I noticed that you still do have craving for old foods, because you remember how good you felt when ate them. However if you slip and try pizza it does disappoint you - it doesn't taste as good as you remember it.

Is this (and battery gigafactory) how Tesla will continue to own electrical car market? AFAIK only Tesla cars can use Tesla chargers. Why would you buy other company's electric car if you can only charge it at home? Good for Tesla. Bad
