      What @elonmusk has done that rival automakers missed/didn't have the means to combat was turn @Tesla into a lifestyle! It doesn't just sell someone a car, it sells them an image, a relationship & a feeling that they are tapping into the future! @paulg #Tesla #TuesdayThoughtshttps://twitter.com/paulg/status/1122922415993106433 …

      The old car companies think what separates them from Tesla is that Teslas are electric. But they're also separated by the fact that Teslas are software, and that, they will discover, is an unbridgeable gulf.

      In my experience they do this less than other companies. I know lots of people who own them, and in nearly all cases the reason they do is not the brand image but simply that you don't have to buy gas, that they're quiet and accelerate fast, etc.

      But you can't deny the Cult of Elon Musk+SpaceX+Tesla that is driving each of them in one or another way.

      I don't know about other people, but zero of my friends that own Teslas bought them because Elon is the CEO.

          Also ‘cult’ is used to imply irrationality of people who support him. It seems perfectly rational to me to respect his unprecedented achievements in multiple industries and to hope he continues the success given the good it does for the struggle clean energy
