      Intended to be a friendly reminder

      Tesla owner ≠ muskonite

      The cars literally changed the way they evaluate safety when the model s was released when i read about them in car and driver magazine many moons ago

      Im writing this only in response to your edit. Because it was getting unearable on reddit any time someone mentioning they own a tesla and enjoy it, the people who hate elon come brigade and just shit all over someone because they bought a car they liked and admited they own one.

      Can we just please remember that everything isnt always connected the way you assume it is. Give people the benefit of the doubt, and only call out what is stated and not just tangentially connected?

      Ive been enjoying lemmy so far, and i have hope it will not become the cesspool other spaces have, but it wont happen if we cant agree to disagree and let other people be without accusing them of everything you fear or just hate without them indicating they are what you fear or hate.

        Your comment is worthless.

        I never conflated Tesla owners with Elmo fans. In fact, I exclusively said Elmo fans OR Tesla owners who regret their purchase.

        Don’t come after me with your bullshit when you’re actively inventing the boogeyman you’re saying is chasing you.

        You can enjoy your garbage car. I never said you couldn’t and I never said you were a bad person for liking it. I actively like garbage things too. Just don’t try and argue that its well made and we are fine.

        However, congrats on directly proving me right. Tesla owners in general are fragile little creatures with massive egos.

            Well it’s a bit of a failure given I didn’t do anything that you accused me of. Not my fault you happen to fit perfectly into the stereotype lol

            Again, try not inventing shit to get upset about! It’ll make you less of a garbage human being and it’ll make others more likely to engage with you beyond belittling your ‘contributions’ to the conversation.

    They really should disaggregate recalls fixed with OTA updates from recalls that need a physical intervention. Obviously Teslas almost always need an OTA update

      True, but Tesla having people beta test for them while in extremely fast and heavy metal boxes seems irresponsible.

          No, they are cheap because Tesla built extremely efficient factories, assembly lines and car designs from the start. Try to look up the differences between Tesla and other manufacturers like VW, Toyota etc…

            I was joking, they aren’t cheap, they’re average priced for a subpar car. The Ford Maverick is $25,000, a whopping $10,000 cheaper than the Model 3.

            Edit: I’m stupid, I thought the Ford Maverick was the EV model. It’s in fact the Ford Lightning, which starts at $50,000. Teslas are in fact cheap.

              Why are you comparing a compact Tesla to Ford trucks? Teslas are definitely expensive. And the model 3 isn’t $35k, it’s more like $50k.

            efficiency is when you have to recall your cars the most out of anybody because it’s more efficient to get them out the door and in to the suckers customers hands and then fix them later

    I am still waiting for a day of no frills EVs or just more no frills cars in general. Less crap in the way to repair and whatnot. But all I see passing car lots are bigger vehicles that look like they have so much stuff in them.

    We need like a Kirkland brand EV. Unless I am an idiot and people don’t want stuff like that.
