Dirty Looks / Rubbernecking

[areacode413]

Running errands with my family. My daughter requested I paint her bedroom. So we all hopped in the MachE to shop for paint at Home Depot. As we were leaving a stoplight, my wife said. Holy crap that guy in a Tesla was staring you down with a look of disgust on his face. So either I am a 49 year old white dude who is ugly as hell, this is possible, or he notice MachE in galloping in the wild and had a reaction of some kind. I have had reactions from the public while driving my old 13’ 5.0 before I traded it in for the new family truckster, however this is first time in the MachE. Thought ya’ll might get a kick out of this …on another note. My 2004 Altima that I drove for 18 years never seems to bother anybody.

Maybe he had gas and just let one loose in his Tesla - reexperiencing those lunch burritos.

Dude could have totally surprised himself. That is plausible.

Who knows.... maybe the guy was having a bad day.

A bit of a fool's errand to try to understand it any further.

My reaction is, "Who cares?" Let the guy be grumpy while and your family enjoy the h*ll out of your Mach-E! Just grin and accerate smoothly away from the stoplight!

Under what massive rock has the other guy been living? I find it hard to believe that he reacted to the car. I think it’s you, bruh ?.

I am not grumpy. Everybody else is just too damn happy.

Tesla driver was just jealous because he was sitting on crap uncomfortable seats staring at a useless dash and wishing his range was closer to what Elon had promised him.

You didn't need to keep typing. You found it.

Also, why is your wife checking out Tesla drivers at stoplights?

You're probably not too far off ?

She checks out all drivers. She does not discriminate.

Ding ding ding.

Way too many instances of people wrongly assuming why other people do things.

Some people are just indiscriminate dicks. It’s not about you.

Yeah, I usually wave at other MMEs. I just assume they don’t see me most of the time. I mean, who wouldn’t wave back at me? ??

Got a stare and thumbs up parking at a restaurant the other day so I guess they cancel out.?

It's surprising that he'd be reacting to you like that. When I first got mine in '21 people would look and occasionally ask me about it but not so much anymore now that there are more of them in the wild.

I actually had a funny encounter with a guy at home depot back then. He was walking by the front of my car as I was getting out, and he saw the pony on the front and started chuckling. I decided to ask the guy what he was laughing at, and he said "you put a mustang badge on your SUV". He was stunned when I told him it was an electric mustang SUV; I showed him the charge port and the mustang name on the dash. He had no idea.
