Manufacturing quality is hard. Tesla, as a SV company, isn’t really interested in manufacturing it seems. Think they could really benefit from merging with Toyota especially at this valuation.
Merging them would create a mass of online fanboys so dense that it creates an automotive black hole. It will be impossible for discussion of any other brand to build up enough speed to exit the fanboy-well.
Joking aside, brands that start with T and end with A seem to have a disproportionate number of very loud online fanboys. I can understand why they have the following they do but it doesn't make them any less insufferable.
Ha! It might not be as bad as you think, there are a lot of Model 3 owners who used to own a Prius, so there's already a lot of commonality there.
