Tesla recalls millions of vehichles plastered on every major news site. When it is just an over the air software update.
Or Tesla the most unreliable car in the world, according to the most respected german organisation, yeah they counted those OTA updates.
If Tesla doesn’t like it, maybe they should fire him instead of paying him $30B.
For me, the most significant addition within 8 years of owning a Model 3 was the addition of waypoints in the trip planner. That's it.
Other car makers simply provide Android Auto/CarPlay and let users pick what they want to run.
Most of the other car makers weren't promising FSD next year for decades, or have their CEO giving the Roman Salute at MAGA rallies, or regularly having ketamine-fueled affluenza breakdowns on Twitter. Also, their ticker is a truly bizarre memestock.
There's easy targets, and there's painting one on your own back.
I for one can’t think of A SINGLE reason why anyone or any news outlet could criticize a nicer, more normal, grounded, unproblematic, controversial, or completely good and undeserving company than Tesla. /s There’s so much to like about EVs, and there’s no denying Tesla’s outsized role in bringing practical EVs to market, and kickstarting competition, which is mostly good, despite the tactics and controversy.
Trying to leave politics out of it, it’s also undeniable that Elon, in and out of his CEO role at Tesla, has done some really harmful, shitty, trust-destroying things. I think everyone can agree that reality cannot have possibly matched the hyperbole and marketing claims. The overpromising, and therefore untruths, good faith or no, alone are enough for me.
The dude’s fingerprints, and everything good and bad (mostly bad for some time now IMO) that come along with it, are all over Tesla.
