Never understood why people would spend their hard earned money on a garbage car marketed by a garbage man.
Since then, it's become evident that the quality issues are not fleeting but systemic and endemic. A neighbor has two Teslas and complained they are always in the shop.
And the leader? Once he started openly arguing software, which I know a little bit about, it became obvious that he is clueless amd a bullying, blustering, fraud. Confirmed when I read that SpaceX has a team dedicated to managing Elon, like an internal immune system.
There's now no way I'd consider any of his products.
- Tesla's not a garbage car; in fact, I prefer it over every other EV I've driven so far, and I've driven several. Our Model 3s are super fun to drive.
- The Supercharger network truly makes charging an afterthought. This is not the case at all with non-Tesla EVs, unfortunately. Of course, this is irrelevant if you mostly charge at home and don't road trip your car very often.
- There is no-one or nothing close to Tesla's in-car experience. The app is incredible, the UX on Tesla's system is second-to-none (systems on every other EV that haven't yet just given up and went to Google Automotive is kludgey as hell)
- FSD is not fully self-driving but it is, by far, the best autonomous driving experience possible, especially with its most current iteration (FSD 12). I hardly drive when I use it, which is all of the time.
