Tesla unveils new sports car...

Announcing new cars when he can't even deliver the Model 3 ones people have bought. Sounds like some former turbo kit makers here.

It takes the focus off the failures, though.

Musk is a brilliant salesman. He must be, as he's managed to get every level of government and many investors to give him money for every venture he's launched, though he's really yet to make any profit. He makes lots of promises. He makes very few cars. The vehicles that he does produce are brilliant in many ways, but don't rank particularly high on reliability.

Elon Musk uses two shiny objects to distraction from Model 3 production hell


Opinion: Tesla dangles 2 shiny electric objects to distract from production reality
The new Roadster and Semi are undoubtedly cool. They're also just diversions

Just yesterday I was ahead of a tesla, wife was checking out my car the entire time, so bored/rich/conspicuous consumers gravitate towards them. Personally if I had the money, it would go to a vehicle that keeps the Z's visceral driving fun, not some yawn mobile.

I now see more Teslas than 370's around here. They must be enjoying their checklist lifestyle! I love the Z, and it can haul goods just fine, you just have to be good at tetris
