    They aren't selling the Y in Germany yet, would have gotten that one otherwise.

    I would go with an electric Porsche because it still has turbo.

    How many miles do you have on it in those 5 years of ownership? Do you drive it daily?

    I don't own a Tesla but I did buy a **** ton of their stock at around $330 after that split. I am loving it right now :D

    Guy rips Model 3 apart, Elon goes FTF with him 2 years later. Good for Elon

    The second video shows the old guy completely out of his element and is hard to watch until they start talking about traditional car manufacture. They address points from the first video specifically.

    Munro is one of the biggest Tesla's homers out there. Very knowledgeable guy.

    You can see the gap differences at stop lights.
    I'm just surprised Elon talked to him, he typically ghosts people who criticize Tesla.

    The panels or the clothes the drivers are wearing?

    Sure. He was a big skeptic like many other boomers. It was well known the first deliveries were going to be flawed. Once he tore it down and saw the real beauty in the engineering and realized the panel nonsense was easily fixed...considering Tesla has never mass produced vehicles before.

    Panel "nonsense" is not fixed. Some cars are good, some are crap. The QC is still bad and inconsistent. He goes over all this in the interview. Elon says the ramp was the problem, the old guy says well some new ones are still bad. It shows on cars built near the end of the quarter.

    Bashing that grifter Elon talk goes here...... ;)

    So I bet Tesla gets diced up and sold off in 10 years to big auto if they don't move on from Elon.

    Autocorrect.

    Looks like BURRY has the wind at his back. Time will tell. You think Tesla will still be bigger than the rest of auto in 10 years, I don’t.

    You seem to have an acute financial interest, I don’t.

    You dont say?? Yes, the entire world understands Tesla is vastly over valued.

    Anyone betting against America these days has a tailwind. Burry is a POS just like anyone else on wall street. I am not sure why you're worshipping him. He finds the worst of situations and grifts off of them. He isn't a genius.

    If anything, you should hope the best for Musk. American vehicles are crap and our country needs to reestablish its position. Space exploration will be huge in the coming decades.

    I dont expect you to understand this and quite frankly I am not sure why im wasting keystrokes.

    Yea.... the hero worship/ cult behavior is weird....

    Elon sucks up government subsidies at the municipal, state, and federal level while being some sort of anti government maverick...

    Sells out to China and manipulates the numbers like the best of Wall Street. But sure.... it’s different when Elon does it....

    I wish Elon would just focus on SpaceX.
