    I wouldn't be in such a note worthy rush to early adopt as they move to improve numbers at the expense of quality control.

    Not directly from Tesla, but just a short vid about how many difficulties there are with creating truly driverless cars.

    Nice try insurance companies!

    I will take a driver-less car over the hungover Monday morning drivers causing multiple accidents on the 45 rushing to work. Also, is it that hard to say you can't have a stop sign on the back of your car or if you are directing traffic then you need to be wearing a vest? It's really not. I mean, what if the guy is setting you up to rob you?

    built companies with my money that fail. Just like Solyndra.

    If you are on the left, you should hate Elon Musk because he represents wealth disparity and the rich getting richer. His company's make no profit yet he keeps getting richer off tax payer money with his army of lobbyists.

    If you are on the right, you should hate Elon Musk because he represents governments picking winners and losers.

    If Dems and Repubs can agree on anything, it should be that Elon is a twat.

    Been wondering about this car, there' just no way I'll even see this car in 2017, I have my doubts about 2018 too. At some point I'm going to have to replace my car and the Tesla may not come in time.

    Hate Elon Musk? Okaaaay.

    What does this have to do with no prototypes being finished yet?

    you didn't ask me about that. you asked me about why I think his companies 'suck noodles'.

    his companies suck because they can't make profit, sales quotas, or manufacturing quotas.

    What about people who don't have a "team" they feel like they have to pick and blindly follow?

    Why post something that was complete non-news? They just started making Model 3 prototypes in late Feb. Tesla announced in early Feb they would pause production of Model S/X for a week to install Model 3 production equipment.

    Today is March 3rd. How fast do you expect these to be finished?

    it looks like again Tesla will not meet one of their milestones. Just like they never meet sales quotas or production quotas.

    My father in law has a model x being delivered in April. He's like their new number one fanboy.

    It's not an argument. It's an observation.

    ok so you have no counter argument. Ridicule is not a substitute for reason. Unless you are talking to children, then name calling without explanation is going to hurt your position.
