Yyyyyyyup. I was hoping to get away from reddit’s hivemind of “Teslas are shit cars” but with Musk at the helm I don’t think that’s possible. Are they perfect? No. Are they awesome? IMO, yes.
Tesla’s are shit cars though, and it has nothing to do with Musk. They have little to no driver feedback. The UX of their driver control systems are unresponsive and require the driver to take their eyes from the road. The idea of self-driving cars is a pipe dream that solves zero problems and simply aggravates existing individual transport problems.
Cosmetic build quality issues aside, they require practically zero maintenance (tires and windshield fluid) and there are less moving parts to break. So far they’ve proven to be very reliable.
Driver feedback is subjective and I find your claim straight-up obtuse in meaning. I quite enjoy windy roads and the smoothness of the EV drivetrain.
The UX of my Tesla is practically-perfectly responsive and most of what you want to do has either physical or voice controls.
Autopilot is good bordering great but still needs work. FSD is indeed a pipe dream with the current fleet.
What are you even doing on the FuckCars section of this site anyway? Do you want to be congratulated for your sunk-cost fallacy
“Extra! Extra! Some people are idiots!”
Some people say smug things like that, but then spend a lot of money on bad purchases and need to tell internet strangers that those bad purchases must be good purchases and any evidence to the contrary is from a bad source because it isn’t a Tesla circlejerk in your favor.
love too have my self driving software turn off seconds before my car slams into a semi truck going 100mph, so I can be blamed posthumously for not having enough personal responsibility
Only the front doors have a manual release. So what will your child in the back seat do in the situation of a crash, and the battery is compromised causing a loss of power and threat of combustion?
That is kind of the funny thing about autos. Like most manufacturers are terrible in many ways. Environment, political, the way they treat people or how shitty their quality control is. Planned obsolescence. There is still a fake “supply demand” issue that they have literally concocted to jack prices through the roof. Literally price gouging asking 15k over MRSP because they pretend they have a supply issue lol.
All the US majors are in on this scam and it’s sad we don’t have a government worth a fuck to fight it…
Elon is just mouthy about it lol. I couldn’t even tell you who the CEO of GMC is. They are awful as well tho.
The problem unique to car companies is that the Repubs are beholden to the car companies and the only unions big enough and worth a shit in the US is the UAW, and Democrats are beholden to anything they need.
So you literally can’t do anything to regulate the industry without pissing off one or the other. The car companies will use any legislation raised against them to lay off union jobs.
Has really changed that much since a year ago? It was a massive endless circlejerk for the Church of E-L-O-N back then, up to and including “ironic” pictures of their lord and savior presented as a saint in antiquity-style paintings.
If you actually knew what you were talking about you’d know the consumer reports report referenced in the article weighs cosmetic issues as heavily as mechanical ones. It’s been talked about to death since it came out a while ago but yeah, nice yahoo link, bro.
Yeah; it’s very strange. The new online norm seems to be “don’t buy anything from a company if the primary person is a jerk.”
Meanwhile everyone online is buying stuff from jerks. They are just less vocal about it.
I REALLY don’t care to research every company I buy something from. Even if I know the primary person is a jerk, I still don’t care unless there is a near equal alternative.

Lol seriously? My passengers find the manual release by accident the first time they go to get out. It’s exactly where you would expect it to be.

Keep trying, bud.

Translates as: “I drive like an absolute cunt.”
Translates as: “I actually have no idea how this person drives.”
Did they fix the fact you can’t open the door from the inside if the power is out without an instruction manual and fingernails?

The fuck are you talking about? There is a regular-sized door handle right there.

Love your username.
Oh wow, I did not notice that. Now THAT is a problem.

Oh, no!
Anyways…
When you think a meme absolves you from being a credulous and gullible consumer in denial about sunk-cost fallacy.

Any source that makes you feel a hint of buyer’s remorse is a bad source.
I really feel sorry for the level of sunk-cost fallacy you’ve sunken to, all so your bazingamobile doesn’t seem like a bad choice.
Imagine thinking there’s wiggle room for a ton of major cosmetic problems on a product that costs a full year of an average worker’s income.
A ton?
The fucking body panels don’t even fit correctly.
Occasionally a Tesla will be delivered with a body panel that isn’t aligned appropriately. It is promptly aligned at no cost to the owner.
Again… a ton? Or are you just complaining about something you actually have no experience with just because you hate cars and hate Musk?
