Been driving this for +5000km, it is very good :)
True that. And despite all of the backlash against EM (much of which I think well-founded) I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Tesla (planning to trade my 2018 M3 in on a refreshed M3 next year).
I mean I’m a Tesla owner but be careful with this statement. I could see someone else replying with something like: “Regardless of hitlers views those train systems and highway systems were really good”
They really do, it's unfortunate all the politics are completely overshadowing the release of the new Y it's a truly amazing vehicle (as is my 24 model S).

Honestly, ioniq 5 and a number of Chinese brands completely outdo it already. I think once (or if) Chinese brands make it to the US at the rate they are taking Europe, you'll have a different opinion. Acceleration though, I gotta give that to Tesla, but do you need escape velocity in you car?

Imagine comparing Elon Musk to Hitler who literally had millions of people executed and caused the deaths of millions of soldiers and civilians by starting WWII.
They do, and theirs are the only ones that keep getting better the days after you buy them with OTA upgrades. I barely ever drive myself — FSD is my pilot and I’m the copilot. Tesla still has their groove. Their investors believe in the vision and anyone not on board isn’t bought in to TSLA. That’s how it should be for this company. They don’t seek to become another GM. The vision is bigger than that.

I never understood the hate before all the DOGE stuff. Tesla was the first new American Automaker outside of the big 2, which people love to hate on. Tesla made a name for itself, no ads, no marketing, just word of mouth. The Supercharger network is a huge plus and from what I know the only Level 3 widely available. My SO had a Ioniq5 rental and had range anxiety all the time. Tesla has the trip planner making charging easy. People I know hate on Teslas, but as soon as they ride in mine they like it. I love my ‘24 Model Y and would only trade it in for the Juniper. The only downside has been some quality control things that I was able to get fixed through the SC or through my own investigations. I also wish FSD was per driver and not per car. I’ve driven over 8000 miles and have enjoyed every mile of it.

Maybe I got a bad batch, but the model y we have is the most uncomfortable, harshest ride, and most frustrating car I’ve ever used. The auto windshield wipers are unbearable in any rain conditions, and the screen controlling everything is incredibly annoying and unintuitive, especially when it updates every month and the layout changes. Not to mention the fact every auto manufacturer copied it and rarely any knew cars just have a knob for the ac controls
[removed]
They did not say musk is like hitler. They took hitler as an example to show that it can be morally complicated to separate the art from the artist. They took an extreme example because it highlights their reasoning and everyone is aware of it. They could have said "it’s like when Alberto fucks your wife but you still buy his sandwiches because they are the best" or "it’s like when you hear Acme Apparel exclusively uses forced child labour but you still buy their hoodies because they are so cheap"
No you are spot on, people in this sub just have never owned a non Tesla EV.

Yes, I agree. The new Y is very impressive. I've been tempted to upgrade from my 2020 MYLR, but it's paid off and no car payment is way more appealing.

I have a model 3 and have to say, I’m grateful to be in South FL where I have much less worry about someone vandalizing it…. Perks of living in one of the reddest counties I guess lol
Were they?
You bought the car knowing this and are surprised it annoys you? That makes zero sense unless it was an impulse buy.
I’ve been a “new car” guy my entire life. Owned over 30 cars in my 35 years of driving. Generally one every 2 years but sometimes at a year. The Tesla is the longest I’ve owned a car in my life. 2018 M3 dual motor, long range, white interior black exterior, and the only vehicle that could pull me away from BMW. I was a BMW junkie for 10 yrs and tried to leave twice only to come back within a year. At year two of owning the Tesla, I paid it off because this car leaves me wanting for nothing. At year 6 now, I am thinking about upgrading the computer but even there I’m fine with the original kit. I love this car. Always have.
Alberto is fucking your wife too? Wow that guy gets around. He is quite charming.

They are great vehicles and the only big American manufacturer. I'd be curious about the losers who are overreacting on Tesla.... what they think when they find out about chase bank, Ford, IBM, Volkswagen etc and their ties with the real you know who's. The real ones, who actually waged global war and performed actual mass systematic murder across a continent. I'm sorry it's such a stupid angle, it's Idiocracy.

