    And yet, the best selling car in the world is the Tesla Model Y. Despite all the Musk hating.

      I’m on vacation r/n, the rental car is a Y. It’s all right, but not as fancy or premium as I was led to believe

      also the decision to route every feature of the car through the touchscreen console is fucking awful

      There are decisions I don’t want software taking away from me as a driver and this thing does too much of that

        I agree on the touchscreen, it’s absolutely awful. But if other automakers want people to buy their cars, they better actually make them purchasable. My parents have been on the waitlist for a Chevy Bolt for 6 months and aren’t anywhere near getting one, but they could have bought a Tesla same day at any point.

      I was thinking about this today as I was looking at a model y: “it’s all hype. The only reason people buy these things is because they idolize Elon and his ability to hype his own brand.” It’s 100% not because they believe in their heart of hearts that they’re buying a reliable vehicle(and they look cool); it seems like it’s pretty well-known at this point in time that Teslas are a low-quality product.
