All good here. We sent you some rain yesterday. Gorgeous morning now, with more rain tonight on its way.
...and yes, I agree. M3 will change the dynamic. I'm loosing confidence something will change nearer-term, and I know am sounding like a broken record, but selfishly hope Elon and Tesla get ahead of that curve for present owner's benefit, as well for as the longer term benefit to the brand. I want Tesla to be successful. Having spent all my career in software development, HW & SW tech support, & customer service -- including starting up remote technical support centers supporting both warranty and as a profit center -- and seeing how growth changes the dynamics, this whole subject just gets me going as you can tell. I learned the very important distinction between satisfied vs very satisfied customers (think 4-star vs 5-star), and what happens if you allow your customers to start feeling somewhat un-loved or their concerns not being attended to as they expect. If you're not careful, none of that is apparent or necessarily on your radar when you're in start-up mode and have an essentially unique product with customers willing to spend what it takes to have it, but is imperative for long term profitable growth as the dynamics evolve. I want more than anything for Tesla to understand that now and do something about it before it bites them in the you know what. I'm convinced we would all loose in that situation -- shareholders and owners alike.
+1 - This is well said.
