    What I don’t understand is why people voluntarily involve themselves with his shitty personality. At least with his employees you know why, they’re getting paid. But Tesla customers are paying him.

        many were preordered yes, why you’d do that is beyond me. I like that tech lady who bought a model 3 and refit it into a truck

          Rivian has had a fully functional, and well regarded electric truck on the roads for years now, and they start at $50k less than the Tesla. Why go with Tesla at all? I guess if you want a truck that looks like John Delorian designed it during a cocaine binge, and left all the cool parts on the design room floor, then a Tesla is a good choice.

            Honestly I really like the design. Apparently it’s pretty good aerodynamics-wise, and I enjoy stainless steel as a body material. Same reason I really like the DeLorean or N-Vision 74

              I think it’s ugly as balls. But then some people like the look of balls, and I respect individual preference. Life would be a lot more boring if we all liked the exact same things.

              On the other hand Elon is piece of shit.

              Maybe buy the DeLoean and spend the extra $90k on a working Flux Capacitor?

              The construction they had to do to achieve the look is completely fucked up, though. It’s awful in collisions and will be extremely expensive or impossible to repair.
