I doubt if a person values what a Tesla has to offer, and the fact that there IS no comparably spiffy and safe car, that rubbing off an offensive customer is not going to have an effect.
Was Jack Welch a nice guy? Or Henry Ford who wouldn't hire an engineer if he salted his food without first tasting? So Musk doesn't get enough sleep and being the frontman wears on him. Guy like him has to bear up under all sorts of insufferable, ignorant, or dysfunctional public nonsense. I have watched enough video of him patiently answering the same questions *ad infinitum nauseam,* with real equanimity that I am impressed. He suffers fools lightly all the time. I don't expect any human to maintain some perfection that pleases all. On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 1:39 PM, dovepa via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > I disagree.
