    What are we doing criticizing tesla? I’m by no means endorsing Elon musk but I think it’s best not to get cought up in the politics of this all, teslas are still some of the best value electric cars.

        Ok i’m willing to die on this hill. I completly agree with you on the cybertruck, it is a truck and trucks suck. But as for the smaller cars the dangrous fudge on wheels part is probably due to people misusing the self-driving feature, if you use your tesla like a normal car and not like a self driving car then it is really good.

        On second thoughts the main issue of tesla seams to be that they have horrible quality control, which definitely sucks.

          Honestly with traditional car manufacturers now also offering very affordable options in direct competition to the model 3, I think there are several better value options, at least here in Europe.

          The design philosophy of removing all physical buttons is also just plain stupid. Tbf, some other manufacturers also do this, but rarely as bad, and most are starting to backpedal.

            I totally agree. It’s easy to be awed by less buttons and a bigger screen but when your driving and trying to adjust the air conditioner by opening the menu and pressing the “fan down” button 3 times, it’s so much more annoying not to mention dangerous when compared to a simple tactile knob.

      Teslas suck for many reasons, Elon aside. Seriously just do some surface level research and you’ll realize how silly your comment is.

      Maybe in the beginning Tesla had good engineers. Now those engineers left and the remaining engineers, well it seems they have no say to improve things or aren’t that good. Tesla is constantly covering up all the issues with their vehicles. Elon has done his best to use political connections to increase sales and make it harder for competitors to compete. Even had Trump doing an ad for Tesla right infront of the Whitehouse. I wouldn’t ever buy any Tesla manufactured these days, wouldn’t even take it for free with all the safety concerns.

      Well because buying a Tesla is funding a nazi and the world will be better if we peer pressure people away from giving money to a nazi scumbag.
