I actually agree with this part:

But a few posts later, I felt the thread kind of devolved into a "you can either love or hate Tesla" discussion.

Well, pejorative or not, I did feel some posts in this thread were like the occasional Gruber article where Apple is great and can do no wrong, only now it's about Tesla. My gut reaction was a three-word response. A quarter hour later, that felt bad. I can respect that that's not enough.

Two years ago, I would've agreed that Tesla's future was rosy. These days, my impression isn't quite as positive. Even back then, though, I wasn't convinced Apple should have outright bought them.

(I'm also not a car nerd. Not to mention that, climate-wise, we'd be even better off with fewer cars than with electric cars.)
