Heard an interesting anecdote today. Friend was up in Canada last weekend and, when entering via the Nexus line, there was a Tesla in front that got grilled for 15min. My friend breezed right through. It would be *hilarious* if Canadian immigration officials were profiling Tesla drivers.
I didn’t leave twitter to avoid being exposed to ideas I don’t like, I left it to avoid the people who have those ideas. They’re all stupid, disgusting hogs!
Imagine being obliterated in a rocket explosion 11,000 feet above the Gulf of Mexico because you picked McNeese State over Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.
