Please make a dumb car

Pretty much everyone who clogged up the left lane in the '00s in their Prius is still doing the same thing today but in a Tacoma or 4Runner. The specific model of blind adoration may have changed but the fanboys still line the same pockets. If that is any indication Tesla will do just fine.

Toyota are doing fine because of their reliability. Can the same be said about Tesla?

Toyota has a brand image and they design, market and sell to that image.

Tesla has established a brand image based around a different set of attributes and they design, market and sell to it.

I like that. It will be interesting to see how sustainable their brand image is in future given those attributes.
