You fanboys' response to this is so laughable and such a good example that there truly is less and less a difference between this community and reddit with each passing day. So Musk makes rockets that go into outer space, is it so unfathomable that he might also make a shitty car?
- jlgreco 14y agoFor values of "shitty" that include "runs out of power when it runs out of power"? By all reasonable accounts it is a very nice car. What this is all about is allegations of dishonest journalism and bad PR. Who exactly is saying the car is shit?
- tedunangst 14y agoAre the accounts reasonable because they say it's a very nice car or is it a very nice car because reasonable accounts say so?
- jlgreco 14y agoIt is a very nice car because reasonable accounts have said so. The limitations of the battery technology, primarily the long time to charge, are acknowledged by everybody as far as I can tell, and emphasized by most. Most reviewers have nevertheless not found the car to be "shit" because of that. Hell, not even Top Gear called the Roadster shit (and I, unlike Musk, would classify the Top Gear review of the Roadster as "reasonable").

- saraid216 14y agoFrom HN Guidelines: > If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)
- jcroll 14y agoJust b/c the account is new doesn't mean I haven't been reading HN for a much longer than that. I'd argue it's a semi noob illusion to assume otherwise :)
