good god, even my Alfa is better built than that POS...all eggs put into one basket (centre screen) then the basket falls apart...

what a piece of junk - glad I got my refund

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

6,250 Model III sales for May.

If Musks production numbers are to be believed (2k/week), that's fewer sales than production...not a good thing.

Saw my first Tesla 3 yesterday, red. Meh, kind of dinky looking, particularly compared to its larger, sleeker, much better looking older brother.

Jaysus, this thing is a $100K car?

I thought that the 3 was supposed to a $35K revolutionary EV.  Not even close.

They're up to 3500 cars a week with a third line starting up, it looks like they'll hit 5000 cars a week this month.

I heard they are delivering 250/day in Toronto right now as they are scared as hell Ford will be elected. Also Tesla claims they are now the #1 selling mid-size Premium sedan  in the US. May explain why the stock went up today.
