It's hard to imagine someone stating these things seriously. So well built? Go to the Tesla Forums; buyers are being recommended to bring a checklist of defects to look for before you agree to take ownership, and are routinely rejecting delivery. That is unfathomable in the auto industry, unless you're talking about Soviet Russia. "Improving"? Maybe. But "so well built"? That's a stretch. But don't take my word for it, go and see for yourself.
And profitable? By what metric? Again; maybe. That is their intention, but there is zero evidence of that, and in fact evidence to the contrary.
It constantly amazes me how Tesla fans seem so oblivious to the realities of the struggles the company is facing. Yes, the EV revolution is coming, but there is no guarantee Tesla will lead the way.
>Also, it's fun to drive next to a Viper and throw shade.
Oh, you mean the Viper, that is a full second faster than Performance Model 3 0-60, brakes 50% faster 60-0 and runs the quarter mile 2 seconds faster? What shade are you throwing, exactly?
- davidgould 8y ago> Viper, that is a full second faster than Performance Model 3 0-60 According to [0] the Viper is pretty much dead even with the Model 3 Performance. Where did you find "a full second"? Also, please provide a source for the "brakes 50% faster 60-0" as this is difficult to believe.
