We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.
Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they’re not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we’ve seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?
If you’ve bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you’re a damn goober in my eyes. That’s my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.
Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I’ve been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don’t understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.
I bought a new car a few months ago and really, really wanted to buy an EV. Problem is, I’m going to retire in a little over a year and told my wife she could pick where we move to. I don’t know where that’s going to be, or what the infrastructure in the area will be like. Also it’s very likely we’ll be taking a lot of driving trips, and reports from my friends who have EVs about cross country trips seem annoying to me - having to plan around where chargers are.
I ended up getting a Hyundai sonata hybrid, and I’m very happy with it. It’s a good-sized sedan, but I get between 40 and 50 MPG, which is more than double was I was getting in my prior car. I’m pretty sure my next car (my wife’s next car, really) will be an EV assuming we move before we buy it.
