Check out Porsche's pre-orders for the Taycan demand in Norway! Looks like the Big Bear made a huge mistake. I have said this so many times before on this board. I love my Tesla, it might have already had some issues but I am not paying anything YET, for the repairs. Now the scheduling isn't the greatest but once I do finally get my appointment and drop off, given a loaner and treated not quite to the level of other high-end luxury dealerships, but still very pleasant.
Now the constant lying about everything from A-Z and the controversial and illegal things that they do just piss me off. I think Elon is a genius to get the company off the ground and competing in the auto industry in such a small amount of time which is impossible, well it would have been if not for being government subsidized with all the money they got but Fisker Karma was doing the same thing. If you don't remember Fisker Karma, they actually had a brilliant and amazing looking cars. However, they went bankrupt and bought by China based company for pennies on the dollar.
So Tesla has accomplished amazing things and even has the ev market cornered if they just don't go broke and lose it all. My issue is that Tesla could have done all these things without being shady, lying, deceiving and broken the law, contracts with potential buyers, etc. I respect Elon as a entrepreneur, innovator, a person ( I like that he got on Joe Rogan and smoked etc. Makes him just that more relatable to a lot regardless if you smoke or not) and everything in between, just not the constant lies, delays, promises, and how they run their business (that is for another whole discussion). I'm a big believer in Karma and what goes around comes around, so I'm not perfect but do strive to do onto other's , what i expect to do onto me.
If you cannot google it for yourself I will leave a link to at least 4 articles in my next post. Now onto the member who just blast anyone who say's anything negative about Tesla. For one it is ok to be critical of any car you may have purchased, pretending not to be due to embarrassment or what ever it may be is just cowardly in a sense and financially irresponsible.
To justify losing a bunch of money simply because you will just keep the car is complete ignorance. What if you ran into an issue financially, unexpected and were forced to sale your Tesla? What if we start to have another recession and 3/4's of buyers decide to get rid of a depreciating asset? Even if you have plenty of money do you believe the truly wealthy people in this world don't care about all of those things? They live a frugal life ( Warren Buffet ) by most standards with anyone that has that much money. That's how they got to where they did, not buy being ashamed they made a poor investment or lying to try to cover up their own financial loses in regards.
So my advice is stop thinking like it's your favorite sports team and accept the fact that Tesla's are not the gift from god.
