What went right?

Ever played video games? There's a term dubbed "pre-order hype" where everyone who can convince themselves they're not about to get fucked take the risk so others don't have to.
>Relatively affordable electric car that actually looks good rather than looking like it was drawn by an 8-year-old with down syndrome and has enough range to actually drive across town and back without recharging
Gee I wonder
>>14773492
Marketing, only reason to buy something before it is out
>>14773529
Yeah that is why the Leaf is the best selling EV around.
>>14773492
Am I the only one who's actually happy these cars are getting bought by the normiest of normies?
Think about it, it keep them in such a small clique that there's no way they are gonna be influencing more bullshit on ICE cars. They can keep their iPad size screen with paid subscriptions to make them feel special. I'll keep my old cars.

Tesla doesn't spend a cent on advertising.
pretty genius imo, make sumethig expensive, out of the reach of the masses, then overnight flip that and allow it to be accessed by the masses and boom, everyone loses their minds.
Pre Order is great for Tesla.
nearly three hundred million dollars in a few days. Which can go to getting the product ready, made, and shipped. Holding some in case there are cancellations and they need to refund.
>>14774136
Musk has always said that the expensive cars were just a means to an end of making electric mass market cars.
>>14773650
What cents?
>>14774172
Tesla makes a profit on each car sold. They are just plowing it all back into infrastructure and development. The Gigafactory, Model 3, Supercharger network, stores, service centers, destination chargers.
>>14774172
Why don't you post pictures of classics instead, because you post stupid if you try something else.
>>14774184
... Which therefore makes it not a profit. How dumb are you?
>>14774276
You faggot. Reporting profit is taxeable. Theyre reinvesting in themselves to keep their assets to themselves and make their money work for them.
>>14774276
Tesla would be silly to "profit" from each car. They deliberately set their R&D expenditure high enough that it cannibalizes the profit they make from each car. That way they evade tax hikes.
>>14774172
>I literally don't understand basic finance and accounting
Pull their FYE 2015 10-K and read the Statement of Cash Flows.
>>14773634
Yes because if demand for ICE goes down everyone will keep developing ICE technology.
Normies are the majority so they will absolutely influence everything you will ever buy forever
>>14773634
Yeah, but then manufacturers will stop making ICE cars.
We can't win.

Turbo electric cars when?

Water-injected electric cars when
>Model 3: 276,000 pre-orders in 72 hours
>The top four best-selling small luxury sedans of 2015 were the 3 Series (94,527 units), C-Class (86,080 units), Acura TLX (47,080 units), and Lexus IS (46,430 units) - 274,117 total sales during an entire year

I dunno why people want a Tesla when you can get a cheap as fuck Prius and put a 10KwH add on battery into it.

TESLA WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Look around the internet and see people talk about how this car is faster, safer, more reliable cheaper to run than any other car in it price range
Oh and it can drive itself too

Why does everything in this picture seems badly shopped together?
>>14775256
Most likely because somebody fucked around with the colors. Because if you know how to use photoshop it automatically means you must alter every single fucking picture you take,
>>14774963
Shit range too, I need more than 75 miles at least once a week or so.
>>14774276
I think Elon Musk and some of the best-paid financial and bookkeeping experts in the US know more about managing Tesla's finances than some random 4channer.
>>14774667
That is an alternator, you dumbass.

charge at your destination.
> at 120v, you get 5 miles per hour of charging.
or
use a DC fast charger
>60 miles of range charged in 20 minutes
>>14775432
The car should come with one of those folding bicycles or scooters and you can just leave the car at the charger till you need it
So the Model 3 door handles(exterior) are not power retract/extend like the Model S.
They are recessed but they physically hinge like on Astons. Just push on the back of the handle and the front pops out. Allowing you to then grab it and pull the door open.
Interior grab handle has a button you push to pop the door open.
>>14775445
>this is why people are buying the car
>IT IS SO COOL ANON
>>14775289
Yeah but something seems off.
Like half of the cord lacks a shadow completely, the charging thing on the wall has been given a wrong and inconsistent shadow, 3/4th of the car's edges seem off but I can't really point to what is wrong.
It's like they took the background, shopped the car from a pic and then shopped in the cord from another, the charging station on the wall being the most obvious out-of-place thing

We have all learned from the video game industry

then you shouldn't buy one, fampai

the car, its shadow/reflection, and the charger was photoshopped onto that modern garage background. it's easily noticeable
