Some Tesla owners wonder why certain people talk about the company's clients as if they were a religious cult, while other go ahead and simply build the shrine they've always wanted.
There's nothing wrong with loving your car. Having a favorite brand is also normal, even though keeping an open mind and a watchful eye over the entire automobile industry is always the best course of action if you want to buy the best vehicle out there.
However, explaining why you love one particular brand so much is as difficult as telling somebody why you support a specific football team. You just do, and they'd better not badmouth it if they know what's good for them.
There are lots of car brands that have huge and pretty fanatical following, but the Teslaratis are a special breed. It's hard to tell what makes them so different - it's perhaps the fact they don't just love their cars, they also seem to cherish the person running the company. Most carmakers are just a faceless corporation, whereas Tesla has Elon Musk's figure imprinted all over it.
Whatever it is, it's making people do crazy stuff. Usually, that means getting into heated conversations with other people in the comment section of online articles, but some of them are playing in a different league.
Take Erik, for example. He's a double Model S owner, and we'd be surprised if all that space in his garage isn't empty for a purpose: to welcome the Model 3 he's already registered for. Recently, he started a two-day project meant to transform his ordinary garage into a space similar to a Tesla gallery showroom.
In spite of the limited space available, he spared no efforts and tried to make it look as convincing as possible. The floor, however, turned out to be too much even for him, so he didn't touch that. He did paint the wall in Tesla red (he found the color code online) and made a complete Tesla logo out of MDF which he applied on the wall.
Erik went even further and bought a table and three high stools the exact same brand and model as those used in real Tesla showrooms. He said this video is only part one of the project, but he didn't make it very clear what the second phase might add to the place. You can watch the clip below and even if you're not a Tesla fan, there are a few useful DIY advice to be taken from the clip.
