You know someone has an EV because they’ve got a pathologically vapid personalized license plate. Like, a plate so stupid, the only acceptable reason to have it is because your five year old picked it.

But if you, a full grown adult, unironically decide to slap “BATMOBIL” on the ass of your Model X… you’ve fallen victim to a personality cult.

I also can’t help but notice EV honks and crypto bros have a similar vibe.

They’re super excited to tell you how great it is, and how it’s gonna change the world.

They get very defensive when you ask perfectly reasonable questions, like “how does it work? No really, how does it work?” Or “does it do what it’s attempting to do better than the thing it’s attempting to replace?”

For all the important questions, they don’t have an answer, or it’s “no”.
