Tesla's price cuts causing surge in interest

[Overnight]

So. I want to see if I understand this. You are saying this:

Looks like this:

Is that right?

Wait, I was going to tell you how crazy you are, but looking at those pictures....

Do a side-by-side comparison, and it is the same car design. Ignore the grill you can see on one but not the other.

LOL, I'm going to bet big bucks at long odds he knows I'm joking. Meanwhile, here is you right here:

Nobody knows when you are joking, like when you keep bragging about market direction AND BRAG ABOUT IT CONSTANTLY IN MULTIPLE THREADS you got right, but disappear when you get it wrong. You NEVER admit when you are wrong. So who the fuck are you picking on me with some Marvel comic-strip-themed dumb. Hello?

Oh calm down Overnight, I'm just messin wit ya. Breathe in, breathe out.

P.S. all my market calls, save maybe one, have been right on. Maybe off by a day or two in a few cases, but Soy always gets his man...

This is your right now Overnight.

Please, settle down, it was just a joke...

The third gen ford fusion, aka "mondeo" was designed Martin Smith team following cues from Ian Callum's Aston Martin designs by order of ford CEO at the time. Fisker who later became design director at Aston followed similar design cues and was then hired by Tesla to do initial model S designs. That's why the Model S resembles a ford fusion which retains much of the mondeo's linework.

Haha that explains why I was trying to find pictures to show Overnight he was crazy, but the more I looked at them the more I was like "yea, the dude's got a point" lol.

A correction on my part. It was the fourth gen mondeo that got the aston treatment on CEO's orders...so it's more appropriate to say the model S got the Aston touch up from Fisker moreso than from Ford's. Ford claims the 4th gen retains 3rd gen linework.

Musk also stole the flush door handle from Aston and claimed it was his own design/invention, just a bit of extra trivia.

That's what @Baron said:

I highly doubt it. I've had the Model S in the P100D, the Dual Motor, and the Plaid configurations. All I've seen them do is get more expensive over time.

Unless I am mistaken...
