They’re dreadful things. Mainly I object to them because they don’t have a V8 under the bonnet. Real cars need a V8 or a V12. I’ll accept a straight 6.

Imagine doing the 580 when he could have done the coast road.

The pacific coast is wasted on them...

To be fair I haven’t seen the steady stream of pro-Tesla posts on LinkedIn recently.

Maybe he disconnected me :cloud9:

Ears was bragging on LinkedIn how a bug in their software was easily distributed to all cars globally using the internet.

Which is fine, but ignores the fact that software issues are a tiny part of their problems. Physical issues required parts shipped from the US of A and could take months. There were pictures of lots full of broken down Tesla’s waiting for parts that still hadn’t been delivered. :hehe:

Yes, its really been quite a rough ride for those of us who bought some shares whilst the rest of you were moaning about panel gaps and poor paintwork...

To understand Tesla, you have to understand they are not a car maufacturer at all, really. I mean, of course they make some cars, but the value in the business lays elsewhere.

That’s a fair point, but we weren’t talking about their business, we were talking about their cars. :shrug:

Good point. And although Ears owns both the car and the stock, I think it is the stock he cars about and is more passionate about.

What about a roof that doesn't fall off into the road behind the car, will you accept that?

[AFC East]

Indeed. Odd post Marav.

I’m amazingly impressed about how rich you guys are. Amazingly.

Some of the best cars I’ve owned have been prone to bits dropping off. Triumph TR6, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Ferrari 308 GTB, Aston Vantage. Magnificent cars with a propensity to stop working... but they all growled, snarled and grunted.

Never really been my thing cars. Too busy buying houses for the ex to afford cars.

Although the tr6 was a lovely thing. Modern cars are amazingly reliable. They’re all Japanese now it seems.

I might consider to purchase a new car once* this coronavirus nonsense f's off.

especially with this Ulez extenstion.

TR7 was better - although probably not reliable :littlemozart:

Though who knows.
