Can't wait to see the progress

Tesla is a fad and selling is not an issue

delivering vehicles is an entirely different issue for them.

Tesla have shaken the automotive world ...

From making tailpipe polluting vehicles that impact on our and our childrenā€™s health. For this reason I thank Elon.

Yes!

The bank would not approve a loan for me to buy a Bugatti.

True...

But depending on where you live, the electricity generated to power these cars does produce even worse pollution. Some say they don't care because that pollution is hundreds of miles/kms away from them.

You can produce your own electricity...

Or buy it from a green provider.

Agreed [nt]

Meh. They build electronic toasters for peeps not into driving.

MY OPINION! Good for the environment? Possibly yet debatable long term. As drivers cars these are terrible. Poor build quality, uninspired driving experience besides the acceleration which is only 1 of many driving attributes; and overall more of an appli... 

Out of interest...

Do you own a Tesla ?

Haha no :) I have driven several though...

Was always underwhelmed. They have marketed themselves like how Apple markets a new phone. These arenā€™t cars for motoring enthusiasts; they are cars for people not into cars who want to feel like they possess the ultimate ā€˜anti-carā€™.

Thatā€™s one point of view ...

Another view is that, every non fossil fuel burning car that is bought is good for those of us that want to keep classic cars alive. The world is changing.

Itā€™s inevitable we will all have non-petrol cars..

I agree with you. I just donā€™t think Teslas are interesting or well made or a product that really matters. Will await some that really are made with integrity and passion. Teslas are made with hype rather than substance IMO.

i think most 'car guys' would be OK with not polluting the world.

but at the same time WE WANT enthusiasm and great engineering to be built into the newer options! Tesla is not that option.

The reality is that every traditional car manufacturer...

Has several Teslaā€™s, that they have disassembled and are now trying to copy the technology. Thatā€™s how worried they are.

however unlike Tesla....who only focused on range.

 
 By: everso : October 20th, 2019-16:40
other carmakers actually engineer their cars. Tesla just focuses on what markets well, rather than what drives and holds up well after many years. There was a great article written about the level of detail that goes into german carmakers vs. Tesla. Will ... 

As a Tesla owner I know (as do other owners) the reality....

Of want a great car it really is and not what journalists write. Have a great week.

No offense to you of course...

These are only my opinions!

No offence taken [nt]

Even if all your points were right...

... when you see how much people drive nowadays in big megalopolis, driving Tesla will clean up the air instantly and that wouldn't be bad. I really like how much the force traditional car manufacturer to accelerate the production of electric cars. Withou...
