Driving a Tesla to an Oil Refinery?

I am graduating from college this May and have a job as a Process Engineer at an oil refinery once I’m out. I really want a new car once I’m on my new salary and Tesla’s have always caught my eye. The problem is, how much crap am I gonna get for driving it to work? Specifically from the people who work there, since it’s in the US Midwest, red state, city population ~15,000.
