Judging from all the features in the X, Tesla will have a very good year.

You can buy the good stuff even in American grocery stores it will just cost a you a premium.
Hear in LA we have ultra premium shops like Cold Stone Creamery.
+1 if your post is long and relevant to short term stock price, please give us a tl;dr (especially if your post is an ad hominem rebuttal - I'm not going to take away your right to defend your opinions or dispute the other's choice of facts, but some of us have the ability to read multiple points of view and make up our own minds, we don't need to watch the debate spiral down into a deadly embrace)

OK, we've covered American Ice Cream and post lengths. How about some comment on the snowstorm next?
Back on topic, TSLA hopefully improves its customer communication going forward or the upcoming events like the Q4 ER and the Model 3 reveal are going to be overshadowed by all the complaints and articles about clueless customer service. Why does this hi-technology company have no means of tracking a vehicle's status other than rare vague statements that say nothing? This is going to be a disaster when they really start ramping up especially for the Model 3. I know that is 2 or 3 years off, but it's been months since they started production of the X and they still can't tell people what is going on with their cars.

So, um...is there an ice cream, gelato or custard stock we should consider investing in? Or have you heard rumors of Tesla putting electric ice cream machines in the up coming Model 3?

I'm actually down for that, especially if there's a car chase and/or explosives involved.

Nice review.
The next one that Youtube proposed right after it was even more interesting, to me at least. It's about the P90D reviewed by a self-confessed petrolhead in Germany for his Youtube car-reviews channel (he has tons of reviews for German performance cars). Rather than showing the 0-60 launches or autopilot features like most Youtube reviews do, he takes the car through its paces from the perspective of a German driver. He comes away very impressed.
You can also tell from the comments that anti-Tesla trolls are getting push-back from a much more informed audience than in the past (which was a bit of a surprise given the particular audience of this channel).
Good review to send to slightly skeptical friends on the fence.

This is an interesting topic and it's been brought up a number of times before. Honestly, I don't think the communication thingy will affect Model 3 at all. First of all, there will always be people who complain simply because they like being negative and making everyone else around them as miserable as they are. Some of the complainers fall into that category. (If the shoe doesn't fit, don't try and jam it on your foot.)
But for discussion's sake let's pretend the customer is always gracious, reasonable, positive and right. And let's pretend Tesla doesn't improve in this area (and frankly what are the odds considering it's been a complaint for a number of years?). As a comparison, people have complained about dealerships for decades, but they still buy cars from dealerships by the truckload. They've complained about mechanics ripping them off, but they still take their cars in to be fixed hoping they'll get one of the honest ones. They've complained about politicians being corrupt, but people still choose to vote even when their choice is bad and really bad. They complain about Tesla communication, but they love the car and often really like Tesla employees so they keep buying. I could go on and on and on. Point being, people adapt, they give concessions, and sometimes they just grin and bear it. It's part of life - accepting that nothing and nobody is ever perfect and *we* always think *they* should do a better job, because surely *we* could do a better job and *we* expect it but interestingly rarely get it.
Companies are groups of people and people aren't perfect. Tesla is a car company in Silicon Valley. WTH?! That gives it both strengths and weakness, advantages and disadvantages. The company culture and the general personalities and traits (and median age?) of the employees is quite different than a century old car company in Detroit. Additionally, the world is going through a big communication transition because of the Internet, social media, cellphones/texting etc... I just saw a FB posting today that basically suggested we're headed back to the days of hieroglyphics for communication.
This is rather a bearish take on American ice cream, but I support your right to hold this viewpoint. In the future, could you please provide a line of logic or verifiable evidence to support your claim?
I just hope no one leave the forum permanently over this heated debate, especially since we all know what happens to ice cream when it it heated.

They better don't. Otherwise, I may compulsively write a vigorous defense of their right to dislike American ice cream.
(On second thought: nah, we've had enough of that.)

Agreed! And now I feel I must apologize since I think my last post was too long.
I apologize for utilizing an analogy that steered the thread slightly off course. The container should be empty by now. Let the dog lick it.
As to the comments about poor communication, people and companies don't change unless it is a necessity for survival, or maybe they see the light and feel motivated. In the case of Tesla, good or bad, the company probably doesn't see that their communications have affected the company negatively. When it does, and it becomes clear changes are required, I am sure they will recognize the need to put in place the structure and personnel to address those concerns.

I guess it's worth mentioning Haagen Dazs ice cream is considered a luxury item in certain countries?

Is Haagen-Dazs not considered good ice cream by the standards of ice cream connoisseurs? 'Cause I love it, and I'd like to know what else I can buy in a Canadian store that is significantly better.I guess it's worth mentioning Haagen Dazs ice cream is considered a luxury item in certain countries?
