I think it's more realistic to acknowledge cost constraints than fault a company for not including features of similarly priced vehicles. The realities are that you're complaining about offerings at a certain price point from a company that has only truly existed in the market for 3 years.
As an objective buyer of a car, why should I care about how long Tesla has been in business? Either the car is comparable or not. No excuses. Justifying the lack of features in this way does not appeal to the typical luxury buyer. It appeals to the enthusiast or dare I say again, fanboy.
For the record, this thread about expectations for the X. So I am not complaining about anything. I have expectations for the X, which I believe Tesla will meet, or at least meet many of them and probably surprise me with other features that I did not expect.

Disagree. Plenty of people here are critical of Tesla and they are rarely if ever shouted down. That kind of behavior isn't allowed. Sure, this is an enthusiast site so plenty of people who love their car will argue with someone and try to explain why they enjoy the car so much but that doesn't mean they lack intelligence or any objectivity as the 'fanboy' term implies.
Shouted down - no. Told to cancel their deposit and go away - yes.
