( I don’t know how “drop” became a thing, but apparently “limited edition” is the same thing.)

I’ m sure the materials and build quality are exceptional, but that interior design really turns me off. It looks like they kept forgetting to include things and just kept adding them later.

I see it all the time, but I think they’re homeless.

You can live in a Tesla. You cannot drive a house.

Everyone want s to be special. ‘Especially’ the 1%.
And if you’re not in the in 1% of the 1%, then there’s a few million people exactly like you.

There are a number of people speculating that with the explosion of money into the top that you can just go buy something expensive. That would mean you have money but not the kind of money that REAL wealth has, you have to be willing to buy above and beyond sticker for the thing that is 1 of 1 or 1 of 500. Anything less and you’re just some dude with a super car which is becoming more common

I thought bespoke was the buzzword.

Unclear, but this sounds more like packages than “add anything you want” which is what I would expect with bespoke.

I’m also getting weary of the passive verb “drop” being used in every single context in which something gets released. It’s like something out of the “Aging Narc’s H andbook to Music F estival C ulture”

Good point. Makes perfect sense. I can see no downside really though, at least we get cool stuff to gawk at.
