I don't understand why you think you want a Tesla at all. You constantly complain on this board about how the company treats its customers. You've been mostly negative about everything Tesla. So why get any closer to that by actually owning a Tesla vehicle?
Really? Please tell me this - when is the last time you started a GoFundMe to raise money for the person who created and runs supercharge.info? Or are you saying that was negative also on my part?
Supercharge.info - GoFundMe for Blueshift (Round 2)
Blueshift's Fund - Supercharge.info (this is the first one I did in Feb 2015)
And also note that I have NEVER posted my feelings on Tesla service since I do not have a Tesla. I have only re-posted what OTHERS are posting right here in the TMC forums - real owners, real experiences. And I post these in the Investors thread. How you feel about Tesla the car (and the company) is totally different than what you may or may not feel about the stock. I re-post owners comments about their experiences with the car and the company in the investors thread to get other investors' feedback to help me decide on investments. Sometimes I present them in a negative light because it triggers the most reaction and I can get a lot of feedback on what others think of the negative experiences some owners have had.
Nonetheless, if you would like, I will gladly show you my 5 year old long position in Tesla. I've never sold a single share. Would you be willing to do the same? I have a significant amount of money invested in Tesla (at last to me) - you better believe I am going to look at ALL aspects of the company - especially owner experiences. That doesn't mean I don't love Tesla, Musk, or that I don't want one so bad it's killing me - even with some of the horror stories RIGHT HERE ON TMC.
