    The guy I was replying to was making a total non sequitur, and I replied pointing out that his comment didn’t make sense wrt the discussion. And now you’ve replied to this… why? I legitimately don’t even understand why you posted that.

      Sorry, I interpreted your comment as a oblique way of saying his purchase of a Tesla was a financially irresponsible choice vs say, buying a van or similar utility vehicle

  I have multiple times been picked up by Uber drivers in Teslas. I also am good friends with a Tesla owner he got as an inheritance in spite of living paycheck to paycheck. Also a lot of people see cars as investments in a status symbol that will allow them access to more opportunities and respect in life. A van makes you look like someone that lives in a van.

    I have multiple times been picked up by Uber drivers in Teslas. Those Teslas may be been rented, Uber and Hertz made a deal to make Teslas rentals available to rideshare drivers: https://www.reddit.com/r/UberEATS/comments/13my447/i_rented_a_tesla_from_hertz_to_drive_for_uber/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UberEATS/comments/13my447/i_rented_...
