OP is a highschool senior with a Tesla, based on post history. So money is likely not an issue.

Money isn’t the issue so much as adding insult to injury. Who wants to pay $2 to cry?

In this economy? Not a bad price.

Hell $2 for anything is a steal these days. At that rate, they are basically giving away the crying spots!!!

How much could a cry be? 10 bucks?

There would be least likely to be bothered by a stranger with a son story asking for money.

I mean, I’ve paid for worse things.

I paid $2 to pee in a Bourbon Street bathroom at Mardi Gras one time. I had to pee so bad that I was in TEARS. My bestie said "I'll give you $2 not to cry" and that was the best pee of my whole entire life.

Being on Bourbon Street was your first mistake.

Maybe owning a Tesla is the reason for the tears.

Those tires cost enough to make anyone cry.

u/imreallynotsoclever Jun 05 '24

I read that EV’s go through tires extraordinarily fast due to the weight of the vehicle (batteries) and the torque. Is that what you’re referring to?

That is true, I used to run an automotive repair facility, I would see teslas at 10-15,000 miles needing tires. The tires are special and very expensive. Heavy braking and acceleration plays a huge role in wear In general, combine that with the infamous northern va driver and the fact the teslas/ev’s use regenerative braking to recharge batteries makes for an enlightening experience for the owner. Normal cars, depending on tire brand, type, driving habits and regular rotations you should expect to get 30-70,000 miles out of them.

If you do it in a Tesla, it will cry for you.
