I think this is just ridiculous. EV’s/plug-in hybrids have been on the road for a long time, and never in significant numbers to “endanger” their precious fuel guzzlers. It’s not like Cummins diesels are about to be outlawed.

Now, there aren’t any Tesla supercharging stations where I live, but I have experienced more harassment on the road from pickup truck drivers than any other type of vehicle. I’ve had them roll coal on me, cut me off when merging, pull out in front of me, run stop signs, and even had a couple run me down and brake check me on the interstate because I passed them. Plus, many like to drive around with cheap HIDs in their reflector housings and blind everyone on the road. :banghead:

Has anyone here experienced this? Don’t these degenerates have anything else to do - cousin love, meth addiction, perhaps actually contributing to society, etc?

The funny thing is I have both (Duramax), I only roll coal on people that are being idiots... :). But yeah, down here in San Diego, I get a Dodge truck a day trying to race my Si on the freeway - it's comical and makes my daily drive so much more interesting!

It's funny, I drove a EX-L for 2.5 years and only had people mess with me on occasion, this Si does something to other drivers and I get challenged daily.
