How does Tesla handle its social posts

Show the product doing what looks impossible

1. Show the product doing what looks impossible

One frame of white cars flying off a giant ramp on thruster trails looks impossible, and the caption What goes up must come down is a saying the image argues with, so fans supply the story themselves (replies tied it to the next gen Roadster). Elon Musk's escape velocity reply then gave it a second wave.

  1. Pick the frame where your product does something people think it cannot
  2. Caption it with a familiar saying the image breaks
  3. Leave the specs out so replies supply the story
  4. Have your founder reply with the punchline

Name the merch after features owners love

2. Name the merch after features owners love

Gifts named in the brand's own words, like Dog Mode, read as inside jokes for owners, and the pet on screen makes the collection feel warm instead of salesy.

  1. List the names and phrases your users already know
  2. Put them on a few small gifts
  3. Show the gifts in a warm scene, not a product grid
  4. List every item in the first reply
