Thoughts about Tesla vehicles?

[Eureka]

Anybody own a Tesla vehicle? I just started working for Tesla and was wondering if people see them around in their area. I myself living right down the road from the plant see them everywhere.

Would you consider buying an S, 3, or X? I understand their expensive but maybe this company is pushing the all electric vehicle forward.

80-100+ hour work weeks expected. Temper tantrums when he doesn’t get his way.

Acts like a child.

Maybe he should get into politics. It works for some people.

Not saying working overboard is remotely a good thing, but if an employee doesn’t like the expectations of their employer then they have every right to leave and find work elsewhere.

Maybe Musk can be an ass, but sometimes the world needs an ass.

You could always switch to Case. Better product and somewhat cheaper.

(The above post is made in jest. My grandfather owned a John Deere dealership and I grew up running Deere equipment. I currently manage a Case/New Holland manufacturing plant and I’m sure my grandfather would rollover in his grave if he knew that.)

Right on. My grandpa and uncle ran the Deere dealership here too once upon a time. But they can get bent as far as I’m concerned. I’m about what makes my farm money.

Dad and I considered going case a few years back because the local manager was a Pioli-level twat. We ended up not though because were 5 miles from Deere and 45 miles from a Case dealer everyone that runs case bitches about. 60 from one that is better.

I’m very close to pulling the trigger on a Model 3. My wife and I both have 3rd row SUVs; this seems to make sense.

By all accounts, they're great cars. I personally thinking that any two-car household should seriously consider an EV unless you have an insane commute. Despite the marketing, EVs still suck a bit for road trips, but using one car for around town while having a ICE car for road trips works fantastically.

Some of you guys might get a kick out of this. Simone Giertz (Queen of Shitty Robots) apparently wanted a truck, but she refuses to buy a gas car. So she bought a Model 3 and turned it into a truck (or perhaps more accurately, a ute).

"Commercial" for it:

As the downside is long trips I’m starting to second guess upgrading to the long range model.

Eh, my Leaf only gets 150 miles per charge, so it's a MAJOR pain for me. It'd be less so in a Model 3 LR. I still generally think it's an inconvenience, but you can make it work.

Price goes up $10k to go from the standard 240 miles to 310 miles.
