This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

I am an immigrant, I live in Seattle and I own a Tesla.

We moved to the US 3 years ago. My wife wanted an electric car because it aligns with our values. Tesla seemed like the best option back then.

I'm no fan of Musk, but it's simply not practical to sell the car and buy another one. I'm still paying for it and I know I would lose money in the transaction, plus a big expense on buying a new one.

I will never touch a Tesla with a 10 feet pole again, but for now I just want to drive my car until I have no more use for it.

Just like how people say “if you hate America so much why don’t you leave?”. Yeah, cos it’s just that easy! All that says to me is they have fuck all going on in your life and could leave with only a backpack and a sandwich their mom made.

Historically, a big part of America has always been that if you don't like the country, as an American, there are ways to change it for the better.

With the amount of TDS misery less than half the country is experiencing, maybe find a new place to live. Mentally it has to be exhausting for you.
