Who me?
Oh, itâs only internet-level fodder
But at internet level? Honestly?
I just kind of have a thing against intellectually dishonest xwitter minor-influenzas who knowingly propagate falsities and half-truths in order to lick the boot of popularity, and a few xwitter-shillings.
Of...
oh hey, I get it!
with my business executive hat on, I slow clap for Tesla corporate.
but with my consumer hat on, Iâm left marveling at how many other consumers donât seem to mind the hypocrisy!
but separately, lower than marveling, who I *really* donât get are the consumers who are out...
yep, because Tesla makes so much off of you on each car they sell, that thereâs no need - customers just line up to give Tesla much more net margin on each vehicle than elsewhere, wirhout even questioning if itâs a good thing! Teslaâs told them it is, must be true!
Obviously the overall...
Only because mental masturbation like this is what weâre reduced to absent Tesla tuning back in its VIN data stream, or otherwise stopping prioritizing influencer-weighted promotions and sales tacticsâŠ
Yes, I understand the trope that âmost buyers don't like the car dealership experience.â...
which to me goes to show the intent of this program
Tesla knows there will be some blow-back to this program from existing orders and people with lower arms who still havenât been invited to even config
so what does Tesla view as the upside that outweighs this blowback?
Seems to me itâs...
oh they definitely are
Theyâve built very few beasts to date, and there are many people with beast configs before yesterday - who were getting EDDs of âmid to late 2024â
someone who configured a Beast tomorrow with an EDD OF 45 days is getting it sooner ?
I donât think itâs a âhiddenâ scheme
And I wasnât taking as sufficient the existence of wraps alone.
Instead, Tesla offering both wraps and ceramic coatings is I think sufficient implicit acknowledgement by Tesla that there will be sufficient numbers of customers concerned about the aesthetic...
itâs like you didnât read my post
meanwhile, these rail dust spots arenât the whole of the discussion
you think Tesla is offering ceramic coatings and wraps merely for sport?
itâs like some of yâall donât even listen to what Tesla is implicitly acknowledging: while the truck isnât ârusting...
Meaning, youâre assuming they built every VIN between 1470 and 2212
which you know good and well, having followed/drafted this forumâs VIN tracking thread, is a tenuous assumption to assert with the bluster of âdo the mathâ
you have no idea, at the end of the day, how many VIN gaps are between...
I don't think they state/show in the TH review, but there are plenty of independent 1/4mi times for the 911 Turbo S
all of them have the S clocking a top speed in the 1/4mi between 132 and 137 mph
which makes sense in the context of the TH review - naturally, the CT was way out in front early...
yeah, thanks
the suggestion was thereâs some reliable and widely known data to that point
which Iâd find more interesting than assertions that canât on their face be distinguished from urban legend
And point of clarification: âmostâ people canât hate it, bc few people have the luxury of...
you canât be serious to suggest that either of these were some strategic market ploy
the window cracked because the demanding work
the plaid was speed limited because it wasnât safe/capable of 200mph prior to software and hardware upgrades that didnât come out until later
look, this guy...
youâre just claiming this, then moving on to celebrate the naked assertion
meanwhile, you similarly claim that in contrast Teslaâs model doesnât suffer this same critique
all and only that Iâve said in this thread, is that Iâm dubious of both naked assertions, equally, given the range...
