If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Earthquake woke me up at 0450 this morning. Bed shook for a few seconds. No big deal.

Went out for a drive in one the other day, it is a very impressive piece of engineering. From the moment you open the doors (push button, electric), to when you see the interior (how clean it is) you are looking at the future.
The reversing camera on the big ipad style central dash is of such high quality you can see everything clearly, and the over layed lines showing the direction the car will take a nice touch.
Then the performance. 0-100kmh in 4.7. And it is a wall of torque, not a build up, just seat slamming acceleration from the start.
Apparently they average about 200 miles on a refill, which isnt much worse than my ST with its 45 liter tank.
Of course it costs £75k, and for that kind of money you get a lot, but it is the car of the future. Instantly what you have is a cart horse. Outdated, form the last century. The Tesla is a 21st century car.

Just more things to break, and too expensive to repair when they do. I'll take my old truck.

No view ahead in traffic. You'll still be stuck behind my SUV.

The X is an SUV, so it has the same kind of view of the traffic as yours. But wait till a gap comes up, and it will fly past.

I see a slightly tall sedan; not an SUV.

And the difference is?
|
|
|
|
|
SUVs are significantly larger than sedans. With greater ground clearance. Usually a cavernous cargo area.

Tesla is the future? Only for the well heeled those with more money than sense.
My take is Tesla is the Apple Macbook equivalent to windows 10 PCs being the Prius.
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

MacBook is hardware, Windows is an OS.
In OS-terms, Tesla is comparable to OS2/Warp. Good idea on paper, good marketing, lousy execution.

That such is apples (haha) and pears-comparison.
Also, as much as I dislike Apple, I can see the effort in the design.

Just to reiterate - I wrote "windows 10 PC's"
And that's my point, Tesla's like Apples are pretty much unnecessary for the average user, those [average] users that have them are just showing off.
Prius like win-10-PC's are the boring "supposed to be good for" something [environment/usability] but really aren't. win-10 is a proven productivity killer, prius lietime footprint are not environmentally friendly- 50 times the pollution created in the build, barely more fuel/emission efficient than a well tuned pure petrol car - and in fact less fuel/emission efficient than new generation diesels.
or in summary:
prius/win-10-pc = boring bullshit
tesla/macbook = expensive unnecessary bullshit.

Which is mass-produced modular standardized hardware, bound by an OS, compared to an OS that is hardcoupled with its hardware (like a games-machine).

Haha, there's the buying excuse for the Apple - it is useless for the average user, but WE as power-users NEED one 
..and then they launch Windows on their MacBook.

Aight, that's an explanation that I can understand. In that context, I'm probably driving a volkswagen-van, the type Scooby Doo owns.

Total utter bollocks. A Tesla, bad execution? You are so wrong. So completely wrong. It is a very nice piece of engineering.
