Very impressed by the tech, less so by the looks. I thought I'd be clever and buy their stock when Jonny Liebermann (Motor trend) hinted on instagram he was gonna release a very good review. The day he did, and it was a very good review - the stock dropped like 6%. Sometimes I don't get the market at all... ;-) I sold most of it because that gamble failed, took a small loss and kept a small amount to see if I was right in the end. I see them getting bought out for their tech, their motors are much more efficient than teslas. Their cars though are too weird and pricey for mass market IMO, we'll see.

i like the car overall. its beautiful.

i am loving our new Tesla 3. it's very intuitive to drive and work the controls. well, except HOW to turn on the rear passenger AC vents. WTF?

i love driving past the insanity at the Costco gas pumps. i still have to run the gauntlet for my toyota truck, but now i do it less than half the time. (hey, i'm a cheapskate for low gas prices).

i am half tempted to get on the wait list for the cybertruck. so my kayak trips can be plug in affairs. i need 500 mile ranges to get to some remote lakes and back.

Turn on rear seat vents by opening the fan icon. Bottom right there is an icon that looks like 2 seats 1 in front of the other. Hit that and back seat vents come on.

Original delivery date was April. Today I got an update Oct20-Nov20. It will most likely change again. Finger crossed it is soon. I ordered Black, carbon fiber, cream seats. I’ll update with pics when it arrives

Clearly the market is happy about that:

I thought the car looked great in this last season of Goliath.
