I guess if it’s ok to trash Elon Musk for great things he has done (see the post above I replied to), it should also be fair to criticize him for what he has done wrong.
But my issue with Tesla is not so much with Elon being a great guy or a RINO. I just don’t like EV cars in general. I don’t buy into green propaganda and apply critical thinking to serve my individual needs instead (not the interests of some corrupt organizations who will make billions on the trumped up agenda/ideology). When I look and compare EV cars to their combustive engine counterparts, CEs win hands down. I would may be consider some PHEVs with the same rebates, but will not touch EVs, as they are currently designed. I think there is a good reason why many of them lose 60%-70% in value quickly after buying/leasing. Tesla may hold its value, but it’s still hideous car, with relatively short range. A Porsche wannabe outside, cheap American made car inside. And a battery to spend hours to charge, unless you want to spend $40000-$100000 to install fast charger at home, or drive around looking for available fast charge station in your daily use.
Okay, it is a difficult decision to start this topic. I know there are tons of Tesla fans in the US. I don’t want this topic to become a battleground. I just want to have a space for the people who don’t like Tesla can speak out their opinions.
Strat from me:
The wipers never brush when you want them to.
The windows were always as if they were not closed tightly, and the wind made a lot of noise.
The suspension is rubbish. They gave me a concussion and no comfort at all.
My friend was involved in a traffic accident while using a Tesla Autopilot.
Insurance is expensive, and so is car repair.
There are a lot of minor problems and the service center is irresponsible.
They don’t lease as well as other EVs. The cheapest Model 3 is $517/mo with $2433 drive-offs. There are so many other EVs that are less.
I don’t qualify for the $7500 fed credit on purchase, and I’m not going to pay $7500 more than joe blow.
Finally, my biggest reason is that too many people drive Teslas. The number of Teslas on the road is just getting ridiculous. I mean, good for Elon, but it would be nice to have some variety.
Plenty of criticism of Tesla incl from yours truly.
But the best way for a forum to work is to contain all the shitposting both for and against a divisive topic. There are just way too many fanbois and haters wanting to derail every topic.
That feature friggin’ worked like 50% of the time. When it doesn’t work then you’re standing next to your Tesla fumbling around trying to find your stupid key card. iPhone13 Pro Max.
