You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.

The fan base is the next reason. Anything that has rabid fans like Tesla is going to bring in hate whether it's the Dallas cowboys or Apple. Except Tesla doesn't come close to delivering what they claim.
And lastly...youve got a company with a market value almost as high as GM, but with only 4% of their revenue. They've never been a profitable company. But that rabid fan base is just obnoxious about it...especially anytime Musk introduces a new product that will be delivered late and unprofitable. It's unsustainable and there is nothing wrong with speaking negatively about a bubble like this.

I don't get the hate on tax credits either. Forget electric cars, have them expand $7500 tax credits to all kinds of things. Anything that takes money out of the hands of the absurdly, obscenely wasteful government is a good thing in my book. They need to learn to do more on a lot less. Unless they've been raising taxes somewhere else to cover this minor loss. And I'd need to see evidence that they raised it specifically to cover this loss, as raising taxes is something they'd do anyway.WH

We've all done. We've all made a purchase on an overhyped item just to be let down. Cabbage head doll, tickle me Elmo, any Nintendo, fallout 3, the 96 Mustang GT, why do it again?
I bought a 97 Cobra new. It delivered on some of the hype, but it had a 4x4 suspension, a shitty shifter, cost way too much and was a lot slower than a 98 f car.
If I'm going to spend that kind of money and go crazy at the Nurburgring, a Tesla won't make my top 10.

Learn to love the hybrid. The ICE cant be the torque of electric except at top speed (for now)
