When your Tesla car parts fail miserably, you realize you are a test pilot of an early prototype, so be glad if you survived.

@randahl the friend of mine who owns a Tesla does indeed feel like a beta-tester. Or a pioneer. Or an adventurer. Or something like that. It's actually part of the appeal of being a Tesla owner. (I don't own a Tesla, I ride a bicycle).
@nitot feeling like a pioneer is great.
@randahl It's a pretty good way to take money people while selling them a turd^W unfinished piece of metal, if you ask me
@nitot I think Musk is making many short-sighted business decisions.
