Let me guess, you have never driven a Tesla, have you?
- legolas2412 8y agoLet me guess, if you had a BMW with similar interior, and similar production quality, you won't be a fan of it? Tesla fandom is based on futurism. Take regular driver assistance, call it autonomous self driving driverless cars and make a cult of personality around Elon musk. If BMW sold substandard cars at a higher price than comparative cars, and had fanboys buying it, and yet be rewarded by the stock market for making losses, BMW would be making Model S/X all year long.

- abc_lisper 8y agoI heard this defense before. It's the same as saying Mac is just a computer and iPhone is just a phone.
- Fins 8y ago"Defense" seems to be a strange choice of word here. And seriously, iPhone isn't just a phone, seriously?
- abc_lisper 8y agoYeah, defense as in defending an argument. > And seriously, iPhone isn't just a phone, seriously? Not sure how old you are, but if you want just a phone look at feature phones, seriously ;)
- Fins 8y agoCertainly older than Tesla. Or Apple, for that matter. By the way, any feature phone is much better than iPhone as... a phone, you know, to call people and stuff. Even as smartphones Apple products aren't unicorn magic. Neither are Teslas. Riding in one, they can barely compete with a mid-range Hyundai.
- abc_lisper 8y ago> Even as smartphones Apple products aren't unicorn magic There is no electronics product in history that sold more than the iPhone. I don't know what meets your high standards.
- Fins 8y agoBy that logic, McDonald's burgers are so magic, Jobs would have dropped his reality distortion field and ran home crying. And Osteria Franciscana must be selling complete crap because they will never achieve sales not only of McD but even of White Castle!
- abc_lisper 8y ago> By that logic, McDonald's burgers are so magic, Not really, burgers are not electronic products.
- Fins 8y agoBut they are selling very well! If you want something computer-related, Windows is clearly the greatest, bestest OS of all times. Electronics? Bose must sound really well. Etc., etc.
- abc_lisper 8y agoCome on, that is not what I mean. Is there anything you like and appreciate?
