Model 3 because Ford would not allow Model e. The 3 is a backwards 3. All together they spell S3XY. I hope that clears things up. That was quite an Elon rant. Wow. Still rent free…
for real? that is so lame, and ironically the last think I think of when I see a Tesla design
I did not say it was not lame. It is downright juvenile. I was simply explaining a bit of Tesla to Nick. And yes they are not sexy although 9.2 sec 1/4 mile is, in a way.
Mostly my point was that no matter how many words in his straw man argument Porsches use of the word Turbo can’t be defended. Regardless they are sexy.
Marketing does not seem to be a problem for Tesla even with lame lettering. Modern psychology teaches us that a slogan or association will form and stick regardless of how far fetched. I can think of thousands of examples. Our politics and lifestyle are basically a result of this simple manipulation.
and no - he did not name the cars to spell sexy.
S was clearly meant to compete with Mercedes S type cars the E was natural for an electric car but Ford had that reserved. The X came before the 3 anyway and clearly stands for crossover SUV. The Y comes after X - maybe in the end it accidentally rounds out sexy if the 3 is turned around so Elon trolled us with that in good fun. Some really don’t have an Elon sense of humor especially if he is occupying headspace rent free.
There it is... I wasn't blaming you for the lame mnemonic leawood, and you don't need to obsessively defend every single thing about Tesla and take it personally. Thanks for the part explaining the naming though
BTW Elon does have a sense of humor sometimes, just look at what he named his kids
Your mind reading that I obsess over anything Tesla or Elon or take any of this personal is getting really old. It seems to be your only input rather than substance. It is a transparent attempt to somehow shame me into not expressing any opinions you don’t like. We all get that. And for your information I do take the BS mind reading personally and will always respond to such.
Cheers buddy!
PS I find negativity is something people obsess over far more than positivity. In the past we called a positive obsession a hobby or interest. Now we pretend people saying nice things about stuff they like is a negative trait and people who , conversely, seek to demonize, divide or better yet pretend to be victimized constantly are to be followed and admired. Crazy world, you can’t make it up.
I will continue to be perfectly happy and positive - ban me or marginalize me if it makes you feel better but I hope you see why I prefer my choices and why I am active on this board.
What mind reading? I'm taking about your actions, not thoughts, it's impossible to talk anything that is not positive about Tesla without you being triggered and taking everything Tesla personally, being passive-aggressive or playing the victim, nobody can share an opinion on Tesla that is negative without immediately triggering you into a crusade, even something like just saying that the models spelling sexy was lame was enough to do it.
Nevermind buddy, S3XY is not lame at all, it's a great acronym, very imaginative and Musk has a great sense of humor... and Teslas are the sexiests cars around. Don't worry, all is right in the world again and we can stop taking about Tesla on the Sport Classic thread...
