Seemed super fake because of that one lady/superfan. I'm not suggesting the audience was seeded - it's more likely just a few ass kissers in the crowd - but wow, that really just killed any genuine enthusiasm I would have had while watching.
Edit: The enthusiasm seemed fake, not the actual tech being demonstrated, which seems straight-forward.
- mtgx 13y agoMaybe, but I doubt it. Tesla owners and investors seem to be very excited about Tesla - more so than Apple "fanbois" are about Apple new launches, I would say. At the investors' meeting recently, a lot of people seemed very excited there.
- chaz 13y agoLots of Telsa owners at the party, enjoying a free free drink or three before the event. No surprise that they were a bit enthusiastic at seeing a previously unannounced free feature launch.
- InclinedPlane 13y agoI feel sorry for people who seem to live in a world where enthusiasm is alien and unfamiliar.
- softbuilder 13y agoThere's so much fake/forced enthusiasm around many startups that after a while the it's pretty easy to spot. (Example: The person exclaiming "What the...?" at the beginning, when everyone knew what was going to be shown. C'mon.) The really sad thing is people trying to will things to be more exciting than they really are.
- reneherse 13y agoIf anything, I found the cheering contagious: I broke out with a big smile and laughed that there were others who thought this was as welcome and significant a demonstration of technology as I.
