- partiallypro 5y agoOr extremely right, considering we now live in a world of walled gardens and user choice and repair-ability has diminished in large part because of Apple. I think he/she means that Tesla, like Apple, has a cult following in which people can't see the company doing any wrong or facing any criticism when it comes to its products or repercussions for what it will do to the industry down the line.
- fossuser 5y agoApple's value went up over 10x from ten years ago. You may not like the result, but many others did and do. The people ten years ago talking about why Apple would fail or why what they made wasn't what people wanted were wrong. Similarly pushing hydrogen as a better option is wrong today.

People committing suicide in their plants? Well people commit suicide everywhere. Nets? Great idea! One of the reasons companies do horrid shit is that we let them.
- Clubber 5y agoI'm an Apple fanboy, but they certainly aren't beyond reproach.
