But having had some unreliable cars (classic ones) myself, somehow there is always the worry that your fantastic trip will be interrupted by problems. And honestly that just ruined the whole experience for me. But somehow, if I see this picture, I forget all these worries πŸ˜‰, Dirk

In that the testing was done by the paying customers 😁 But much more appealing both visually and viscerally πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Are Tesla done testing by paying customers? Perhaps they are still hiring naysayers for their customer services. Huge credit for opening up the EV market (I don`t like EV`s), but I saw what my colleague had delivered and the only thing impressive with that was zero tax and free charging

As customers seem to accept it. The past tense was in relation to Aston Martin 😊 Getting back to Tesla, there’s many impressive things from an automotive industry perspective but the end product is still flawed. Sadly they got their timing just right and many brands following in their footsteps will likely fail even with a superior product πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Agree... Believe the door is closing for EV`s for now, and I suspect more than a few happy owner of cars from new brands will face Fisker issues.... Parts and updates for a car no longer in production. Short production series will cause trouble too, far more expensive to keep a stock of spare parts with relatively few cars on the road. Might be easier to keep the pretty AM running in a few years from now, and cheaper too
