      Ewww.

      Also, have you ever tried to get into the back seat of a Tesla? It’s like they didn’t even think about adults getting into the back seat of that thing.

        I did once a few years ago and one example of wtf were they thinking…

        They bothered to have heated seats in the back, but no way for a rear occupant to actually control it. You had to ask someone in the front to adjust it for you using that stupid touch screen

    Shit. I wouldn’t buy one before Leon let the nazi out because they don’t support CarPlay, imagine now.

    No, not even if Elon divested.

    Teslas are bad cars. They are unsafe cars. They are very expensive for what they do.

    They are electric, but there are better, cheaper electric cars.

    They are also highly connected cars, which unfortunately is the same as all current cars.

    My ideal next car would be a 2015 Accord, with no GSM/LTE connectivity.

      Exactly, even minus the Nazi thing they are terrible products. And they’ve been terrible for a while. The only good things were the first mover advantage, battery tech and supercharger network.

      Meanwhile the competitors like BYD have caught up.

        I don’t get how they allowed the handles to not actually open the doors.

    I’ve always been a bit disturbed at the sheer volume of telemetry they collect.

    I was happy that Tesla existed, as it helped give the auto industry the kick in the pants it needed, but I can never see myself actually buying one. My next car won’t be domestic.

    My good ‘friend’, Ramzan Kadyrov had his cybertruck remotely disabled by Elon Musk.

    That is enough reason to not buy a Tesla, no?
