HN appears to have true love for any story surrounding Tesla.
- lutusp 13y ago> HN appears to have true love for any story surrounding Tesla. That might have more to do with the fact that the Tesla is largely software-driven than that it's relevant to HN's readers as Tesla owners. Also, it's a model for a future environmentally friendly car. I say it that way because driving a Tesla using present-day coal-generated electricity isn't a huge improvement from an environmental perspective, but a future power grid that's more reliant on wind, solar and nuclear, greatly changes an electric car's environmental impact.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoI think it's because its a revolutionary auto maker that iterates like a software startup. They innovate like we want to innovate.
- lutusp 13y agoYes, that sounds likely too.
- pkulak 13y agoProbably not many. But everyone who doesn't have one wants one!
- mikecarlton 13y agoSure, HN is full of early adopters, so why not cars? Here in silicon valley, you see them all over the place. We just picked up our second -- my wife got her 40kwh model last year. It's a big investment, but we've kept all of our cars 10 years (except for the Leaf's they replaced :)
