This thread is already essentially 100% Tesla marketing, both for the cars and for the stock, but maybe you'll read this comment and acknowledge there's nothing false in it. Thanks in advance to the Tesla cult for the downvotes!

> Every time I get a software update I'm a kid on Christmas morning. It is just such a fun experience, and for those of you who love to be on the bleeding edge, you'd probably love it too.
Same! I too get giddily excited when my $100,000 car gets software updates from an $80B company that can't design batteries properly and has to remotely reduce their capacities by 30% and charge rates by 40% (without my permission!) to prevent the car from catching on fire in my garage! [1] /s
It's so encouraging to see my self-driving car get frequent half-baked updates making it drive into highway barriers and firetrucks [2] and ping-pong between lane lines like a drunk driver! [3] /s
I just wish Apple could do the same downgrade to my phone's CPU and battery performance whenever they feel like it! It'd bring tears to my eyes, in awe of their power over me. /s
- aguyfromnb 7y ago>Thanks in advance to the Tesla cult for the downvotes! In one of the (many) depositions, it was revealed that Tesla has some serious PR firms on retainer to control narrative. You can see on Twitter bot networks of accounts tweeting the exact same message. Tesla understands modern marketing.
- xvector 7y agoYes, Tesla has not been a paragon of good. I never claimed or excused this. I am specifically talking about my experience with the Model 3. I have enjoyed my time with it and I’ve enjoyed my updates. It’s been great fun. That’s all.
