Too bad it was supposed to be like a $50k truck. Now it's the best selling over $100k... Vanity purchase

Yes......like many of the first adopter EV purchases.....it is a " look at me " purchase. They are silent on the poor quality, poor ( otherwise expensive) charging system infrastructure, poor body panel fit, poor manufacturer support without easy to use dealerships that can fix ( or long term viability of support from some) .... because those aspects severely detract from the " look at me " aspect.
Yall seem kinda salty that someone else is spending 100k on a truck you don’t like. If I was selling something and planned on selling it for 50k but realized I really could get 100k for it I think I would. lol.
Imagine if everything you owned that another person didn’t like they called “virtue signaling” or a “vanity purchase”.
At some point yelling “virtue singnaler” over and over makes you just as bad. You’re signaling your “virtue” just as much.

For $100k it is less capable than something costing $50k. So it's not a purchase based on the capabilities of the truck to do truck things. I think that is fair. And like I said, we nearly put a deposit on one in early 2020... But that was based on how competitive it was with an ICE truck on pricing. That parity no longer exists. Today I'd buy the ICE based on capability, there is no $50k increase in capability. I'm not salty. I could have it if I wanted it, but a Tesla didn't come through on pricing like they stated, that's all.
I really don't care what people say about the things I own... I don't own them to impress, so I'm totally emotionally detached from them and peoples opinions of them.
. It's not virtue, it's vanity.

Nope, not me. $100K on any vehicle is stupid IMO
what are you talking about? I wasn’t saying to buy a 100k truck.

You said we're all salty that someone spent $100k on a truck we didn't like. I wouldn't even be salty about it if someone spent $100k on a truck I did like because it's foolish to me.
