If the Tesla owners encountered were actually snobs, wearing designer clothes, Rolex watches, with recently styled hair and you were in what you wear to work on your EV and no bling, perhaps you were socially unacceptable to them. Some people have rather shallow standards, probably would not talk to me about my Citicars if I were at an event in a dress I had made instead of something they had seen in a fashion magazine. If I added a few pounds of gold and diamonds to my attire the snobs would love my cars. Just a thought from Las Vegas where ostentation rules. Tesla is the designer car brand of the day.

Sounds like "Burned EVangelist Syndrome". It is not about you or your EV, people who behave like that *are* the problem, so don't take their monkey, it is not your problem. Please don't get discouraged from talking about your EV to others because a few are having a problem...

I am certainly not nor or other Tesla owning EVDLers..."/ A few years ago I was participating in the local club's display of EVs. I stepped up to two Tesla S owners talking just as one asked the other if he had ever dropped down from a local mountain summit. He had not. I chimed in that I had, and they gave me a look of disdain and turned away. Last year I was at a get together with some people I used to work with. A VP was proudly discussing his Tesla S when a friend mentioned my converted EV. Again the look of disdain, that my friend would even mention such a vehicle in the same conversation. Not all are that haughty, I know a couple who are not, but many more I have met are. _______________________________________________
