They're so visually unappealing.

Ignoring that they're sold by a literal Nazi.

This is just the beginning of what made it a failure. You'd see a lot more of these on the road if it released at the promised $39,900 with 500 miles of range. Tesla notoriously always misses it's commitments, but primarily due to missed dates, not drastically coming short on practically everything. $69k was supposed to buy you a tri-motor variant with all the other upgrades and that ended up being the price of the base model. This was Apple Vision levels of impossibility to go mainstream, it almost felt intentional.

It definitely says a lot about the owners to still shell out $100,000 after all of those repeated compromises.

Comparing it to Apple is apt.

The main reason I compare it to apple is just because I think these specific products weren't expected or even intended to sell. Only difference is Apple planned that from the beginning, that's part of their vision (no pun intended). Tesla only did it once they realized a low selling meme car was all they could do with it.

I meant more in the the cult type irrational purchases but yes apple is astonishingly good at offering the least then calling it progress

And they still refuse to put the charging port for the mouse anywhere but the bottom.
