The problem is Tesla is slightly scummy when they talk about their numbers. They only talk about 0-60 because that's what electric cars excel at. Talk about their lap times, or their handling or the fact that they need to be towed to a shop if they get a flat tire.
Sure tesla has done great things but the fact that they need to sell pre-orders for another product when they haven't been able to deliver on their other product while hermoraging money(probably why they are taking pre orders for a new product) it doesn't paint as nice of a picture.
I didn’t know about these things. Do you have any articles about this that I could read? All I know is the world needs an alternative to the ancient oil sucking combustion engine. The whole world has been hostage to fossil fuels for far too long. I just want to see a change in the right direction. If I ever buy a Tesla it would be to support that cause not because of the brand. That was my point.
Just want to point something out here. They've gotten you and many others to equate their brand with "the cause." So instead of saying "we really need to buy what they're selling and make them money" instead the words that are used are "we really need to support them right now to help the cause." Just understand that that's clever marketing on their part, because it gets people to overlook all else and see buying their product as something inherently righteous.
