But though I rarely seem to disagree with you, I think there are cases where people aren’t looking for what I’m looking for in a car. Plenty of people bought that i3, and while I can’t fathom the shape or tires or acceleration, I know from driving with my wife that not everyone appreciates driving in the same manner that I do. SOME of them must have had a decent reason. Like the example just above.
It’s just our job to make ABSOLUTELY SURE they have a good reason to pick those second-class vehicles.
That is a negative ghost rider on the i3.
It is a cockroach on wheels.
It looks like it is giving birth to another car in the back.
It will be a holy terror to dump on the secondary market.
It’s a death trap for serious collisions.
The Bolt (as in Usain Bolt) can outrun it.
I admit I state things very brashly and very hubrisy because it’s all in fun and sparks spirited conversations.
There are truly people that don’t really “get” the whole Tesla thing and I understand that.
My wife is one of those people. She’s not impressed at all about the 3P and hates it when I floor it.
Fart mode, Teslatari - zero f given
Over the air updates, FSD - zero f given
Kids on the other hand..
Volt lease is ending soon and she wanted another one. She did NOT want a Model 3.
I tried to honor the request but then when I calculated that we could get a Model 3 for $250 per month after selling it in two years and going into a Y, I knew what I had to do.
I HAD to buy the Model 3 despite her objections and force her into the choice.
I just bought it without telling her. Happy birthday babe. Enjoy the best car on the planet for 35K.
Hope you never get into a car accident with our kids but if you do, I know you have one of the safest sedans ever made.
(She likes it and begrudgingly admits its better than the Volt)
