“No airbags. We die like men.”

Well put. I see your point. I’m not sure I expect quite the same things but then again, I’m not going to be a tesla customer. I’m glad they’ve goosed the market.

I think the guy’s public persona sucks but there’s no denying that tesla and spacex are spearheading (laregely positive) change in thier industries.

Oh wow, tell that to ford, who still can't roll out a new model without build quality issues, or source a viable transmission. Or Chevy, who can't source a battery that doesn't catch fire, blah blah. 

Beyond that, it introduces another needless level of complexity when trying to compare car prices, and takes us farther from the goal of the price being the price.

I don’t understand this take. You don’t buy a first year model from the big 4 because they WILL fuck it up. Neither GM or Ford will forgo recalling half a million vehicles for a dangerously shit tranny or Bolts that catch fire when parked because GM sourced yet another dangerously cheap critical part. The Germans are…

On the other hand, not having to pull over and throw all the doors open to dig for a phone or pen or keys that fall out of my pocket or off my wife's lap is nice.

My google assistant (which is supposed to be inactive) gets tripped by Dr Steven Novella and starts defining words at me. I'm spooked every time.

I hope so! I will buy one! But not from the big 3 or Tesla. Why? Because they’ve always sucked. GM will always pinch pennies in the most baffling places. Ford will always push out dangerously shitty transmissions (for example). Hell, ford is so bad at making cars that they quit doing it! The Germans will always be…

Oh I get you. Yes, point taken. 

That's exactly true, in that a laser is totally the coolest, quickest way to cut your sandwich perfectly straight.

Bruh. They're farmed. Literally a tree growing industry. Enjoy your tree made from oil.

I mean sure you can take the phone to another provider but anyone except cricket is gonna be like "nah."

Yep. Tesla is done for. Gonna collapse.

I’m not gonna buy a tesla but aside from toyota or honda, what automaker has this reputation? Ford will knowingly sell you a defective transmission. GM will self-immolate while parked (and GM has always been cheap crap for the money anyway). You don't want to own anything German out of warranty. You gotta baby a…

You have a FIAT-based user name and ask if Thursday is too early for drinking?

Yes, when other major automakers start making EVs, like the Bolt, it’ll have all the quality we’ve cone expect from them.

Over 100 comments though. The poison posts are GOLD.

It’s ok. American talk shows are trash too.

Tbis is such a good answer. You have the deep knowledge.
