Do I get any kind of points for thinking Tesla sucked before all the political windshift relating to Musk?

I've said from jumpstreet that, at best, Tesla is like the Apple of the car world:

  • Model releases considered "cool" for the first year or so, because it's a way to flex on the plebs.

  • Pretty soon everybody and their mom has one and the design isn't very remarkable in and of itself. Therefore the iPhone becomes the basic bitch phone, and the Tesla becomes the basic bitch vehicle.

  • Overpriced relative to similar performing products.

  • Horribly invasive sensors, bad data privacy, and generalized ecosystem.

I test drove a couple of Teslas way back in the day. You know what the big selling point was? The "Easter egg" that shows the surface of Mars on the GPS. Oh, and the James Bond Lotus one. It was at that point that I realized this was not a serious company, and it was run by a dork ass 4Chan edgelord.
