Stewart Alsop is not just any customer. You'd be better off thinking of him as a reporter. It's not a perfect analogy by any means, but think of it as: Elon Musk is to Stewart Alsop as Donald Trump is to Megyn Kelly. As a business person, would you want to piss off Megyn Kelly or Brian Williams

I’m surprised nobody has brought up the infamous John Broder incident. That cost Tesla quite a bit in damage control. The naysayers had a field day. Even if Musk was harsh, it was a prudent move. He avoided a bigger hassle. Bruce ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http

"Tesla's smartest response to that would be to offer to buy his car back." I disagree...The guy whined about a stupid PR event! He needs to get a life. He also clearly indicated that his past behavior is to whine about everything. Let me get this straight, a car HE decided to buy from BMW made him
