I was going to write something sarcastic but the real issue with Tesla is planning and launch estimations. They simply believed that they could push technology out the way a Silicon Valley startup can. As we know, belief does not always translate into reality.

I’ve been saying for years that I like what Tesla is trying to do, but people don’t understand that buildings cars is Hard.

I saw zero Model 3's last week, therefore it’s vaporware and Tesla is doomed!

For producing less than 900 week, they sure have a lot of problems. I think Ford produces 900 F150's a day and has far less problems but that doesn’t fit you narrative now does it?

While I can appreciate your enthusiasm for Tesla, anecdotal sightings aren’t exactly a reliable assessment.

It’s being reported that they’re up to a little over a thousand units per week. That’s less than half of their “adjusted” production targets currently (2,500).

Actually, they all have problems. The difference is they’re more risk averse so they are more careful on how they plan/design things to address the problems or avoid them altogether.

Everyone you knew that owned a house likely hired everything done. Landscaping, upgrades and repairs. The guys that did those had pickups.

Sorry, until you learn how to really genuinely connect with and appreciate the rest of Nature, I hope you will hold off on parenting.

And this response is the answer to your question. People’s lives are vastly different so there’s no way you’ll ever understand why someone wants a pickup. Personally, I daily a 3/4 ton diesel just because it’s what I like to drive right now, this time last year, it was my XJ, and the year before that it was a GTI. I…

We’re quite opposites. lol. I live south of St Louis, I only go into the city once a year, for the boat show. I hate the crowds, the traffic, the smell, the crime, the noise, paying to park, etc. Though we live in a suburb now, we plan to move out far enough that we can have a couple acres to get farther away from our…

Wow, i’m sorry, that sounds like hell.

I can’t understand the motivation for wanting to live in a place where you have to use a parking garage. What if I said I have never known anyone who wanted to do that, it would sound pretty crazy huh? Just because you don’t know them, doesn’t mean people don’t want to be able to buy it. There are plenty of scenarios…

Man, you need to get out and appreciate how the other half lives.

Where do you live? Manhatten?

You’ve never left a major city have you?

I honestly don’t understand the argument for owning any vehicle that isn’t a truck, maybe a complimentary suv for the wife...(my wife has a suv and I have a quad cab Dodge Ram). When I moved I used my truck, when my brother moved I brought my truck. When the wife wants to get some new piece of furniture we take my…

I get a long lunch at work so that is my errand running time, having a trailer only works going to and from home, plus I would need a place to park it.

I am one of the few people who have a crossover/SUV that actually use it to its maximum utility so I would find this thing really useful. I do a lot of stuff where a pickup makes sense (light towing, camping, hauling lumber, mulch etc.), but some giant F-150 is overkill. Having something that drives nicer than a…

And is also another vehicle that needs to be registered and a place to park.
