Please, fellow Dopers, tell me what’s going on here: Twelve frickin’ pages of repetition.
Now,…it does start off normally, as a legitimite thread:
Somebody asks if Tesla will revolutionize driving, somebody answers that yeah, electric cars are cool, and a lot of people talk about how cool they are or are not and whether they are practical… and then somebody says yeah but it won’t be the Tesla company that does it, it will be the established car companies, so Tesla doesn’t count, so shut up you fool, and somebody says it doesn’t matter who does it, just that it gets done, so shut up you ignoramus, and somebody says the revolution has already begun because Tesla made it cool, so it gets the credit, so shut up again you jerk, and somebody says it doesn’t matter who is cool, it matters who will actually make the cars, so shut up you deaf dumb and blind person…
And then, well…everybody starts saying the same thing again. And again. And again.
Twelve pages of repetition, barely acceptable as an IMHO thread, and none of it worthy of being in Great Debates.
I’m a little embarrassed that I posted in it.
(okay, …so this isn’t a real pitting. But I’m criticizing other Dopers, and I ain’t never done that before, so I put it here.)
Tesla fans are annoying. most of them didn’t give one shit about cars until the Model S dropped, then they decided they were experts on the automotive industry.
I haven’t read that thread, but have trouble believing it could be more long, pointless and repetitive than our threads about Zimmerman/Martin, Michael Brown, Sandusky/Paterno/Brawny, and global warming.
