‘I’ve had tons of death
‘I’ve had tons of death threats on email because I drive a Tesla’
Mitchell Feldman said one man laughed in his face, and asked if he ‘supported Elon Musk by driving a Tesla
On March 6, 2025, Mitchell was at a Teddy Swims concert in Wembley when he parked his Tesla in the car park. He said he could see a young man pointing at him and laughing which made him feel “violated”.
Mitchell said: “I parked outside the parking metre, as I pulled up, there was a youngish guy with his partner, and daughter laughing and pointing at me. When I got out of the car, he came up to be quite abrasive and said ‘I presume you support Elon Musk driving one of those’.
“I felt quite violated, I didn’t know what to say. He then laughed at me and walked away with his family. I had never experienced anything like that.
Mitchell then wrote a post about his experience on LinkedIn where he received more backlash and death threats as a result. Despite the hate he has received, Mitchell has no intentions of getting rid of his Tesla and is planning on ordering the new Model Y.
Mitchell said: “I found out that the new model Y is available in the UK, and I will be ordering a new one. I am waiting for a phone call from Elon Musk to say thank you for the post and here is a free Cyber Truck.
“If anything, it has made me more steadfast in my support.”

Mainwaring to Wilson “you see that, Wilson done in no time at all, resourcefulness and graft, that’s what these men have got”
Wilson “yes, sir it’s really quite marvellous”
(Cut to 4 feet of lines – audience laughter)
Mainwaring “you stupid boy, that’s meant to go around the corner and up to the Novelty Rock Emporium “
Pike “it wasn’t my fault, that’s all the paint there was” (holds up empty paint tin)

Weirdly interesting YouTube
Weirdly interesting YouTube and didn’t know cars were using Lidar – except Tesla, of course, plain old camera there.
It seemed a lot of trouble to go to to sneak a Lidar unit into Disneyworld just to map an enclosed roller-coaster and wouldn’t wearing a face mask just draw attention to you at the security desk?

One more grass verge (converted to parking) will fix it.
