So... He&#x27;s missing a spoiler, and he only got what he paid for, nothing more? Oh. also his car depreciated an expected amount.<p>Nothing to see here but whining Twitter users. _yawn_

Sounds like someone is one of today&#x27;s 10,000 [0] discovering the meaning of (if a bit out of context) &quot;...but the company won&#x27;t love you back&quot;. Yeah, you&#x27;re all-in when they&#x27;re showering you with gifts. Hell, who wouldn&#x27;t be? But one slow-shipping spoiler later and the bubble pops. Tesla doesn&#x27;t love you any less, they never loved you to begin with, it just appeared that way. Now the tweeter gets to find out how the other half of low-production vehicle owners live: &quot;sorry, we used all the spoilers to make cars and didn&#x27;t have any left over. Unfortunately, we&#x27;re also using all of our <i>energy</i> to make cars, and don&#x27;t have much (if any) left over for you.&quot;<p>I&#x27;ve owned a lot of TSLA, but not an actual Tesla. But were I to have purchased one, and had this same experience, I personally wouldn&#x27;t be all that surprised. I&#x27;d still be a little pissed, but only at myself for having known better. I hesitate to say that the tweeter &quot;shoulda known better&quot;, because there&#x27;s no reason to say that they should have. You spend $90K, or whatever, there&#x27;s a certain expectation that goes with that amount of money. OTOH, someone in as deep as the tweeter claims probably...at least shouldn&#x27;t be shocked by this with a table-flipping rage.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.xkcd.com&#x2F;1053&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.xkcd.com&#x2F;1053&#x2F;</a>

So his Model X saved his wife&#x27;s life, then they didn&#x27;t ship him his spoiler on time so he&#x27;s pulling a hissy fit. His priorities seem a little cockeyed.

Teslas are billowing smug into the atmosphere at a faster rate than the pious prius people. If the fanboyism would take a back seat to pragmatism we could all move forward with electric. As it stands they are growing as annoying as the bicycling vegan birgade.
