talkpoliticsLOL this goes to show that people weren't buying Teslas because they were EVs, but rather, they bought them because of Elon:
Tesla Drivers Are Getting Fed Up With Elon Musk's Twitter Meltdowns
He created a cult of personality and used it to sell crappy cars at exorbitant prices based on future features that can not ever work.
Penn and Teller did an episode of BullShit in which they presented a “fine dining aficionado” with immaculately presented food that was really just a tv dinner. The foodie loved it, even though the food was objectively terrible. Humans are bad at being objective.
I’ve thought of Tesla’s in this way, the presentation is fantastic... But the build quality and materials are god awful. If you switched the T for a chevy logo, would anyone think that it was a good car?
Five years from now used Tesla's will be as cheap as VHS machines.
Sorry, great idea, lousy execution, crappy build quality, and a price that can only be compared to early first gen DVD players, which originally retailed for well over 1500 bucks.
(The Tesla car Musk didn’t design (the roadster) is a very cool car)

Having the smarts to produce an electric vehicle geared like a sports car, aimed squarely at the aspiring-upper-class with disposable income.
That popularized electric vehicles in a way that multiple years of the Prius never did.
