IDGAF what it looks like.

And I’ve never been a Tesla fan.

Have you ever once said you can't wait until those companies go under?


If it happens, it happens, but realistically a company like GM or Ford isn't going to go under. I'd argue GM in particular needs a major restructuring, though.


My ire with Tesla stems from the fact that 100% of its vehicles sold have that tax credit. What percentage of GM's sales get that same credit?

I'd hate to see what you think of the demand of the other cars below it.

A simple, "No, I've only said that about Tesla" would have sufficed.

ok, so your argument has changed from its original state, but my point still stands.

Also, your ire is misdirected. It should be with the government. It's not really logical to point all that vitriol at Tesla, if you really think about it.

Why is that a solid point. I have never in my life gotten water near the motor of my truck while launching a boat. Your truck has a battery. This truck has a battery.

IF the specs are legit I would love to have an electric truck. Electric motors are a lot more dependable than gasoline motors and this sucker would have torque for days!!!

Plenty of reason to NOT want one but launching a boat isn't one of them. Battery cost and life is about the only issue that brings up issues.

I was too busy laughing at his melt so I didn't notice this the 1st go round, but it's like this dude is trying to be wrong as much as possible, caught this the 2nd time I saw it:

It's good for them though some they lose money on every car they sell lol

In addition to you saying the best selling car in its class for 2019 Q1 has "no demand" this is also 100% false.. Tesla does not lose money on every car they sell, nor do they lose money on every Model 3 they sell.

Well you're obviously smart enough to have deduced the answer before you even asked the unnecessary question. I simply provided you the reason why.

It has not, but you seem to take umbrage with my stance, which is a you issue, not a me issue.

I absolutely direct some of that to the Gov't as well, my point regarding Tesla stands. It exists solely in a niche market based largely off Gov't tax credits.

You sure do seem agitated with my stance. Are you a Tesla driver?
