Just sold my Ferrari to buy more TSLA

So he is a great salesman...

But are any of those 4 companies worth combined as much as apple? NOPE. So its a really really stupid comparison which I have no idea why you are bringing it up right now.

Musk has more corporate leadership experience than anyone in America? really? More than gates? More than buffet?

Have you seen Elon Musks twitter account?

put some ice in that tesla koolaide you are about to overheat

 

Ohh i need to grow up? You are the one quoting acceleration times of cars that aren't even being built yet and are last on musks list. Yes he has a list and it is last on it.... good thing he already took those deposits though.

 

My P85D was not very reliable which is why I got rid of it. It wasn't even delivered in good condition

 

True. The owners like them despite the reliability issues. However Consumer Reports still pulled their recommendation for the model 3.

Reminds me of Jag, back in the day. Had very poor quality but ppl kept buying them and rating them highly as they were a status car.

Don't get me wrong, I like Tesla cars. I'm an electrical engineer, so I must. However, Musk's arrogance that his plant would run circles around the likes of Toyota made me laugh. I've built cars. Building cars, especially new models, is hard. The existing players will have a fraction of the issues when they decide to get serious about this, for now, niche market.

 

I don't have a dog in this fight. My wife liked the look of the Tesla S a couple years ago so we took it for a test drive. In the end I didn't think it was the right car for her, and she agreed (later ended up with a Porsche Panamera). There's a famous museum here in the Boston area called the Larz Anderson Auto Museum (https://larzanderson.org/). I just received an email from them regarding an upcoming discussion event. The email is below. The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs really surprised me because I has no idea Musk was such an asshat. Here's the email -

Rich Rebuilds: The Dr. Frankenstein of Teslas

Thursday, March 28, 2019


You may have seen local Massachusetts’ resident Rich Benoit on his YouTube channel, Rich Rebuilds that has over 400,000 subscribers and millions of views, where he chronicles his endeavors in repairing and transforming electric vehicles. Rich is taking the world by storm as the “Dr. Frankenstein of Teslas.” His most infamous project was successfully rebuilding a flooded Tesla Model S with parts from a second totaled Tesla, for a grand total of $6,500, making what he considers the world’s cheapest Tesla.


While Massachusetts has the country’s only Right to Repair law, meaning that auto manufacturers are required to provide the same information to independent repair shops as they do for dealer shops, Tesla falls outside the definition of a traditional dealership and even discourages individuals from repairing their own vehicles. Benoit and others like him are forced to salvage parts from junkyards, flood, fire damaged, and totaled cars.


“It definitely goes against Tesla’s mission statement, but if there’s any issue with one of their Teslas and only they can fix it and no one else can, it sits in a field for years. How is that sustainable?” Benoit told Motherboard. Benoit is seeking to make a change and even hopes to continue to educate the public on electric vehicles and open his own repair shop for the Tesla community.


Do you agree with Rich Benoit? Should there be a change in policy or should car manufacturers be allowed to keep their intellectual property under wraps? Join us for a night of rousing discussion and a chance to learn more about Rich’s astonishing adventures!

You're Hilarious

 

The man has been trolling for ages on this thread not even sure why this post still exist.
Funny enough he hasn’t commented on munsk announcements of layoffs last night, and closing of dealerships to move to all online.

JerryZ,. What is your cost basis in TSLA? You made a great trade... Are you still holding on?

 

Porsche hasn't been tested. However, they are saying that it is faster.

One thing I absolutely know is the car can go around a race track without going into limp mode... however your model S can't. It limps its way around the track after hard use

 

thats because tesla is in its honeymoon phase with all of its cult like following. Once regular consumers get there hands on the cars... its going to be tough.

Also, I wouldn't tout consumer reports... well actually Im glad you did because they JUST TOOK TESLA OFF the RECOMMEND LIST for crap reliability and build quality! HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Ahh... so... racing to 60mph in 2.3 seconds is not racing because its not. But going around a track is. Ok lets do the 0-60 twice then a 40-80mph roll then see what happens. How about lets go from 40 mph and beyond. Plenty of other faster cars. The tesla is a one trick pony.

Who wants to track a 5k pound car? Well who wants to street race luxury sedans?

Do your arms get tired from moving the goal posts all the time?

So you know what the taycan does 0-60 in? Really? thats incredibly interesting. Do tell us exactly how fast it is. you are a complete tesla-tard,

Ohh and here comes the roadster talk... its going to be built to do the track? Ok... sure... lets here the excuse when that thing weighs in at 5500 pounds and cant turn.

Also, RIMAC exists and is faster than any tesla. So there.

 

This whole thread is about one guy being so infatuated with Elan Musk and Tesla that he can’t or won’t see any prejudice to his positions and outrageous comments. What is even more absurd is that each of us responding has been sucked into commenting on his ridiculous ramblings.

This thread needs to die an unnatural death and those of us who have been frustrated with obviously over the top statements need to find something else to do. I think hear my sock drawer calling me in desperate need of a sorting session.
