    “Fire it at the Tesla in front of me…” The animosity toward Tesla owners (or Prius or any other EV/Hybrid owner) is stupid. Why hate them?

    Because the CEO of Tesla is a massive bastard? That’s not their fault. They may not have even known what a fuckhead he was when they bought it, nor should his behavior influence their car ownership. Plenty of good people work for Tesla too.

    Or because they don’t support the gas/oil industry? That’s moronic. As much of a shit goblin Musk is, he holds no candle to the collective evil of the fossil fuel lobby.

    Don’t hate someone for their taste in consumer goods. They’re just trying to get through life, same as you.

    Now, if you wanna launch that snow drift at a “coal rolling” diesel pickup truck who is intentionally destroying the environment, that’s a different thing altogether.

      Teslas are some of the most clueless drivers on the road, especially model Ys and model 3s. They’ve surpassed BMW/Mercedes as the not paying attention stereotype.

      I target Teslas when I see them in Rocket League. Especially when Knockout is up.
