When I bought my 2000 Honda Insight, I was harassed, verbally assaulted and (in several cases) purposely run off the road. People were seriously offended by a hybrid back then. I warned everyone back then that rode in my car. My mother and future wife experienced it first hand.
I think there are 2 things going on with Tesla… the first is similar to what I went through and the second is simply jealous have-nots. You can criticize something you don’t prefer, but once you cross the line and harass/threaten, you’ve officially become a piece of shit.