Tesla makes a great car but I do find that the pre-Juniper Ys have a pretty rough ride for passengers, feels much more like an old Civic than a middle of the road mid-size SUV like a RAV4. I've found a road trip in the backseat of a Y to be pretty uncomfortable due to ride quality. After test-driving the Juniper it feels like they've improved on that alot.
It is. I love the new y. However, Tesla has no one to blame but themselves. It would have been easy to not get involved in politics but their ceo went out of their way to offend their largest consumer base. There’s a reason I don’t know the political opinion of pretty much any major ceo out there. Even the ones who stood on stage at the inauguration aren’t necessarily making a political statement. There’s that and there’s what teslas ceo is doing (which is basically becoming a politician themselves and becoming the biggest single donor in the nation).

My 2022 Y Performance rides like a Radio Flyer wagon. Even with 18'"wheels and better tires. It's oddly stiff over bumps but not firm in corners. We hate using it for road trips. I loved my early 18 Model 3 and wish we never upgraded. The Juniper is a lot better but still not perfect but we've decided to not give any more money to Tesla right now.

I mean this doesn’t have enough upvotes. Best car to own for the last decade
Pretty sad if you base a car purchase off of politics
Weird shit, ain’t it……. I’m 100% behind Elon, AS A BRAIN, all his companies are F’ing brilliant….. As a person, NOT so much. And yes, you can do that! Cheers kids🥃
I wanted an ioniq 5 so bad before i bought my tesla! But the price for the tesla was just so much better and now you couldn’t pry this thing out of my cold dead hands
Simply the best indeed. Believe me, I’ve looked long and hard at the alternatives. I recently drove an $80k Genesis EV for a week and wasn’t impressed. They didn’t get the fundamentals right. Short of shelling out for a Rivian or Lucid, I firmly believe there is nothing on even on par with a Tesla.
Not to mention the ioniq 5 is debatably ugly. And i haven’t seen an ugly tesla
Henry Ford has also entered the chat.
Elon could have done everything he did in terms of his actual actions (DOGE, backing Trump etc) and received a fraction of the backlash if he didn't insist on trolling for maximum reaction from people. Also chiming in on pointless somewhat hateful topics like the trans stuff, or politics in other countries. At this point, he is what he is, he has always been super unhinged, but he has zero self awareness that he played a big role in the whole situation.
He’s always been unhinged but he didn’t really comment on politics until like 5 years ago. I think covid restrictions were the turning point.

I've test driven the entire line at this point, and the 3 is incredibly fun to drive. Reminds me a lot of when I had a 3 series BMW how it feels. The performance version must be an absolute blast.
The ‘trans stuff’ is a big part of why he dove into politics.
it's crazy how much that stuff has all died down, just need some new topic of the day and it will be forgotten
I've seen conversations around the ioniq 3 looks being meh but nothing about the 5, what do you not like about it?

