Sorry Nick - you miss understood or I was unclear. You did not engage in any personal attack at all. I am just seeing this tendency in others (Narrative) toward Tesla. 
Not arguing at all in all cases just letting you know, as you point out, that I am not watching the financial stuff closely and that it is just my personal ownership experience. So total agreement and far from being argumentative. 
Sorry to hear about the poor experience your friend had with his plaid delivery.  I don’t sweat the cosmetic stuff since it is just an appliance to me. 
In the end we are just observing and the market and all that good stuff - fair or not - will decide for us. It is great entertainment and we should be enjoying the spectacular tech coming our way.
