Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

    now it’s quite clear that Tesla’s are quite shit to own and drive

    By whose metric? Tesla owners have a 97% approval rating. I know tons of people that drive Teslas and they have zero maintenance other than tires and windshield wiper fluid. Hate on Elon all you want, but to assume the cars are shit because he is shit is just juvenile.

      I mean I will readily accept that the internet is a fickle place and nothing is ever as black and white as it would seem but there has been a metric fucktonne of examples lately for why Teslas are just straight up bad cars. Cheap materials, poorly wired electronics, broken features, etc.

      Like just casually scroll through any car subreddit or other online forum and you’ll see people recording their Teslas just breaking down.

        My BIL just bought one, gas is around $6/gallon in Hawaii and there is basically no mass transport. He tried to buy another EV but there was a 6-8 month wait-list. He loves the car, it is what it is. QC has improved over the past few years.

        Zero maintenance is a bold claim. They have repair people that go to your house to replace parts when they break.

      Also, anytime when “97%” of people agree on something it’s the same as “97% of people voted for Putin, they all love him!” and you know it’s pulled out of some ass or another
