Anti-Tesla Snark

Does anyone else get the below from other people who presumably hate technological progress?

How do you respond when the other party is not receptive to facts at all?

Examples:

A. Bangor, ME, USA - I AirBnBed with a former US marine. He started to pick a fight over the fact that I own a Tesla. He tried to tell me he never sees any charging stations. He is a huge cross country driver (despite working in the Aviation Industry). He asked how long it takes to charge. I said on 2% left it took me an hour to get back to 95% charge. He started to insult the car saying on the I-10 it takes 10 hours at 100 miles an hour to drive. That would add (2)-(3) hours to his trip. I told him Elon is working on charging speeds so they are faster. Also, more and more Super Chargers will be built. He didn't seem keen on listening. The more I kept contradicting him with facts - the angrier he got.

I was able to make it on a 310 M3 AWD from Bangor to Campobello Island in Canada and back with 7% battery left. The next day I was able to go from Bangor to Mt. Katahdin and the Ice Caves with only 2% battery left (That was bad because I was going 59 mph in a 75 mph zone, but everyone was cool with it). Figured I could use the Baxter State park charger. This video had a model X. I arrived and my Model 3 was not compatible with the Level 2 charger there. Guess Model X's have a multi-pronged charge port. Each time I told him about my close calls. His views started to change.

B. Quebec City and Montreal in general - lots of people (Montreal Esp) have BMW's, Mercedes and the like. When I roll up with the Tesla I get mugged super hard. People also make it a point to stare at my WA state plates. I waive to them and they never return the waive. This has happened over 15 times now. One local said it was because they aren't use to seeing WA plates. Some people also try to race me more in Canada than all the states from Virginia to Maine that I've driven through. Odd.

C. Montreal, Canada - I roll up to pay for parking at St. Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal. The attendant sarcastically asks in his French accent, "How many charges did it take you to get from WA state?" I don't interpret sarcasm well so I went into geek mode and started explaining the car's range. He then said "Two or three charges" and smiled smugly. I didn't understand until I remembered that many of my fellow Catholics are lean conservative. Montreal is a majority Catholic/Christian city. I dislike having to equate ignorance to my religion, but that is what I've been experiencing. Sh*ts on a Tesla and then texts on his smartphone...

D. Bragg Farm Sugar House & Gift Shop - Montpelier, VT - an older man (60's) from Baltimore asks if I am driving the Tesla out there. I say, "Yes sir" and he chuckles at me for addressing him with respect. Then he goes on to talk about how he was the first thousand on the wait list. He gave up and got all defeatist on me. "What does an old guy like me need a $50k car for anyways." I told him about my rough customer service experience at Tesla to make him feel better. It didn't seem to work. He was too preoccupied with the poor marketing of the battery. Ultimately, I smelled regret which turns into resentment towards Tesla. He said he bitterly ended it by saying he was happy for me. Seemed like he just wanted someone to listen to him complain. I understand why this man dislikes Tesla. The first two just seemed to fear the unknown and dislike change.

I know I shouldn't give a damn. I am from the West Coast where I don't encounter people like this. Most of my friends are pretty progressive and technological millennials. So dealing with tech averse folks is a first for me.
