My neighbor across the street "actually owns" a Tesla car. Bought it just this weekend. And when I talked to him yesterday, he was talking about returning it because it doesn't have parking sensors, which is the topic at hand.

But don't just take my word on it, plenty folks who actually own a Tesla are commenting on this very page, and some of them are not flattering toward Tesla.

I test drove a Model 3 recently and wasn't impressed at all. I would never buy the car, on its own and with so many news stories like this where they are cutting costs for lower feature set essentially.

It's an econo shitbox sold at premium price with dubious software to increase their margins, with removals decided on a whim by an egomaniac idiot.

Is this your first time in an EV-related thread on HN? This is mostly par for the course.

How old is yours? I.e., does yours still have the hardware they've been removing lately?

Maybe the negative posts watched the video in the article.
