For CR, I wonder for how many people the Model 3 was the most expensive car they have ever purchased and thus raised their internal bar for flaw tolerance.

There needs to be a scorecard online that shows all the Chanos short thesis “sky is falling” narratives over the years and how they played out.
Volt concept appealed to people who like American muscle cars, I guess.Lots of changes, sure, but I am not sure I would prefer the concept vs the production one in this case.
Mission-E vs Trashcan (sp?) is very clear drop of visual appeal, while the Volt concept looked kinda weird...
One of the worst concept to production changes was the Volt.
Elon tweeted
“Advanced, reusable rockets are all we need to become a multiplanet civilization. Once we have a city on Mars, interplanetary travel will create a forcing function for vast improvements in spaceflight.”
Equally true
Compelling electric cars are all we need to become a sustainable energy civilisation. Once we have a critical mass of electric cars, fierce competition will create a forcing function for vast improvements in battery and storage technology.
Elon Musk is 'almost unethical,' says outgoing AutoNation CEO — CNBC
Coming from a used car salesman? Ok. Funny. How low can CNBC go? Looks like Tesla has taken their business and he’s sad about. First they laugh and poke fun, then as they lose business and get disrupted, they throw insults. Classy.
Oh yes, when I want to get character certificates, the first ones I think about are car dealers.Elon Musk is ‘almost unethical,’ says the outgoing CEO of the largest US auto dealer chain
AutoNation shares sank 6 percent in early trading Friday. Tesla’s stock was up 1.2 percent.
Hilarious that a car dealership guy would accuse anyone of being unethical.

Amazingly flat trading day. Good that it's an up amazingly-flat-trading day, but still... amazingly flat.
To be honest, I likely was drooling mostly over the concept at the time of a purely serial hybrid. I thought the styling was nice, mostly from a retro-futue look. I'm a sucker for future world at Walt Disney World and cheesy things like that, and to me the sides and rear had that "future" look to them. Somewhat like how Elon is making the new Starship hopper look like some 1950's sci-fi rocket. I LOVE it, it calls upon that childhood wonder. *shrugs*I... don’t get it. The concept looked like a weird submarine...