I would have upgraded to the new Y next year but it’s 84k cad vs 69k cad and I can’t really rationalize that. The tariff hike was rough, I can’t imagine how many new buyers are being gated by that I may as well wait for HW5 before upgrading at this point
What are those wheels?
Agreed OP. There are a lot of quality engineers that made a fantastic product. I love my Tesla
Yea I agree. I survived a full on collusion in a Y last year and found out they automatically generate a crash report we can download. That saved me when my family ultimately got sued. Went and bought the same model without second thoughts because of that.
To be fair, people who compare Musk to Hitler are some of the dumbest people in society. Ignore them.
They were first to mass market but it feels like they've gone stagnant the last few years. Failed to deliver on the cybertruck while GM has their 200kw pack in their hummer/trucks. I really do hope things turn around for them.
I have my reservations. After a few months (it's been 4 years now, 2021 M3 LR, bought right after the refresh to chrome delete door handles and such) I would have preferred a few more physical buttons and a dash in front of the steering wheel would have been nice. Mine is very noisy on the highway. However, almost 0 maintenance, not having to go to a gas station, rarely charging outside of my home (I'm a hermit, don't travel much), it's definitely been a great vehicle and I can't really complain overall. 36k miles and I haven't had to do a damn thing to this car aside from fill the washer fluid and rotate the tires.
I think Tesla's way ahead on tech, but other EVs beat it on driver amenities.
Agree.
Wholesome and true.
Thank you
The new Y is phenomenal. I’m glad I stuck to my gut and got the vehicle I kept circling back to. It’s fits all my needs and is, to me, close to any luxury EV I drove.
Same, love the car. Surprisingly solid in two of day trip we had this year. Really hope there is a head-up display, but that is not a deal breaker
I knew this was the Nacka supercharger instantly! 😂
It’s the best car no doubt. Especially the refresh model 3 performance. Amazing piece of engineering
agreed.. tech and efficiency. My highland is getting 200Wh/mi, just insane the difference in long distance travel compared to my polestar
Absolutely love my model 3 and FSD
The auto wiper thing is really overblown though. You just leave them off and when it rains you tap the wiper button in a similar way you'd activate on a gas car's stalk
The frustrating user controls really kill me because it’s self inflicted. They could easily fix the rain sensor and ac controls but refuse. Otherwise the GUI the controls are in a different league compared to other cars.
> It would have been easy to not get involved in politics but their ceo went out of their way to offend their largest consumer base. It's because Elon is not just thinking about what's best for the future of the company (though that too), but also the future of the world. Time and time again, even when he voted left (Biden included), he and his companies were attacked by the left from multiple angles. The Left (of which I partially subscribe) lost Elon and they're gonna have to do ***a lot*** to win him back. [Here's CNN lamenting](https://www.reddit.com/r/elonmusk/comments/1fzz86k/cnn_panel_discusses_how_the_democrats_lost_elon/) over what they could have done to stop the switch.

