> extreme emotional reaction to Tesla these days?
It's the reaction for facts and Musk giving predictions that are off by a magnitude constantly.
Remember that Tesla was supposed to produce 20,000 units per week by the end of 2017, then 10,000, then 5000, then 2500 by end of March. It fall below the latest goal by 20%. When Musk hypes up the product for the customers, that's a good thing. When he hypes up for investors, they lose confidence and interest rate for capital will increase.
>Now they're tracking to 100,000 or more in just in the second half of the year.
Why would we trust this claim from Musk? If we assume that Musk is consistent in his messaging, we must downgrade his claims by order of magnitude. He has constantly claimed that Tesla is on track and failed to deliver.
>They build shit cars.
Tesla's are arguably very shitty cars with lots of details just plain wrong, but they are super nice to drive. This is typical for high performance luxury cars. They can spend time in repair shop because people love to drive them and they can afford the cost.
Model 3 is completely different animal. Tesla has invested so much for the production like that they can't back up to low volume manufacturing. They must produce Model 3 in large volumes or ROI will drop like a stone.
