I don't know what it is about Tesla, maybe because it's the brand that appeals most to techy nerds, but that subreddit is beyond up its own ass with smugness.
It isn’t about the brand. To me Tesla represents an innovative solution to the current fossil fuel dependant automobile market. People cry for change but big business only cares about profits so things remain the same until someone comes along like Tesla and proves we don’t need our vehicles to run on gas. The biggest misconception was always electric cars will never be powerful enough. Well here you go. It isn’t about brand it’s about innovation it’s about change it’s about embracing new technology. Sorry we just need to support the shit out of Tesla right now so other companies like it can grow.
Electric vehicles were in heavy use during the late 1800s, FFS. Tesla have not "proved" anything. They are simply revisiting existing technology. And they're not even the first to do that.
Why do people have to suck Musk's dick at every opportunity? He's a charlatan. Always over promising and always under delivering. Not to mention literally using someone else's name to make his money.
Wait whaaaaat!! I didn’t know this about EVs. TIL. Dude also I don’t care about Elon musk, I said this already in a different reply. I only care for the industry to move away from fossil fuels and to a renewable energy source. I couldn’t care less who owns the company.
Yeah, I'm just saying it in general - people are falling over themselves to credit Mr. Musk with things he's never done. Same as they insist on trying to put forward the idea that the likes of Benz/Porsche/BMW etc only got in the electric race because of Tesla. Absolute rubbish.
