It was all bullshit from the start. No EV is taking people on a brutal drive. I drove Austin to Tucson before, and I have driven from Grand Prairie (Canada) to Ft. Laird. I didn't know they could make unpaved mud/gravel roads have potholes in them, but somehow the Canadians managed this feat.
Seems like the republican goal is to have Texans sneak across the border to have their kids educated in Mexico.
Where did you get your numbers for the 60,000 private school student from?
No this is not a reasonable statement. It is defensive and distracting as not a single person asked him to divest the car for our own approval nor would anyone expect someone to take a loss or make a decision based on our preference. His past statements about buying into the sales hype of having the car make money or be self-driving and safe is not really much different that when our wives come home and tell us how much they saved on those new boots. It is difficult to convince someone they were played/conned and there sometimes is just no benefit from doing so. Just reply "those boots are lovely, dear."
This is a great teaching moment here. I suggest you instead respond with something like the following:
"Goddamnit Elon, now I drive two NAZI cars? (Tesla and VW)"
"I didn't know he was a Nazi when I bought it" (or the overused "I did NAZI that salute coming"
"I wonder if NOTANAZI license plate is available?"
Remember it is really all the Democratic Party’s fault to nominating Hillary Clinton. I mean, we had to vote for a conman, sex offender, felon, because reasons.
