The Hate Is REAL: Teslas Are Increasingly Being Bullied By Diesel Pickups

The Hate Is REAL: Teslas Are Increasingly Being Bullied By Diesel Pickups
A Tesla Model 3 driver got coal rolled by a pickup truck driver who admitted to targeting the vehicle because it was a Tesla — showing the hate for the electric automaker is real.

Coal rolling is when a modified diesel pickup truck spews black sooty exhaust fumes while accelerating, and targeting people, bikes, or cars with the fumes.

Tesla owners have previously reported pickup truck owners trying to coal roll their cars, seemingly because they were Tesla vehicles or electric cars.

Well that's what happens when you're a vegan, soy-boy, apologist who has lopped off his own balls.

Who says "soy-boy"?

Soy-boy:

"A term used by whiny alt-righters to insult anybody who even remotely dissents from hyperconservative orthodoxy.

The term is typically used by frustrated involuntarily celibate white males who portray themselves as victims of those who reduce their arguments by calling them Nazis and racists; these males tend to have no self-awareness of the irony that they themselves are doing the exact same thing by calling their opposition soy boys."

Ah. Of course. Fits Darringer to a tee.

Shows how dumb some US drivers are. Electricity in the USA comes from burning coal. They should be happy to see Tesla's on the road as it provides them and their friends in the coal and power industries with job security. It happens to cyclists too. Just report the plate to the police and they will pay them a visit.

" Electricity in the USA comes from burning coal."

Not in the least accurate. Yes, a percentage does come from coal, but that percentage varies widely across the country. country-wide, coal is no longer even at 50% of the total. Here in the northwest, we are mostly hydro, with other renewables increasing, while coal and natural gas are decreasing. In my state, coal will be completely eliminated by 2025.

@ACT- Actually over 60% of the electricity in the USA comes from fossil fuel, split close to evenly between coal and natural gas. In contrast, 60% of the Canadian grid is powered by Hydro generated power vs 9% in the USA. And if you modify your vehicle to do this you should expect a fine.

I didn't say fossil fuel, nor did you. We were discussing coal. Nothing I said was inaccurate. I even mentioned that Nat Gas is used. But coal is not the major power provider it was 20 years ago. Maybe even 15. I'm not certain when the decline actually began.

Yes, Nat Gas is also a fossil fuel, But compared to coal it's far, far cleaner. And it doesn't require workers descending into a deep mine, or a huge open pit cut into the earth. But it's use will diminish over time as renewables become more cost effective.

@CANADIANCOMMENTS your comments are hilarious but what I find the funniest is that I am in the energy sector and me and my team have to go to CANADA to run your power projects because you guys in Canada don't have the technical expertise to do the job but here you are always talking smack about the greatest country of the world were everyone wants to come, legally or illegally regardless of the of the BS people like you talk.

Familiar story. I'm sure owners had their horse's crap near newfangled motorcars in 1920.

I'm a diesel fan, but these people are just plain assholes. Rolling coal don't make their truck any faster or more powerful, it consumes fuel without doing anything but making a cloud. And for any truck newer than then early 00s, they have likely broken the law in their state as well as EPA.

It's actually 98 and that's with it being weighed down with one subgroup.

LOL it's the dimbulbcrats that are dragging down the IQ - people like the idiots that are destroying statues of folks like Abraham Lincoln and trying to start their own fiefdom AKA CHAZ.