So it’s up to Elon to solve the problems of the world? If I’m a shareholder, and I used to be, I would want Elon to run the company and let someone else run the world.
Yeah. Henry was great on stage with the president.
I did this in Nov 24 for the new M3 performance. The HW4 is a huge upgrade, the solid door sound when closing and fit and finish inside is incredible The white seats are still up for debate, I think my 2018 vinyl leather held up better, but it might be too soon to tell.
Definitely agree I hav 3 vehicles 2 r gas I hardly drive them anymore and there nice vehicles too but not as sweet as my Model 3 Performance
They look like part of the Performance package upgrade On tesla app seems like for $6500 or $5500 cant remember
Well despite the fact that this is a lie, I don’t drive the car that often and every time I get in it I don’t want the already unintuitive controls to move places
Ioniq 5 is gorgeous, it won lots of awards for a reason. I like the new 3 design though.
The ride is a lot better in new 3/Y to be fair.
Never once been on a flight with free starlink...
I live in the Bay Area, Teslas everywhere. I know quite a few owners and the reviews are…mixed. A lot of complaints about their customer service as well.
2500 miles is like 2 months of driving average
I"ve been testing dozens of EV's but I never disliked the issues mentioned here. Definitely not the harshest (have you tried a Spark EV? lol). But its tuned to be in between rode feel and comfort. Cybertruck is next level in terms of suspension though.
So you don’t use cruise control? Just give me a plain cruise - no auto wipers going on a bluebird winter day and no flashing headlights up and down
What’s the gripe with the AC controls? Haven’t heard that before and I quite like the automatic climate control.
Yes they do
It looks hideous. Anyone can just buy those tinpot awards.
Rarely if I'm being honest because my highway time during my daily commute is less than 3 minutes and it's not effective on streets.
Absolutely love mine!
They really do that without you having to ask for it? That is something they really should promote more. It's small things like that which make Tesla different. Happy to hear you're okay!
I like my car. I always have and still do.
Just curious as someone who has no clue on cars. How do Teslas stack up against BYD? Is Tesla still the Gold standard for EV?
This. I also love my Model 3 Performance. I fell in love the first time I drove a Tesla. Tried test driving other EVs. They were not it. Before driving the Tesla, I was convinced that I was going to get the Mach-E. After driving the Tesla, though, everything else just seemed inferior.
For many Tesla owners their Tesla is the cheapest car they've owned - coming from luxury car brands. I always wonder if they're the ones complaining about the ride. Coming from Mazdas and Hondas I find my MY quite comfortable
Let’s agree to agree.
Very true about the covid stuff
Cybertruck?
My favorite response to people when they ask my thoughts about owning a Tesla. I bought a great car. I didn’t buy it for a political statement then and I don’t continue to own it now as a political statement. It was then and remains the best car I’ve owned (with Audi, Porsche, BMW, Range Rovers and more in my history).
Are you me?
Predictable since these things always ebb and flow, and yet it always feels so permanent while the outrage is new
I got so many things that didn't need fixed, fixed before my warranty ended and they did all but but one. Im happy to have had such a good experience with the service center.
People who couldn't name the branches of government are now political influencers
Agree. Took delivery of our new Model Y today and driving home on the interstate, it was very quiet, unlike the noisy boom box 2020 Model Y we upgraded from. There was a ring on the driver seat (from some sort of cleaner bottle, it appeared) which the delivery helper person wiped up with a rag when we pointed it out and the glove box wouldn't open, so he showed us a trick: for first open, open passenger door, and gently pull on the right edge of the lid when tapping the open button. It worked perfectly thereafter. I used a pretty comprehensive delivery checklist and the only "issue" was that the left taillight assembly was a couple millimeters proud of the surrounding body panels compared to the flush mount of the right assembly. My wife and I looked at it and agreed, "This is probably the last time we'll ever notice that, moving on." (I poked and prodded the assembly to see if it was loose or something and it didn't appear to be.) On the drive home, we discussed that if someone were to make a superior self-driving solution in the future, we'd be open to trying it, but until that happens, thrilled with our purchase (especially with tax credit and FSD transfer). We've been driving Teslas since 2017 and, in our view, the hardware and software just keeps getting better and better.
Any time a new graphics card is released, I'm tempted to upgrade. But I have to calm down and evaluate if my current graphics card is a bottleneck or not for the games I'm playing. The best solution is just to stop reading Anandtech until I *need* to upgrade.
They skyrocketed the electric car industry and they continue to make some of the best cars on the planet, I doubt there would be many EVs on the road if it wasn't for Tesla taking the risk.
Guys, please read the rules before you post: “Mentioning Elon Musk inappropriately in discussions will lead to a ban”
I have kids in car seats, they don’t weight enough to trip the sensors and turn on the rear AC. So literally every. Single. Time. I get in the car it’s 4 button clicks. Allowing users to save a default is simple but they think their system is perfect and it’s unnecessary.
Why do you post here?
Wheels
