As both a Tesla customer and a long-time Apple customer, there’s a massive difference in the experience.

Steve Jobs never tried to make me pay $8,000 extra for a feature that doesn’t exist yet but is just around the corner and will be totally amazing. Elon Musk convinced me to hand over that money, and five years later the feature still does nothing.

Jobs fundamentally wasn’t a liar. When I bought Mac OS X 10.0, it was rough and slow, but it did what was advertised and I was excited to remain an Apple customer to see this platform evolve. Musk sold me a steaming pile of vaporware, making me feel stupid rather than excited, and I don’t want to remain a Tesla customer.

The PR turnaround for Tesla on HN is incredible. Shows how effective peer pressure from journalists is.

You sure that's the reason?

I think it’s a big one. They are always in tune.
