Tesla is like In-N-Out

[Sirfun]

I'm sure lots of people on this site have never heard of In-N-Out. If you haven't, I provided photos. In-N-Out is a fast food chain in California and the Southwest of the USA. They have a massive following, it's extremely rare to get there without lines of people waiting to get food. Tesla is a lot like In-N-Out. They have a very simple/small menu with only a few options, they specialize in what they make, at a good value and they do it extremely well!
Think about it, Tesla right now only has 4 models of vehicles, and when you order your Tesla, it's a very simple process without many choices. Yet they're on the verge of producing 500,000 vehicles in 2020, without any advertising budget. How do they do it? They make a product that the public wants, at a good value and they do it extremely well.
In-N-Out just makes Burgers, Fries, Shakes & Soda. If that's what you want, that's the place to go. If you want something else, go somewhere else.
With that in mind, we're very fortunate that Tesla is expanding there menu to include Trucks. ?

I know them from living in East LA. They have only been in Dallas several years.
I would love one right now.

I agree with you that Tesla is like the In-N-Out of the auto industry. The simplicity of having a small menu allows efficiency to drastically improve, thus driving down manufacturing, service, and repair costs. Plus it makes the purchasing decision soooo much easier for buyers! Less is more, think of every time you've been to a restaurant with a 10 page menu. How easy is it to decide vs the 1 page menu restaurants?

Side Note: my In-N-Outs never have such short lines as yours pictured, they're at least 3x as long!

You can't see the end of the line, it goes to 2 lines all the way around the building.

Same situation here with Chick-fil-A, always packed, inside and out.

I agree with the analogy, I went to a In and Out when I lived in Arizona, I didn't care for the thin well done patty. Here in North Carolina Chick-fil-a always has lines wrapped around the building, I made a mistake of ordering a chicken sandwich and assuming it came with sauce

With the fast food places having long lines I think its more the pandemic era we live in than the quality of the food

Don't forget the special items... Not listed on the menu - You have to ask for it.

9 In-N-Out Secret Menu Items Everyone Should Try

1. Animal Style Fries

Let's get the big one out of the way first: You should not leave this earth without first trying Animal Style Fries from the In-N-Out secret menu. These babies are normal fries covered in cheese, In-N-Out's famous spread, and grilled onions. I'm not really religious, but if there's anything that makes me believe in the existence of a higher power, it's these things. Pro tip: Eat them with a fork. You'll thank me later.

2. Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman is what happens when you take two patties and use them as buns for a grilled cheese sandwich. That's literally all it is: Melted cheese between two beef patties, and people love it. Just remember to use a napkin if you don't want your hands to smell like beef. The guy in the photo put fries in his, but definitely don't ask In-N-Out to do that for you; pretty much the surest way to piss off an In-N-Out cashier is to ask them to put fries on your burger.

3. Neapolitan Shake

When you mix the three shake flavor options from the In-N-Out menu together, you get a chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry-flavored bit of heaven. Do not let anyone convince you that you need to pick one flavor. As the saying (almost) goes, you can have your shake and eat it, too. Or drink it. Or whatever.

4. 4x4

I'm not saying you need to get a 4x4 every day; probably no one needs a burger with four patties, four slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce and onions that frequently. I'm just saying that you should, at some point in your life, try this behemoth of a burger, if for no other reason than to really test the limits of your jaw range.

5. Cheese Fries

I'm stirring the pot with what I'm about to say, but it's worth it for the sake of journalism: Cheese fries are basically as good as Animal Style Fries. I'm sorry, it's true. They're different for sure, but there's something so pure and good about fries doused in melted cheese that it's really hard to turn these babies down. The best thing is that you don't have to pick between these and Animal Style Fries. Get an order of both!

6. Any Burger, Animal Style, With Grilled, Regular, and Whole Grilled Onions

Animal Style Burgers come with mustard grilled into the patty, as well as lettuce, tomato, cheese, extra sauce, pickles and grilled onions. Up the ante by ordering it with regular onions as well, or you can be extra crazy and ask for grilled whole onions. They'll do that for you, because they really do love you.

7. Chilis

You can add chopped chili peppers to anything at In-N-Out, but you have to ask because they're nowhere to be found on the actual menu. You can get them on top of or grilled into your burger, or on your fries.

8. Pup Patty

In-N-Out knows that if its guests love anything as much as Animal Style things it's actual animals, so if you order a "pup patty," they'll give you a cooked, saltless ground-beef patty for your pooch. Cutest thing ever, or cutest thing ever?

9. Grilled Cheese

It is a secret to no one who knows me that I love In-N-Out's grilled cheese. I think it's the best vegetarian sandwich on the fast food market. Between the cheese, the spread, the onions, and the soft, fluffy bun, this grilled cheese will absolutely knock your socks off. And don't forget, you can get it animal style.

In-N-Out gives me gas, Tesla doesn't

In-N-Out gives me gas, Tesla doesn't

Knowing what they serve leaves me believing that's not particularly unique to In-N-Out for you.

When I saw the title I thought it was going to be a negative comparison. Because In & Out always sounds good, but when you’re actually eating it you are thinking, ‘it’s okay, but a Wendy’s burger is just so much better, and the fries don’t taste cardboardy.’

 

[Crissa]

... ‘it’s okay, but a Wendy’s burger is just so much better, and the fries don’t taste cardboardy.’

Do you have taste buds?

Also, don't let your fries get cold, man.

Hah! Believe me my opinion is a minority opinion in my house, my wife thinks I’m nuts. Don’t get me wrong I don’t dislike In & Out, I just like Wendy’s so much more.
