    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.

      Counterpoints:

      • 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.
      • It’s fast as fuck.
