    “Hi, I’d like a coffee please”

    “Sure thing. Here you are sir”

    “this is just hot water”

    “yep but the coffee is definitely coming next year. We are just working out a few kinks. Also careful you don’t burn yourself on that, it’s a little hotter than we planned”

    “but the sign says best coffee in town”

    “and next year it will be, exciting isn’t it? Thank you for shopping at Tesla Coffee”

    Seriously though, any other industry/ceo and it would not have been allowed to happen like this. I’m glad karma is coming back on them.

      High fiber bullet proof butter stem cell coffee with natural grains and whole powders.

      *Some Ingredients coming next year due to regulation difficulties.

      …there, now it’s exciting. We tell investors having unrestricted or cutting edge ingredients that aren’t included yet is part of what makes it appealing to consumers who will pay a premium to be ahead of the others (haha we’re the smart investors who know better), and we can make promises to those consumers about how they’re ahead of the curve. Living in the future, and better than everyone else for having bought our futuristic coffee blend.

      Karma isn’t anywhere near coming for Musk, he got away with it over and over and over again. He still is.

    I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful class action lawsuit, that utterly bankrupts the company and Elon Musk himself.

      Naw, everyone that paid for the feature will get a $10 settlement, nobody will get the entire amount, other than the lawyers.

      The fact that the plaintiff was an attorney and this case was a binding arbitration, my guess is that Tesla requires you to submit to arbitration and wave the right to sue when you buy the car.

      He’s so divested diversified across other projects with significant income that going bankrupt just won’t happen. If his value dropped to millions instead of billions, that would be something. He wouldn’t be able to throw money around as much to cause as much damage as he has.

        “Diversified.”

        “Divested” means kinda the opposite of what you were trying to say.

        Most of his wealth is speculative and relies on brand power, so it that crumbles so does his wealth. He would still be filthy rich due to all the liquid assets he owns.