Tesla *used to* be the best electric car in the USA but they stopped innovating or upgrading their same 4 models several years ago and other manufactures have far surpassed them. We aren't in 2017 anymore
The sound system in them are really good too.
I haven't tested the latest Highland / Juniper stuff yet so I'm hopeful. All my prior tests left me with that tin can feeling. In particular the booming noises over bumps really bothered me. Apparently there's a small percentage of the population that gets that booming sensation in their brains, and I am unfortunately in that group. It's like a massive subwoofer going off. If the improvements to NVH are as good as the reviews make them out to be, I would definitely consider one.
Teslas today still outperform most EV makers on efficiency. The end.
I agree, the vehicle is awesome!
Funny because people either love or hate the ioniq 6 theres no in between. I happen to love the way it looks but thats just me
As fellow BMW junkie Tesla is most unintuitive and worst car to drive once I hvae experiences the luxury of my BMW. I really dont know what you liked about BMW that you see in Tesla but it cant be the things BMW is known for.
Yeah. I had minimal problems for the first 5000km / 3000mi for each car I’ve bought new. It’s important, but it’s a pretty low bar. The real question is how well they keep performing after 100,000km (or more).
> The Left (of which I partially subscribe) lost Elon and they're gonna have to do a lot to win him back. Guy's reputation is tainted for a decade at least. No one wants him back, or just the ones desperate for money.
Especially the new model Y that things amazing
I just never use the “auto wipers.” I came from a Honda so I don’t mind some things still being “manual.” I like the car otherwise.
Why set that a criteria? Of course you can almost always find some other car with same feature, but no car with all the same features. E.g. Matrix headlights over a year ago were a great addition. Sure, many other cars has it as well, but it's mostly high-end models and as an additional package. In Teslas it's been included in all cars for a long time.
Or simply been professional and officially stepped away from the company to do his government work. It’s not as though he needed the salary to pay his bills..
The build quality and attention to detail is superb. No other car brand can match Teslas panel gaps.
So you're saying tesla is worse than a dozen other manufacturers that you can just leave auto wipers on and leave it alone? With this car, I have to actively change it every time, which they make as hard as possible by limiting it to the screen. Before you say something, no I don't want to activate my wipers just to be able to turn them off on a sunny day.
It's sad that you live in such a country. I'm from a country where the people have differing views on politics, but nobody is gonna go vandalise anybody's property because of differing political views.
Is it the juniper or old one?
My MYLR was wrecked and I've transitioned back to a car with normal controls. I'm also a gamer and can handle different methods of controlling things. The wiper controls were awful. Click the button and scroll, maybe that's ok. But further clicks change the speed too, to go faster, so if you want the wipers slower you have to click down twice. Miserable.
I’m close to the plunge myself. I’m likely a couple of weeks out from committing to the model Y Juniper, 2026 refresh. I do have curiosity about the performance edition - but 10 grand more, unless that comes with lifetime unlimited supercharging, I wouldn’t get it anyway. Just not sure ultra red, is actually red. In person it looks more wine colored. Almost verging on burgundy. I was hoping for more pop, like a candy shell red – more like the Mazda CX series red. Now that has pop. Still you don’t buy a car for the color of its skin.
Nacka Supercharger 😜
I kept reading that Teslas are essentially a giant computer with a car strapped to it vs a car with a computer strapped to it. I never understood it until I got into a few and now I get it. The Tesla is meh, I know saying that in this sub will get me downvotes. However every Tesla I've been in has been creaky, felt like it had the same plasticky quality build as a Nissan. Vs hopping into a Mercedes or BMW everything feels like a tight fit with no rattling or creaking. Teslas are cars made by techies, Mercedes/BMW are cars made by actual car people. And any car should be able to reach 50k miles without an issue. Thats like bare minimum these days
The history of Silicon Valley offers many examples of great tech companies ruined by dumb top management.
My theory was it was astroturf disinformation campaigns by every incumbent legacy auto company, oil industry, and various nation states that had a lot on the table to lose from the green energy transition. Then just the general Reddit loves to hate on any company that does well. But that was before all the DOGE drama.
They are still the most American made vehicles. Additionally, get any EV and you’ll still probably be supporting Tesla by using their charging network.
💯 It’s about the car, the technology and safety. People don’t buy a Tesla car because of the company’s owner.
I mean, this recent update was nice. By the way my 2014 Model S still gets updates :). Do other car manufacturers update their 11 year old cars still? My other cars get to enjoy newer features, but they keep updating my 2014 with features the hardware can handle. The recent update also enabled matrix headlights for all car models that have matrix headlights, not just new cars. Also, they added charging routing preferences, which is nice. Saving trunk height based on location. Not sure if other makers do this though. Forward B Pillar camera recording :).
