Idk, I talked with a bartender once who said he thought it would be amazing to drive one, and I said I didn’t think I could stomach it because of Musk, and he said I shouldn’t get political over a car. Well, they don’t interest me enough to ignore the Elon part.
I rented one in California. I was never been so frustrated with a car before in my life. There are no knobs, for ANYTHING. Everything is done through the touchscreen. Try navigating the A/C system in traffic. Or as the sun goes down and the screen brightness doesn’t dim, blinding you as you drive. I will never buy a Tesla, and it starts with the UI of the car. Elon is just the icing on that shit cake.
I watched a friend of mine try to parallel park hers once and just about died laughing at how shit the autopark was. She said it kept determining that the right lane was actually the curb, so it would go through all of the motions of parking and then just stop in the middle of the street. Every time I read about or interact with a Tesla, I feel like I find out about something else they added because it looks or sounds cool but doesn’t actually work.
This is one of the criticisms of the car that hits home for me. People are now replacing old Teslas which they bought ‘full self driving’ for without ever receiving the feature.
Same exact story. The whole first 2 hours I’m constantly having my kids Google Google how to lock the car, how do we adjust the mirrors, how do we turn it on, how do we change the radio station, how do we turn on the air, etc etc etc. On the third day my daughter is just trying to open the door and she yells “why is this car so fucking annoying?!”
It’s obvious it was designed by a child trying to look cool to the other kids.

I HATE that the auto industry is moving to soft buttons for everything

That auto-drive-ready car will be ready for auto-drive any time now, we swear!

You can transfer your FSD license…
That’s a temporary thing to drive demand for this quarter, isn’t it?
Oh shit, yes, didn’t know that!

Love those door handles.
sorry auto dimming and extra brightness are upgrade features not yet in the implementation pipeline :( lmao
What? The climate controls are always visible… how hard is it to tap or slide your finger on them.
Since it was a rental someone before you probably turned off auto brightness controls.
The screen dims just fine on my 2019. A previous driver probably turned it off on yours for whatever reason.
I also hate the lack of knobs but the voice commands and steering wheel buttons work well enough that I’ve come to terms with it.
They’re just another hatchback and you can’t really tell that it’s a tesla except for the logo.
It always blows my mind that capitalists say “then just vote with your wallet” until you use your wallet to vote differently than they want.
But but but cancel culture!
