“I honestly don’t understand what you’re expecting. This car is fundamentally no different than anything else in its class with the crucial distinction that it likely will be orders of magnitude more reliable. . . .
Many consumers are happy to just have a new vehicle and don’t really want anything more from their cars. All that matters is that they can get from point A to point B with minimal stress. It’s why you can list a 10-year-old high mileage Camry and it will sell within a day.
The real problem is not that this car exists, it’s that people use cars as status symbols. People think they’re an enthusiast because they own a particular car when in actuality they’re just a consumer like everyone else.”
