There was a time I wanted a Tesla, but I don't anymore. This is just another reason why.

Does Tesla care about making a "neat thing" or do they care about making "a car that can drive me places". The doors clearly show they prioritize making a "neat thing", but I want a reliable car.

Opening and closing doors was a solved problem. Somehow Tesla made it worse.

Neither. Care about making money.

One thing about Musk, I think he does care more about making a thing. Money is involved; but mostly because it's necessary to make the thing.

It's just that the things he wants to make are increasingly stupid and childish.

I think at this point Tesla is more about stockholders than it is Musk.

Boy you would think that, but it is clearly not the case. At least not primarily.

Although it's definitely more of a factor than his other companies.

Same, but cars in general now. I used to look forward to driving, but now I'm sick of it. Biking and ebikes have made going places fun again :)
