Let's talk about the Jaguar I-Pace

BTW, a coworker gave us a ride on his spanking new i-Pace, the interior is so much nicer than Model 3(and S/X too). The rear is a bit tight for 3 adults, but the ride was quiet and confident. Anyone considering Tesla should check out i-Pace too.

Do you have $30K to give to everyone who follows your advice?

Knowing the difference between $50K and $80K and shopping for what you can afford and not what people on random forums tell you is now a cult behavior?

Your post shows a bias in your thought process, hence your interpretation of post#250 did not pick up the key phrases highlighted below.

That by itself is the cult behavior of many Tesla owners towards non-Tesla owners, and other Tesla owners who complain.

Without eliminating that bias(which singularly focus on your experience and yours alone), any genuine discussion of the topic at hand often turns ad hominem.

Speaking of cult behavior. We BMW enthusiasts have very rosey glasses. I have been here long enough to see who is a sheep, who is knowledgeable, who is envious, and who just plain hates Elon Musk.

Maybe we.ought to check out an Audi Q7 before buying a G20, cause you know, the Q7 is so nice inside....

Anyway, jokes aside, Tesla invited me for a extended test drive and will bring the car to my door. I will have some proper seat time. Hopefully my next purchase will go smoother than the first time.

As a TSLA owner since IPO and being labeled a cult follower since day one, it is quite obvious to me who are the sheep that pretend to be knowledgeable of Tesla products.

Please pay attention to what others wrote instead of channeling your anger any chance you get.

Just getting inventory readily available is a giant step for Tesla, that's all that is said.

Focus on the subject matter, instead of attacking anyone who does not match exactly your own experience. E.g. factory deliveries of friend's Model 3 were great, no paint issue, no alignment issue, same day, what's not to love?

Don't worry, the cult will make sure to check out Landover Sport before buying G20, cause it's so nice inside.

A clear-headed enthusiast would read the following post as suggesting those interested in Tesla Model 3, S, X to check out the i-Pace.

Some not-so-clear-headed Model 3 owners somehow read this as singularly forcing a comparison of Model 3 and i-Pace.

Obviously other clear-headed Model 3 owners do not behave that way, but probably dare not speak up, as Tesla cult members will rip them apart as well.
