Is he another Tesla fanboi whose feelings were hurt by someone not sharing his Elon worship?

I made it a bit more than 30 seconds but not much. Agree on the droning monotone.

Seems like what he doesn't get is that one of the reasons Tesla has been successful so far is that they sell both green and performance in a good looking package. I'm glad that he wants people to buy green cars. But a large audience out there doesn't really care about the environment. But they do care about performance. I'd rather win hearts that way. If Tesla sold nothing but a boring electric Prius-ish commuter car, they would have failed by now.

I agree.

Overall I really like the model 3. I can't quite bring myself to buy one but I really like them and I hope Tesla can figure out how to make money.

Yep. Plus he seems to miss the point that it was actually a positive review. Instead he drones on about 1 minor comment where the presenter mentions something about being sad to see the possible demise of IC engines

Totally agree. Just like ugly green houses. That’s not enough. They still need to be lovable, and livable homes.

That’s revolting.

Matt, did you ever get your spoiler? I saw one on a car parked downtown and it’s actually a nice touch.

They gave me the badge finally but I didn’t have them put it on.

No spoiler yet. I emailed them a week ago and they said they're still working on it. Be patient please.

I've been assuming that I'm going to sell it. I don't need a carbon fiber spoiler. But maybe I'll see how it looks before deciding.

I was thinking if putting the "Dual Motor" badge on the Colorado just to confuse people.

I didn't receive the charger I get for having two random referrals either.
