Maybe it's Elise owners who are being bourgeois - feeling all superior for being 400lbs lighter or whatever?

Plus I couldn't get over how shocked I was that Teslas have NO exhaust pipe, just never occurred to me until I seen one, really cool!

My vote is that Tesla's are cool and Tesla drivers are pioneers!

There are plenty of Elise daily drivers in CA - there are 4 in the parking lot of my office right now. The weather here makes it much easier to drive a fun car (Elise or Tesla) everyday.
