I just got back from Atlanta. It has the worst drivers I've ever been around and the most Teslas I've ever been around. Make of that what you will.

I wouldn’t either. I guess now that Elon is full on MAGA, they like him?

I sure didn’t see many electric cars made by anyone else. No Bolts or Leafs or Ioniqs in sight. I think I saw a couple of Rivians.

No, I only saw one. But clearly newer models of other Teslas. I disagree about the Cybertruck not looking ridiculously stupid in real life. It looked just as ridiculously stupid to me. As have the handful of other ones I’ve seen.

There are a lot of politically left people in Atlanta, they keep the statewide races competitive. And Atlanta drivers are a special breed.
