Is it just me?

Today I was at the vet and this guy asked about my lightning and I ended up giving him a full feature tour and almost gave him a ride because he couldn’t comprehend the acceleration. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me, I have probably done this like 7 times since getting it in March does it happen to any of you guys?

My favorite quote so far, I loved this guy and we talked for a while:

"It's all electriconical, no gas inside 'em?"

EMF radiation conspiracy guys are tiring and consistent though, that and the "it's worse for the environment than an ICE vehicle because it requires mining". Didn't grow on a tree like your 5.2L with fuel from an 87 octane magical waterfall hahaha.

I always tell them "oh you didn't know they use those same metals to refine oil and they can't be recycled after? At least my battery can be recycled in 300-500k miles 🤷‍♂️"
