I was working for a tier-1 supplier in Detroit when Tesla announced their first car that wasn’t the lotus body, a vp at a supplier laughed and said “they’re about to find out how hard it is to build cars”. This guy knew cars and every time I hear someone with negative feedback on Tesla’s I think about that.

I’ve heard more people describe it as “a computer with wheels” than I can remember.

Yep. This.

I’m even more sharp with the description. It’s a no brand android tablet with wheels.

My Citroen feels better put together and it’s made of cooking foil.

To be fair Citroen has made a lot of innovation from cooking foil!

Oh yes indeed. It’s cheap, safe, reliable and runs on mosquito fart quantities of gas.
