Am I allowed to ask which car a candidate drives?

I’d like to disqualify candidates who drive Teslas as I find it’s a good indicator of bad decision making and judgment of character. As far as I understand, it’s only illegal to discriminate based on a protected class such as race, gender, or orientation. There should be no legal issue with this right?

Legally it’s absolutely allowed. Mad people are going to complain in the comments but ignore them. You can do whatever you want as long as it’s not a protected class for equal opportunity

That will send a message to everyone driving the roadster, ”new”

You are doing God's work

Congratulations, you are disqualified for being horrible at things to disqualify others. Hope this is not a protected characteristic. Teslas are awesome even if Elon sucks

Come on, don't be an idiot like others categorizing people through <xyz>. Not all tesla owners/democrats/republicans/<insert group> are stupid. Let's be better than that, shall we?

Choosing a Tesla for a vehicle violates a few LPs. Maybe you should start using it in your interviews…

Honestly speaking, even if it's because of gender or race, ppl always find other excuses, it's nothing new

Ask an indirect question like tell me what you see when you open your garage door. This question will reveal a whole bunch of stuff about a candidtates organization skills, lifestyle and hobbies plus you will hear about brands which will tell you how insecure they might be or out the narcissists. Easy question without legal implications.

What if the answer is there is no garage? Housing prices are through the roof and cities like New York don't have many home garages.

Maybe it doesn’t matter to you since you write CRUD apps for a product that’s going to be sunsetted next year, but I make stuff where people’s lives are on the line. If they choose a Tesla to drive around, what kinds of poor decision making will they do when evaluating components/vendors when building systems for work?

Please do ask and reject so that they don’t have to work with a moron like you. Win win.
