Once a must for wealthy Seattle-area liberals, Teslas feel Elon backlash [View all]

By Paul Roberts / The Seattle Times

For Tesla drivers in and around Seattle, the mood these days can feel a little charged.

In a metro area famous for its Democratic majorities, driving an electric vehicle whose maker, Elon Musk, just helped reelect Republican Donald Trump can earn its own special version of the Seattle freeze.

Parked Teslas have been spray-painted and smashed. Tesla drivers have been given unseemly hand gestures.

“It’s surprising how much more often I get flipped off now than 2 days ago,” quipped a member of a Seattle Cybertruck Facebook group shortly after the Nov. 5 election.

I don't agree with vandalism. The rest of the ridicule might be okay. I venture to guess most people bought their Tesla before they knew what an asshole Musk was.
