I used to troll those trolls on Twitter.

Haha I’ll have to use this one.
I’m the only EV owner at the shops I service, & they used to get on me, till gas prices

We were setting up for the school carnival when I overheard the principal trying to figure out how to provide power for the sno cone truck. Their extension cords were too short to reach into the building. I walked over and said that I could power their sno cone truck for the night with my Lightning. It worked beautifully and they probably made over 400 sno cones in the 87 degree weather.

Lots of people were curious and asked questions about the Lightning. It’s funny how many people listen to all of the benefits abut then try to focus on what they think are the obstacles of owning an EV. They almost alway ask whether I’ve gotten through a winter with it, or ask how much money I’ll have to spend when the battery needs to be replaced. Hopefully my responses have helped to get people to think more favorably about EVs. .Their jaws drop when they hear that our off peak charging rates are so low that I pay about $15 for 900 miles.

That is awesome. It is nice to make the kids happy.

I don't even bother anymore. There are some real assholes at my job. For 3 years I've tried to talk to them about the myth that the battery needs replaced after 50-100K miles and all of the other myths... I just don't bother with trying to convince or convert anymore.

The ringleader clown at my job swears that I wasted my money and that EVs are dumb... this is the same clown that told me last week that he spends $35 per day to get to work and back in his 2025 F-250! I told him... "Good luck with that." I told him that "the sun fills my tank for free every day!"

Same here, only I worked at a coal power plant(retired thankfully).
They didn’t like it because it was anti-pollution , I told them, “We make electricity here not gasoline so my truck supports our jobs!”
They even ran an extension cord to my truck (a firing offense) and called the guards. Lucky me, we had smart guards with video of the guy with the cord wearing a full respirator mask to hide his face and figured the guy was about 5’8”, I’m 6’4”.
