I think they should buy this company [0] and sell the vehicle at cost (temporarily) to capture the lowest end of the market, too. [Only half kidding, I was sad to see this happen and couldn't find anywhere else to post about it in my limited free time.]

- wilg 7y agoHow profoundly silly!
- taneq 7y agoTesla's entire schtick is that they sell good cars that happen to be electric, instead of the deliberately wacky science project offerings that most companies try to sell. Those things basically look like a rehash of the Twike, which has been around since the 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twike
- leoh 7y agoSure, but if you could convince people to drive around in wacky science project offerings, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper, better for the environment, safer, and healthier.
- taneq 7y agoI'm not sure it'd be any of those things, apart from 'better for the environment'. The definition of 'good car' is largely defined by value for money, safety and healthiness for the occupants.
