While I have a historical preference for Ford (30 years of truck/SUV ownership I've been very happy with), I wouldn't have any problem buying a Tesla if I actually liked the product better. I just don't with what they're offering so far. I don't care much for their shapes and rounded-roof styling. I prefer more of an SUV shape.
I don't disagree with that at all.
So far from my experience it's always been improvements. Most impressively, some improvements are driven by requests to Elon. I'm looking forward to the one starting to roll out now that adds some additional control over auto lock (was requested by many on Twitter to have the option to exclude autolock while at home), adds the side repeater cameras to the backup camera view, battery preconditioning on route option for 3rd party charging stations and some additional sentry mode viewer improvements. This will be the 3rd update I've received this month with improvements.
Tesla OTA updates are usually improvements, additions to functionality, additions of Apps functionality. There have been some updates to 'fix' things but in general some functionality is being added.
This. I really hope Ford mirrors Tesla's responsiveness to Buyer feedback. Tesla is so quick to turn around and add features from just someone Tweeting 'Can we get Spotify on the touchscreen' and similar quality of life improvements.
Yes, it's really changed my thinking around cars in general. Previous cars if something didn't work the way I preferred or an option was missing it was "well maybe I can modify it to make it work" or "I hope they get that integrated by the next time I buy a car". Now it's "wonder if they will add that in the next month or two". It's hard to explain but there is an excitement every time the "update available" notification pops up. If Ford can nail that... That's a HUGE step in the right direction.
But Tesla is run by a child, if you think about it. What child doesn’t play with spaceships and wants to visit mars... or builds tunnels for their trains... or had stupid names for their dolls... or pretends they knows how to hit a J, but end up being the laughing stock at school.... or throws tantrums in public when they don’t get their way? Electric Jesus is the biggest baby out there.
Guess Ford is run by a child that likes to play with toy cars!!
To denigrate a highly successful individual as childish with the childish tactic of name calling is a little ironic, don't you think? He clearly needs to be knocked down a peg, and without a doubt Tesla is way overvalued right now. However, he is still responsible for reviving the both the image of EV's and the market for them. I don't like him and feel sorry for those that work for him, but I won't try to diminish his achievements by applying childish labels to him.
I never called Elon a child. However, he does immature things.
