Does one have to own a Tesla to be a coastal elite?

No. Anyone who spends that much money for an inferior car is just crazy.

I hear that the electric car credit is going away and Tesla stock cratered. Is that true? @FeetAreFantastic

@jackjjackson I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. This whole electric thing is just a hype and I don't think it's a viable solution in the long run.

There are vehicles I’d rather have for the same money. What are your preferences?. @FeetAreFantastic

@jackjjackson for that amount of money I'd buy a BMW.

I’ve read that the carbon footprint in making one especially the battery which must ultimately be disposed of is greater than for the typical gas powered car? @FeetAreFantastic

@jackjjackson I think that's true. What's also true is that the electricity that goes into the battery had to be produced itself also. Is that green electricity only? I doubt it.

Isn’t Al Gore himself a layer of a huge carbon footprint who buys credits to make himself feel better about it? Seems like he is only fooling himself. He could easily adapt to the Amish lifestyle righta. @FeetAreFantastic
