Slight tangent, but I've noticed there are two types of Tesla fans. They intersect somewhat, but also have big areas of disagreement.

The first are car enthusiasts. They like the cars Tesla is producing.

The second are robotaxi/FSD evangelists. They want Tesla to spearhead the movement of ultimately eliminating (or significantly reducing) car ownership in favor of the robotaxi network. In fact, some of them even want Tesla to stop selling cars to the general public in favor of retaining them for the robotaxi fleet.
