I'll point the insults, etc out for you.

I find it difficult to take somebody serious who is citing the opportunity cost of $50,000 over a few years worth of investment....
That's insulting to assume someone isn't serious because you disagree with their opinion. I would take someone serious who was thoughtful on how to deploy 50,000 of their hard earned money.

Ohh... I see now. You didn't realize you were putting a deposit on something that wasn't yet created from a company with a track record of delays. Got it. It super sucks that Tesla forced you to make such a decision and took advantage of your lack of knowledge on money related topics.
Insulting, patronizing and antagonizing. Tesla didn't force me, or anyone else, to put a deposit on the car. It was clearly a willful decision by any who did so. Then you insult me further when you say, "...took advantage of your lack of knowledge on money related topics."
I wasn't taken advantage because I didn't apply the deposit. Also you are insulting my intelligence, kind of just period, but at least specifically as it relates to money management.
Then at the end of the same post your wrote:
I think I'll stick with my 4-year-old cars that someone else has taken that hit on and sell them for a profit.
This way we know how smart your are after insulting my intelligence earlier in the post.

"However, as someone who’s been managing funds for over 30 years I always consider returns."
You wrote in response:
"...but hey, I'm not a fancy fund manager like you so what do I know about finances?"
Did I use any words like fancy? Just staying that my 30 years of practice at something causes me to think about things a certain way. It's providing context. I see no grand claims associated with my statement, you added that. I'd rate this as antagonizing at best.

"Meanwhile, I'm over here looking at that on the front end like "I'll be damned if I'm going to give
anyone a $50k interest free loan for
any reason,"
Looking at what? I didn't get righteous in my portrayal. I simply stated that it's not a smart financial move to provide an interest free loan. I am carefully weighing the outlay of 50,000 bucks. Yes I don't give interest free loans to for profit entities. Friend or family member, different story. Antagonizing.

"These bots sure are getting good at stirring an empty pot these days."
Insulting.
I wasn't projecting when I said these posts came across as angry. Actually, assuming you were angry was wrong on my part and I take it back. I feel as though you were attacking and antagonizing me and I'll leave it that. Writing makes it hard to read intent, so you are correct, I do not know the context under which you were posting. I retract the angry statements. However, if after reading this you don't see how someone could insulted then I guess we just see things very differently and you know what?
cinema hd That's ok.
More than happy to understand the items that I wrote that may have insulted you and reconsider them.
