Tesla's naming policy

[anonymous-user]

X Æ A-12? Mr Musk wouldn't call his cars that. He knows well that saddling a car with a stupid, unpronounceable name like that would hurt sales. But he's no problems calling their child such a name. Dunno about everyone else, but I've gone off the guy and his products now - seems like a right tool.

You've just realised?

He's a massive tt IMO, but it doesn't stop me wanting one of his products!

[Doofus]

His first four car models were planned to be called "S 3 X Y".

'Nuff said.

[Xaero]

I think a lot of the recent nonsense is coming from his girlfriend, including this name. I find their relationship really weird. Nothing redeeming about her at all.

This guy had a hard to pronounce name at one point ...

The 3 was only a 3 because another manufacturer (Jag? Merc? Ford?) wasn't happy with Model E being used as far as I'm aware.

It is a bit... unique.

[Mouse Rat]

anyway they should all just be called the model 'I Saw You Coming'

[Xenoous]

He's a prize twit. I don't want any of his products, nor will I ever own any.

But, he has billions, and can do whatever the hell he wants. I'm sat bored on PH.

He is a massive tool, apparently he is so rich but doesn’t mind taking 0% loans off customers putting 50k down on one of those Tesla roadsters.... and how many have they delivered...

One of my favourite fk You's.

Re: Musk, I think he's always been arrogant, but I think he's having difficulty handling his success and associated fame.

Bit harsh. "Visions" is a cracking album.

He got saddled with a name that makes him sound like an aftershave from the 1970s.
