It's a lot of extra effort for me to race other cars when I'm driving the Tesla. I have to roll my window down at the stoplight, give the other driver my mean face and yell "vroom vroom!"

Just owning a Tesla is male peacocking. Look at me! Look at me!

If you’re being serious noaaa, they are pretty subtle, sure it might be a status car but I wouldn’t say it’s over the top peacocking at least. With the guys who drive cars or trucks with obnoxiously loud exhaust, it’s either over the top peacocking or just simply being an attention w****.

Now I will say the exception to this negative stigma of being obnoxious to 99.9 percent of the other drivers with a really loud exhaust would be having a super car of some sort.

Showboating with a $20,000 mustang and overly loud exhaust, pretty lame, and waaayyy too much road ego for the car. There’s a big imbalance.

Showboating with a $300,000 lambo or whatever, yea the road ego can be more justified and respected, imo. More balanced.

Showmanship is probably pretty low on the priority list for most Tesla buyers. For the money, you could get something way flashier.

My wife got the Tesla merely so she could take the carpool lane on her way to work. She got the performance model for FUN. Showing off was probably not on her list of reasons. When I met her she had a small sports car and loved it, drove a minivan for the previous 8-10 years hauling kids so she earned the right

The probably all hold low prestige and low power positions in the job market so when on the streets they have to compensate and overly assert their dominance. Alpha males aren’t afraid to make noise. Basically when you hear or see on on the road you are a lesser status and lower in the wolf pack then they are.

My thoughts echo yours almost exactly.

I can't speak for every female because I know some of them are turned on by these alpha wannabes.

Speaking for me and some of my friends, when we see a dude in a loud car or giant pig-up truck, we immediately say he must be a low performer, and not just in his line of work.

Agreed, also with the rice burners that sound like my weedeater, another thing I don't get.
If you have a supercar, it deserves to be loud, Unless everyone on your block has one, then it's annoying again.
Those Huge lifted trucks? We all know what people think when the 5 foot tall dude falls out of the seat when he opens the door and everyone that see's him thinks " I know this guy must have a tiny chingus, lol

Noise pollution is defiantly a problem in Chandler and the valley in general.
Tonight for example, it's supposed to be Christmas eve aka "silent night"
Yet Morons in Chandler think this is a holiday to set off fireworks and scare every animal all night for hours.

Fireworks are a Christmas eve tradition in many parts of the world including Latin America where many Phoenix residents have roots. Fireworks that explode are not legal in AZ though.
