He's a mailman, self proclaimed and being the aggressor. No I don't see that as an insult. I see it for how it's meant, an acknowledgement of his employment and an opinion.

Sounds degrading to me. I would lock this thread down.

Calling a mailman a mailman is degrading? Did I fall into the Twilight Zone or something? 
I think you're trying to stir up something that's not there.

A description of an action that should be taken when certain subjects are discussed is not an insult. Trying to gaslight me won't work. Cherry picking part of a conversation out of context like that IS insulting.

I disagree. It's not the American public that is not ready. It's the EV that is not ready. Imagine going back in time and promoting whatever ICE's preceded the Ford Model T the way the EV in its current form is being promoted now...we might not have seen the Model T. We would have wasted too much time and effort on the wrong version of ICE. The EV needs to be re-imagined before it can be ready for success. I'd like to see some type of EV be widely successful. At the present, we're jamming a square peg into a round hole.
That car was an engineering marvel with better build quality than anything else I’ve owned. I think the cars are there, and demand will follow as price declines and infrastructure improves.
I made a big bet yesterday morning that Ford and Tesla will follow through next spring. I expect more will follow once that happens.

Lutz cited a number of issues at Tesla, the main ones being the company’s high burn rate, Model 3 production delays, and slowing sales of the Model S and Model X. Recall, Tesla lost $619 million in the third quarter and only managed to build 260 examples of the Model 3.
