Expectations vs. Reality

After many months of frenzied anticipation: Tesla Motors has released a breathtaking revolutionary piece of technological achievement. Truly an amazing feat of human ingenuity, who could have possibly predicted an interior so functional, so beautiful, so futuristic? Marvel at the interior of the Model 3! Unbelievable. Elon you’ve truly outdone yourself this time good sir! It looks.. how could I possibly put this into words.. it looks.. it looks….

Well, It looks rather like a soviet-era Trabant with an iPad Pro awkwardly propped up in the middle of the dashboard.

Oh man.. Disaster..
Nearly every useful feature one would want from a dashboard has been relegated to an inconvenient, even dangerous menu-diving touch-screen.

Nothing I love more than driving around at night with an obnoxiously bright & distracting screen in my line of sight!

This is one ugly disappointment! Don’t get me wrong, maybe the sharp edged/iPad/Soviet-Russian aesthetic is your thing & you are itching to hop on the wait-list to get one of these mean machines by the end of next year. Unfortunately, the ‘mass-market, affordable’ marketing ploy was just that.. In classic traditional automaker fashion, if you are looking to upgrade to a desirable car, it’s going to cost you a lot more. By the time you’re fully optioned this turnip is going to be pushing $50k

Tesla Model 3: Single-handedly saving the world!
Well at least until real car manufacturers flood the market..

I could go on-and-on about Tesla, story-stocks, irrational exuberance, valuations, etc, etc.. But I’ll just let the market sort this one out.
​
For now, let's all consider the parable of the Tesla Model 3 as an apropos example of: Expectations vs. Reality

Sick Tesla Bro!
