wk057:
There are often times when someone who makes his first baby steps with a neat idea grow up and grow out of that idea. In this case, you made baby steps with Tesla model S, and are growing up out of Tesla. May you have luck working toward your goals, and the rough and tumble of competitive progress not bare you down. Life is an enjoyable journey, and I wish you the best.
p.s., not directed to wk057: I suspect successful anti-progress demons programmed by the oligarchs went after wk057 since he has had such great success in some of his personal projects (yes, these people really exist, and you see their posts and work all the time). If I were in his shoes, regardless of my opinion of Tesla and/or ownership of its products, I would take that as a compliment. My outward reaction would probably be fake, such as claiming "they won" so they stopped attacking me as much, and I might even take actions to fit that profile. This has nothing to do with my opinion of wk057 or his current actions, and is just a conspiracy-like theory of mine that has nothing to do with wk057's opinions and personal goals.
This also refers back to some of the other comments on this thread about the intolerance for anything that isn't 100% positive towards Tesla or certain technologies. I don't know what specifically you mean by who you are thinking of as the "anti-progress demons programmed by the oligarchs" you refer to. I have seen (and to some degree experienced) a lot of push back and some degree of accusation of being with the oil lobby, ICE car lobby, etc. simply because someone has a differing opinion about the feasibility or likelihood that something is going to happen.
I have seen some black and white attitudes among some on this forum. ie if you aren't 100% in agreement with their views about whatever the topic du jour is, you are automatically in lockstep with the opposition. The reality is most topics are much more nuanced with a wide range of opinions ranging across the spectrum.
This isn't just true here. I have seen the world of opinion become much more polarized over the last 20 years. It's very bad in the United States right now, but it seems to be happening around the world too. It may have something to do with the growth of niche media sources that have sprung up over that time period. Some people spend their entire media lives within a narrow spectrum of ideas that agree with theirs and they do the bulk of their communication with people who agree with them.
When they encounter someone who has a differing opinion, their reaction tends to be very extreme and vehement. They are backed by all the people who reinforced their beliefs within the niche culture where they spend most of their time. It encourages people to believe they are 100% right and any other ideas are not just wrong, but evil.
As with everything, there are degrees to this phenomenon. I'm sure some of you are thinking of some extreme cases of this that are hard to ignore, but it happens all over the place, including here. I'm not saying the phenomenon is as bad here as in some other arenas I could mention (but won't), but it does exist here to some degree.
I don't know who attacked wk057, nor can I speculate about the person (or persons) motives. IMO it is a case of cyber bullying and is flat out wrong. I have never seen anything he posted that was all that controversial.
About the closest he came was a bit of push back on the power output from the P85D motors. As someone who is not a sports car guy, it's sort of a tempest in a tea pot thing to me, but I guess it's a burning drama to some who do want the most powerful car around. Maybe that's what set someone off? I have no idea.
In any case, there is a lot of room in this world for differing opinions. In most cases just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make that big a difference in what happens in the real world. Attacking people for having differing opinions tends to make people dig in their heels and entrench their opinions, whether reasonable or not, and stops the cross pollination of ideas which might lead to both sides growing in their knowledge and wisdom.
