I'm going to go the other way on this. I like this idea, but I can see it's not for everyone. I like to do some Javascript coding with my son on his Chromebook, and having a development environment is a hard problem for us to sol

Whether you like it or hate it, you have to take your hat off to the Tesla marketing department. This thing is a meme on wheels. _Everyone_ is going to see this, have an opinion on it, and want to know what everyone else's opinion on
