We’ve known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it’s a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.

Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they’re not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we’ve seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?

If you’ve bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you’re a damn goober in my eyes. That’s my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don’t matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.

Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I’ve been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don’t understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.

    Could be dependant where they’re manufactured. We’ve about ten 3/Ys; non squeaks or rattles to my knowledge. I’ve had a Model S couple years ago (pre Model 3 era) liked the car, but the quality wasn’t there for the price. Had a Volco XC90 before that. Switched to a Model 3 for about 1-2 years, (tax reasons) - the build quality was bad…everything felt really cheap. After that We’ve got some of the first Model Ys from the German factory. (You get some tax incentives in Germany when your new EV is below 60k€). We’ve also got some 3s. The build quality difference was staggering. I still miss my Volvo…but the Model Y is close second. Just two days ago I’ve driven over 1000km across Germany…no squeaking. ;)

    Just the damn freezing door handles in winter drove me crazy…but now you can pop the doors open via app.
