I think people should stop demanding things that we didn’t pay for.
For those of you not paying attention, Tesla isn’t exactly the most healthy of companies. It’s in an extremely risky phase of growth where they are trying to balance rampup, decreasing demand, and margins.
I’ve struggled to think of another customer base that feels entitled to more capability than they purchased. Smart phones are the closest.
Yet, we still expect them to meet all the traditional expectations of legacy car manufacturers. I say that this is an impossible equation for them to solve. Something will need to give.
There have been many innovative car companies go out of business in the last 100 years...I really hope Tesla isn’t the next.
I would offer we have an important role in that. Something to think about the next time you think Tesla owes you something.
