Coinbase and a number of other Bitcoin startups launched on HN. HN was very much pro-crypto for the first few years, until reality set it.
HN used to be hugely pro-Tesla. You wouldn't go a day without seeing a pro-Tesla fluff piece. And that changed too, when reality set in and people realized that Tesla cars are poorly built compared to all of their domestic competitors, and after Musk repeatedly over-promised and under-delivered.
- trixie_ 5y agoI guess you’ll be waiting a long time for reality to set in as Tesla’s sales haven’t shown any hint of slowing down. Underdelivering is a funny way to say there is too much demand to keep up.
- gamblor956 5y agoI won't have to wait long at all. Tesla's sales in the U.S. and Europe have been slowing. Most of their growth is now in the Chinese market. Between the FSD problems, the joke that is Cybertruck, and Elon Musk, Tesla's been doing a great job of turning away potential customers who are now looking at anything but Tesla.
