Hello
Congrats
Curious for your age group, please give the three top reasons for joining rhe Tesla ecosystem?
Tesla ecosystem: Elon, vehicle design, vehicle tech, app, supercharging, energy, this forum, the Tesla employees, the mission, etc
Greetings, 66 Years Old here- Retired last year and sold my 2022 Modified RAM TRX (5MPG) Truck and bought a Model S Plaid. To answer you question directly. I am a Fan of Elon-all you have to do is read his biography by
Walter Isaacson to join this club. Elon is a genius, visionary, industrialist, and as Time magazine said somewhat a clown. Elon has more haters than anyione I've ever seen and has spent a lifetime defying them. Ask an Elon hater why they hate him- the answers are often ridiculous or things like- he is mean, he is a baby when he doesn't get his way or something worse- something political..
Tesla was/is/ will be- a game changer. I've driven a whole lot of very fast cars but the Plaid was the first that actually scared me and literally took my breath away- Way to go Elon! (Now, I need the Track Pack as stopping this beast takes some work.
What a change in mindset to go from a ICE vehicle to a car that has zero knobs, switches, dials etc. It is so clean, a little hard to get used to but now my Merceedes seems to have way too many gadgets on and near the dash. You might use the word clutter. The design of the Model S is is top notch.
I come from a IT/Cyber background so the technology is very cool to me. I love how Elon took huge risks and stood his ground on so many things to get us to where we are today. I love the mission of becoming a multi-planet species. Reaching for the stars is something Elon has done better than just about anyone else.
Tesla is so much more than just an electric car company. It is influenced by SpaceX, Starlink, Boring Company, X, XAi, Neuralink.
Now, Tesla needs to regain the crown at Nürburgring by releasing upgrades to the Model S Plaid and besting the latest Porsche Tycan time of 7
:07.55. Of course this was a preproduction car that nobody had a chance to examine before the record setting lap. I wonder what the production car will cost?
As for community- This is a great community I am proud to be part of it.
