Anyone who knows me has heard too much about Tesla. I'm saving for one, mostly by investing in Tesla stock.

A friend, disgusted by Elon Musk's politics, said he'd never buy a Tesla. I get that. I'll never set foot in a property connected in any with the orange maggot who is still trying to overthrow our democracy. We have to invest in what we believe and he doesn't believe in Musk.

But I'll sure as hell buy a Tesla and more Tesla stock. Electric cars are the future and no one does them half as well as Tesla. Given their record, their self-driving advantage, and future plans, I figure Tesla is wildly undervalued even though they produce so few cars compared with, for example, Toyota.

For me, Toyota is way overvalued. Their valuation doesn't account for their carbon footprint and terrible plans for the future. Toyota minimally innovates the hybrid and acts as if hydrogen vehicles are the future. They work against increased mileage standards because they're stuck on cash-rich products of the moment.

And they sided with the orange maggot.

I've owned three Toyotas including a used Prius I'm driving until I buy a Tesla, but never invest in them again. I'll invest only in the future.

That's an odd thought to have drafted with a fountain pen, really old technology, except that fountain pens are forward-thinking tech. Disposable pens are Toyotas. Fountain pens are Teslas because they don't pollute, lasts years (maybe decades), and the experience of writing with one is a dream. Their value is a combination of usefulness, longevity, ecology, overall cost, and joy of use. Like a Tesla.

I'll invest in that sort of thing every day of the week and twice on Sundays. I don't want disposable or wasteful things. I want value for the long-term.

I'll keep you posted about the Tesla I'm $3,500 away from ordering. You'll never hear the end of it. Not unless I'm busy talking about my fountain pen. Or maybe you'd prefer we didn't talk much anymore. I get that a lot. Before you go, want to buy a used Prius?
