I'm a solid thousandaire who bought a used Model 3 in 2019. I'm one of those fuck cars people, but living without one is not currently possible for me, so I went with one with a high safety rating, low maintenance, and no need for gas. Since then, I've bought one set of tires, refilled the windshield wiper fluid, and had a few car washes. It's been pretty great, as a car.

The only problem is... random pickup trucks and Dodge Chargers act crazy around me because the existence of EVs apparently threatens their masculinity. My mom sends me random articles where someone who has no idea what they're talking about complains about the car being a death trap. And now that Elon Musk won't shut the fuck up, I get to read the random ramblings of petulant children online who can't fathom that people might like something they don't.

Fuck me, though, I guess I'm a member of the bourgeoisie now.
