LOL
I can’t believe so much crap on this topic. I could read some posters going nuts, from attacking Musk to finally admiring him. I think most of them were never involved in any manufacturing type of jobs. So, they ignore some things like R&D, suppliers failing to deliver, and, most of it comes from a company in its early stages no matter how old you think Tesla is. It is still crawling and will grow up some day.
Were you in Redfin forums when Facebook IPO went on? You would have laughed at them posters if you knew they are here, but many said it was a failure. Now, they are cheerleaders for it.
I remember people (Lexa) attacking me for attacking Musk.
Musk is a public figure. Public figures are fair game. Attacking anonymous people on this forum is a waste of time.
A lot of it is driven by the valley i think. Very common to see the model 3 on the roads these days. I have several co-workers who have already received their model 3 or have ordered it (and we are an old school tech company).
my case (Honda -> Model 3)
Co-worker A: Porsche Boxster -> Model 3
Co-worker B: BMW (3? 5?) -> Model 3
Co-worker C: ?? -> Model 3
Co-worker D: Leaf -> Model 3
and a few more but too lazy to write up
