Praise the Lord Tesla

Sorry folks for having toe-topped some of you by naming a painted pony a painted pony.

I thought a cultivated blog is per definition to exchange views, opinions, critics and the like.

Now I know better - thank you - this is a cathedral of true worship were the few chosen one, believers, praise in ongoing never-ending sermons the infinite wisdom of the high-priest Musk.

Praying blindfolded, untouched from harsh reality and the real world in full trust in the unknowable, with true unchangeable devotion in common sing-sang Kumbayaaaahhh

Hoping for the first & second (White star) coming of the one and only true messiahs - a drivable EV from Tesla - the only reliever from all pain in this universe.

All, even constructive criticism at Tesla is at teslamotorsclub by definition heresy to the lord and therefore not only unwanted but belongs straight to the devil.

Aha.

I thought, after having passed the dark middle ages this is the 21 century - the clock rang and suddenly I woke up by your respond.

in the 14 century.

Thanks for reminding me -

"good night and good luck"

Please accept my honest :-)
apology - I shall never fail again - or so...

It is fine for you to express your opinion. You just need to do it in a way that doesn't hijack threads.

Moderator's note:
This thread has that whole "stream of consciousness" thing going on about it. So much so that it defies classification. It may be able to be split up some more, but I've done all I can at the moment. So for now, this is where it sits.

Yeah it was until the company took their ball and went home.

Just to be clear, I didn't delete or edit any posts. I split posts into two in some cases where the first part was on topic and the second part was responding to the chaos.

What's in this current thread came from Fareed Zakaria interviews Elon and New EVP, and clearly has nothing to do with either of those topics.
Parts that I could make sense out of went to Tesla Roadster vs. Venturi Fetish, Vestigial Tachometer, and some other places I can't remember now.

Again, it could probably be split up some more, but after spending about an hour on it yesterday, I ran out of energy. If you can think of a more appropriate title and section for this thread, let me know. Dealing with it yesterday the only common element (and thus appropriate title) seemed to be Finkenbusch.

An active moderator is much appreciated, not meaning any disrespect to any of the other moderators, but I know how it is with time.
