Audi Made an Ad for Tesla...not Smart [updated]

[UPDATED] If you know nothing about advertising, you must know the last thing your ads should do is help your competition. Audi’s ad “Musk Have” for an Electric Car that does not yet exist and won’t be on the market for another 2 years is an epic advertising fail. You’ll understand why and relive the classic comedy sketch that somehow make sense of it all....What’s the deal with Audi? Post Script NOTES: There have been other Auto Maker “Ad Fails” in their attempts to counter the Tesla electric car juggernaut for which their products are massively behind. Nissan came out with an ad for the Leaf the day after Tesla secured over 400,000 reservations , each at $1000 down, for the yet to be shipped Model 3. Nothing better to remind folks that yes, the Leaf is for sale, and no, you’d rather spend you money on an electric car that does not yet exist an probably wont for another 2 to 3 years. And BMW also tried to counter the Model 3 reservation success with an ad for the 330e, calling themselves “the other electric car company”. Big problem: not only is BMW NOT an electric car company, the 330e is a hybrid...that’s right, its not even an electric car. THE ONLY WAY the auto manufacturers will beat Tesla is not by bad advertising, but by quickly and decisively getting better products to market, specifically, electric cars. Otherwise, all their electric car ads will benefit Tesla, the only real brand in this space.
