... Calling someone a "fanboy" or "fanboi" is the same as calling someone a "troll", is an ad hominem attack for the sole purpose of eliciting emotional reactions in others. That behavior should also be prohibited for the same reason.
I call myself a Tesla fanboy. ("Fanboi" should not be permitted on the grounds that it's spelled wrong.) I was intrigued by Tesla from the very beginning. I flew down from Spokane to CA and visited their headquarters when the Roadster was still under development, and they gave me a ride in a prototype. It was very uncomfortable with the seats leaning
wayyyyy back, and the cooling system was
looooouuuud! Some 4 or 5 years later, tired of the lack of power in my Zap Xebra (I was driving electric before the Roadster went on sale to the public) I flew to Seattle and test-drove a 2.5 Roadster. Such an improvement over the prototype!!! I've been driving my Roadster for almost 7 years.
I'm willing to put up with a lot to be a part of this, so in spite of some complaints about the Model 3 design, I'm really happy with the car. I will tell everyone who will listen (including especially Tesla, if I can find an email address to send suggestions to) what's good and what's bad about the car, because I think they can make it better, and with our feedback I think they will.
So, yes, fanboy here, and I don't regard that as an insult, as long as it is applied where it is true.
(By contrast, I'm pretty much locked into the Apple universe because the gadgets work together, but I'm not an apple fanboy. I just think their phones/tablets/computers suit me better than the alternatives.)
But Tesla, now this is a company that's out to make the world a better place. And while they definitely need to improve their quality, and improve the UI, the Model 3 is a really nice car.
