What was it that in 2015 had you doubting them already? The master plan was public at that point. That was the year they released the Model X - a pretty good year for them after some development hell. I definitely thought there was a lot to be excited about back then. Not invested, just excited about their cars and hoping for a model 3 in my near future. I’m fully off the wagon now of course, but they had a LOT of success 2015-2018, when that continued hard with the model 3.
I mean off the rip Tesla’s entire existence is a middle finger to public transport, but tbh I hated them the second they let Elon run around calling himself the founder. It was like a slap to wake me up, and when I got to looking into Elon that was enough for me to doubt it all. Once you realize how much of a dumbass he is, all the “inspirational” quotes come across as the ideas of a 12 year old whose dad doesn’t listen to them.
I love public transit, but even if you ran gold plated buses on five minute schedules that were free to use, people are still going to need and want some cars. And at least Teslas are electric…
But yeah, agreed on Elon. I’ve met too many useless take-credit-for-the-work-of-others management types in my life already. That guy is clearly not someone doing any actual work to create actual products.
I hate to say it but I said the same thing over a decade ago. Never doubt capital’s ability to self-perpetuate, logic or sense be damned.

Sure, but this time the USA isn’t going to last another 10 years.
Ok, so some person on the internet is wrong and so there is no way that he, saying this at a vastly different time, will be right. Got it.
