Yea I have been noticing people really trying to make the Apple and Tesla comparison lately. It just feels so forced.
-edit random thought- Seems like a whole lot of wealthy tech writers/bloggers want to sell themselves on getting a Tesla because somehow its similar to buying an early mac. There should be a specific term for the tech version of Keeping Up With The Joneses. I wonder how many of them drink soylent and order their quarters off of quarterly. I realize I am on a 'startup centric' site but god damn man some introspection is good people.

Surely if you think Apple/Tesla is going to be great, the smart move is to buy early shares, not early products? The products will still be good/relatively cheap in future - the shares won't.

- Dwolb 11y agoDoes the essence of the term differ from an early adopter?
- devsquid 11y agoI would say being an early adopter is apart of it, but I don't think early adopters are always concerned about being 'techno hip'. Definitely saying you were one of the first fuels it. lol. I mean just like the saying its a extremely reductionist view of a person, but it touches on something in all of us and something too much in in a lot of us.
