If the former is the case I’ll be happy to follow. I think I’ve about had it with Gawker’s antics the past couple months.

I’ve always been of the opinion that the crime is underusing a car, not overusing it. If you just park it, that’s lame, but if you go beyond what it was ever intended to do that’s usually awesome, as long as you don’t put innocent people at risk by doing whatever it is you’re doing.

I give them credit for using the cars—as if keeping them in heated garages under covers and only taking them out for short cruises on sunny weekends is so “manly”.

Top notch counter point

So let me get this straight - years ago Tesla said to themselves “ya know, I bet we’re going to be burning cash way too fast, let’s start making an affordable electric car so that in three years we can start taking pre-orders at $1,000 each to generate cash to save ourselves”. Yea, no. You’re severely underestimating…

They didn’t buy a car on day one. They put down a $1,000 deposit (which represents 1/35th the minimum purchase price). If your plan is to wait a few months after it comes out - you will be stuck waiting several more years as it will take them a while to crank out the ~250,000-500,000 pre-ordered cars

They aren’t ordering it. The $1000 refundable deposit just secures you a spot in line. You don’t actually build/order the car until late 2017 at the earliest.

Of course they are building A mid-engine sports car. One. Single. Car. To take to auto shows... and then they will mass produce a newer version of this:

Horn was also well liked and respected by VWoA corporate employees, much more so than Browning. This is a major blow to VWoA and seems really odd since not only did everyone like him and he was far removed from engineering, he had only been in the position since the start of 2014. Even if he knew about the cheating…
