This is the answer. I don't know why anyone else bothered to comment.

Congrats. As a gift, you get a comparison of my car with a Westy front and an Aero front.

It takes serious neglect to brick one. It's the same thing as running a gas/diesel motor without oil and going "what a stupid design" when it melts and seizes. Tesla definitely should have had clearer warnings about it, but it's just a different sort of problem that comes with a different sort of car.

Again . . how many have been built and how many have been bricked?

They don't last? What a baseless statement - the oldest Roadsters are now a ripe age of . . . 4 years old!

You're so right, that's definitely the single episode that defined what owners thought of the Roadster! How many were built and how many were bricked? How much have you actually been around these cars?

From everything I hear, it drives fantastically. Again, this article seemed unnecessarily harsh, but whatever. I'm really looking forward to seeing the car come out and letting it speak for itself.

Too hard to find, even though they're excellent cars.

I can definitely see it.

Without a doubt.

Thanks for writing that out, it's very cool to get a thorough perspective from an owner! I saw one in person for the first time last Saturday and it looked quite nice.

Ok, visually unpleasant. Everyone has a different opinion. I wouldn't doubt for a second that it's a comfortable car, or fast, or whatever, but it doesn't please me, so that makes it unpleasant to me.

Ugly, automatic, unpleasant.

Not only do I disagree, I really like the car and I spotted a typo:

Extremely cool.

Nibbles!

I agree 100%, I have a sealed 10" in my trunk and I don't crank it like an idiot. Makes a world of difference though!

Great call.

I would have done some things differently, but props to the builder for actually driving this car. At the end of the day, it's got a motor and wheels, and it's meant to be used.

Shoot, what a sweet car.
