I wouldn't want him as a customer (or anything) either. I regret even reading his posts.

It would be helpful if you explained why? Isn't obvious to me from reading his posts. The event did start 45-60 minutes late and he still never got to view the vehicle.

The guy left at 9:00, 15 minutes after they started the event. Doesn't sound like he even tried to see it.

He arrived 30 minutes before it was due to start and stayed an hour and a half. Not unreasonable.

I love how you twist facts to make it sound like the event didn't start an hour and a half late.

I'm not twisting facts, just stated he didn't even stay after the announcement to checkout the car, that's on him. Also this was a reply to the parent comment talking about seeing the car.

I'm also not saying it was right for Tesla to ban him, that was shitty, but getting so angry over a late start and ranting about it in a blog post directed at Elon also wasn't a great choice.

Sorry, I did not realize it was hard to tell from his original post but he's extremely entitled, rude, and snobbish. He wrote personal attacks against the founder of a company for being late to an event and then complained about his expensive BMW.

I don't really have sympathy for anyone who thinks having to wait a little bit is grounds for someone else to be "ashamed" and to write TWO blog posts complaining about it.

He's a VC so he's used to people treating him like a king. He gets mildly inconvenienced one time and suddenly that's everyone else's problem? Nah, screw him. I would have done the same thing in Musk's shoes.
