Bitcoin true believers are the ones who wouldn't do this because they believe it will keep going up.

Why? Don't true believers believe BTC has use besides being an unregulated speculative vehicle? So they'd love the normalization of buying something as major as a car with it?

Or are we just admitting that pretense is gone with the wind and now "true believer" refers to the HODL crowd?

BTC true believers believe its a currency not a speculative asset you hold and it magically appreciates in value.

It's not magic:

    Bitcoin is a non-sovereign, hard-capped supply, global,
    immutable, decentralized digital store of value. It’s an
    insurance policy against monetary and fiscal policy
    irresponsibility from central banks and governments
    globally. — @Travis_Kling
