PSA: musk is a fascist and Nazi. Buying cars from Tesla directly supports him and thus all the terrible things he does. There are lots of much better electric cars if that’s what you want
If my options are ripped off by a fascist or ripped off by not a fascist, then yes, I’ll choose to be ripped off by not a fascist. The fuck kind of argument did you think you were making?
Rich coming from the person trying to justify Tesla cars as not a ripoff when they’re some of the worst shit to come out of North America in the past few decades, equipped with a ripoff self-driving technology that doesn’t work even though it was promised to be coming as a fully fledged feature a decade ago, and which has been getting charged as a complete feature for just as long.
Maybe, just maybe, the ultra-billionaire fascist asshole who’s hoarding wealth by inflating his companies’ stock prices doesn’t have his costumer’s best interests in mind. I know, shocking, moral values kinda correlate with whether you’re getting ripped off or not, its a crazy concept, and one that the MAGA folks so desperately think they understand but they sorely don’t.
You’re paying extra because there’s no competition. There’s no competition because the same people profiting off of your naivete uses that profit to buy your government and make your laws.
There really aren’t. No car has gotten anywhere close to the level of tech in Tesla. But sure, let’s ignore that and spend more on shittier car because FUCK YOU. no nice things for you while there are hungry kids in Africa!
Yes the pinnacle of tech where you can’t get out of car is on fire. And no removing speaker grills to find a latch is not an acceptable solution when your panicking.
Surely if that was such a problem and wide spread, it wouldn’t be allowed nor the best selling car worldwide? But hey, I’m sure your Chinese car does a lot better! And isn’t causing an actual ban to happen…
There were numerous government investigations into various Tesla issues, but he DOGEd them right out of existence, so a cringy asslicking PedoCon like you can say “If they were so bad, why doesn’t the government stop them?”
No car has gotten anywhere close to the level of tech in Tesla.
Not really, and you have to consider a lot of ‘tech’ is useless crap nobody cares about like door handles that recede into the vehicle.
People literally just want an electric motor instead of an ICE. Dumb shit like touchscreens and tracking because companies charge more for each “feature” than it actually costs to implement.
Okay but like … In my and the other user’s opinion there are better cars at the same or cheaper price point for what you get.
I mean I’m not going to write a whole article on it here but I don’t think it’s fair for you to act like Tesla has some magical monopoly on tech in their cars that other manufacturers are lacking. You could argue full self driving mode, maybe, but everything else exists in their competition too.
Besides even full self driving has its own problems.
Fuck self drive. There are individual things some will do better, but as a package? Tesla is unbeatable. I’ll paste what I’ve written earlier s to what makes Tesla the best:
Efficiency - 4 miles per kWh minimum. Obviously that’s for saloon / hatchback. Something like model y size 3.5 is acceptable. And this is something I want to verify myself, very few cars achieved this in my test drive.
Key less entry - I’m too used to it. I don’t want to go back to having to carry keys. I leave the house with just my phone and watch, both can pay for things and open things. They’re locked behind my biometrics so I deem it safe.
Sentry + dashcam - again, this is minimum in today’s day and age to me. The car should always be recording. I’m not getting 3d party camera in a car I already paid +40k for.
Fleet control - this is very country dependent. I can charge my car using wall plug and get super cheap rate or use a dummy charger which isn’t connected to my electricity supplier and the car will let them know how much electricity the car used and it’ll adjust on my bill. In quantifiable terms, this is a saving of 1/4th of charging cost or one of payment of £900 for installing compatible charger per location.
Boot space - I have family, space is needed. The easiest thing for cars to achieve really.
Software - be it accurate navigation, route planning or the touch and feel of it. Tesla Navigation is one I have most experience in. But I have serious confidence in it. I have arrived at home with 0% charge several times because the car said it could. It also got us through insane storm where it also accurately calculated the extra battery drain due to elevation and wind. Do other cars do it? Do they do it well? I know one thing, using Google / apple car play circumvent the in car navigation and charge networks so the built in map is actually important. One day hopefully they start supporting cars and then it’ll be non issue.
People hate on screen only, but I genuinely have never had problems with it. My wife also has no issues opening glove box, adjusting AC or changing songs or putting gps…
Driver safety - this is fairly high on the list of things which will male me hate the car. When you watch a car review. Pay attention to when they say “it’s super easy to turn off driver attention system!” THAT is a red flag. A car shouldn’t have such abysmal safety measures they’re annoying and you need to turn them off each drive because they self turn on. MG has the most annoying one and the dealer HAS LITERALLY TURN THEM OFF IN FRONT OF ME before letting me drive the car. I can’t express how bad some of these are.
Auto steer and cruise control - pretty much standard now days. I don’t need FSD, just simple keep this speed and don’t crash and on motorway, keep in the lane for me. Tesla autopilot is very good but others have come a long way over the 8 years.
Look - I want a sporty looking car and interior I want it to be leather like feel, no fabric, no tacky “recycled” look. I’m paying serious money and I want some comfort. It’s a low bar and pretty much any car I’ve test driven in the price range has been good enough comfort wise. I personally like minimalistic, but I’m not opposed to say the Taycan level.
This has been fun to type out. I hope it makes sense. There were many cars which almost made it. I’m waiting for Xpeng test drive which promises all these things. So we shall see. Our model 3 has 91k on it. It’s still a great car and if we need to spend another 3 years with it waiting for something new? That’s fine.

Not just buying.
Even if you had yours from the salute, or whatever, he’s still using your driving data to train their self driving softwares.
They’re still selling your data to whoever, too.
Including actions and conversations in and around the vehicle.
Crazy how this is what determines how most of you spend your money, not whether what you’re buying is a good deal or not.
If you consider it crazy to fight fascism, maybe you are a fascist.
Nah. The crazy part is how they think it’s okay to be ripped off as long as it’s not by a fascist.
If my options are ripped off by a fascist or ripped off by not a fascist, then yes, I’ll choose to be ripped off by not a fascist. The fuck kind of argument did you think you were making?
Don’t get ripped off.
I know, that’s a foreign concept to most of you.
What car deal would end with me not getting ripped off in your humble opinion?

I’m literally saying Teslas are a ripoff.
You’re paying extra because there’s no competition. There’s no competition because the same people profiting off of your naivete uses that profit to buy your government and make your laws.
Logic isn’t your strong suit, huh
How so?
“There are better cars”
There really aren’t. No car has gotten anywhere close to the level of tech in Tesla. But sure, let’s ignore that and spend more on shittier car because FUCK YOU. no nice things for you while there are hungry kids in Africa!
Buy what you want, he’s set for life regardless.
Tesla EV technology hasn’t changed in 10 years, and those cars are the bottom of the list for reliability.
10 years of no change and still ahead you say???
Yes the pinnacle of tech where you can’t get out of car is on fire. And no removing speaker grills to find a latch is not an acceptable solution when your panicking.

Their cars suck. They’re poor quality and unsafe.
Can you find some actual point except same old parroted one? “Poor quality”, the fuck does that even mean?
Not really, and you have to consider a lot of ‘tech’ is useless crap nobody cares about like door handles that recede into the vehicle.
People literally just want an electric motor instead of an ICE. Dumb shit like touchscreens and tracking because companies charge more for each “feature” than it actually costs to implement.
There’s no alternative to sentry and keyless entry. Also no fleet control for cheap charging.
Maybe Rivian or lucid does, but they’re not in Europe. And have their own issues.
If your argument is “oh I don’t care so neither should you”, it’s a shitty argument.