Even with all the build quality issues I do still like my Y. Just wish it was better quality. You can tell they cheap out on materials in some places.
My Model 3 was purchased in 2018. And since I bought it till now, this car has the easiest maintenance. Out of pocket, I replaced the 12V battery, cabin air filters. wiper blades, and new set of tires. That's all. The glass roof and rear glass cracked at separate times. Both were replaced by Safelite thru my car insurance and no out of pocket costs.
Congratulations! We really wanted the new Y! But we took delivery of a new 3 instead, and have been saying the same thing. It's just a very nice vehicle! It's a major upgrade from a Honda Civic that was supposed to be "one of the best vehicles". Night and day difference. We are now about to take a road trip, and we're excited! We're also not too stressed given the charging network! Last time we did this trip, half the gas stations were closed and really almost got us in trouble! For what it's worth, I/You/we don't have to like/support a specific person, in order to support a company with many wonderful people and families, producing some very awesome products. I'm sure there are some significantly worse CEO's, doing even worse things, that simply disappear in the background and don't get talked about. Regardless enjoy the new Y!
Everywhere in the country is pretty calm. It's very important to remember that headlines come quicker than ever and are tailored to engage and enrage.
If you don’t like the auto climate control (like me), it’s ridiculous to have to turn off auto before unlocking manual control, with the auto button extremely small and far away from the fan control and temperature settings, and the seat warm/cool function needing a submenu to switch, all of that requires an extended amount of taking your attention off the road for precise icon touches, and it blocks your nav the whole time because the entire interface itself is a giant submenu. It should just be six buttons at the bottom of the screen that are always there just below your music controls.
I’d say they make good car, they used to make great cars. They are losing ground in markets that don’t give 2 cents about politics. Look to China and Australia. I hope they can come back. I’d love to buy another one but if the Xiaomi su7 ultra shows up here it would be awful hard not to buy it over anything else. They should be in the Swiss marktet soon enough. Love my 22 m3p but the competition is heating up here and sorry but the 3 just stack up as it used to.
The one where you can keep things charging after leaving the car is nice.
Agree, i have 3 teslas and looking at replacing one of them with another Tesla
At the end of the day it’s a brand.
| any car should be able to reach 50k without an issue Have you ever owned a BMW or Mercedes? How about a Mazda? Honda? Ford? Chevy? Rivian? Lifetime repair costs for a Tesla are lower than any other brand. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-maintenance/the-cost-of-car-ownership-a1854979198/
I live in the bay too and I feel like all the teslas just appeared one day lmao.
A car with less moving parts will of course be less expensive. Compared to a Mercedes EV, Tesla is actually more expensive to maintain. https://www.topspeed.com/evs-lowest-and-highest-maintenance-costs/
I want it as a car not a robotaxi though, and as it is with my current Y, I'd like it to have some of the practical niceties that smart competitors have. I'm not just talking buttons and HUD, but things like autosteer and adaptive cruise control that's actually market leading instead of being shameful compared to things like VW's version. It's fine for driving 100s of miles only on interstates/autoroutes/motorways, but for day to day driving VW's approach is way more useful. If Tesla actually put FSD to one side temporarily and focused on competing \*now\*, then it wouldn't be difficult to sort it out on a minor hardware refresh.
It’s true.
Interesting article. Not sure about their methodology or a Mercedes paid ad to a media publisher. They say the Mercedes has the best digital experience; that’s laughable.
This is the internal struggle I have as well. I want to get one but the fact that I have no car payment has outweighed my decision at the moment.
If I already owned a Tesla I would keep it. I’ve loved the Teslas I’ve rented and had been planning on buying one when I made my next car purchase. But I just cannot purposely support this man any more. So now I’m looking at other brands for my next vehicle purchase. Over the last weekend I rented a Chevy Equinox EV. I liked it. Not as much as I like the Teslas I’ve rented. But it was still a positive experience. Next, I want to try a Hyundai IONIQ 5 & 6. I really like what I’ve read about the IONIQ 6. If Musk wil ever leaves Tesla I would consider it again. But I doubt that’ll ever happen. But I also never thought Travis Kalanick would ever not be running Uber, and yet, that happened. So maybe one day Tesla will be Musk-free as well. I’m definitely grateful that Tesla was able to prove that electric cars are a vehicle consumers will buy. I doubt we’d have all these other brands making electric cars without Tesla being so successful.
well, they have no motor, don’t need oil, or transmission, or exhaust works…so yah it’s easy to make a tesla.
Which rims are those?
Is it overblown to have a car that’s supposed to be the future fail at basic things. And then put it into a menu on a touch screen so you can’t easily turn it on?
I consider drivers amenities tech. After driving my gv60 the last few years I went to drive my brothers model ‘24 model Y and simple things like not having a HUD made it feel quite dated. I do miss dog mode though.
Y is my favorite we have an X now and I prefer the Y
Serious question. What is it you want out of the New Model Y that is worth the upgrade? I like the new redesign a bit but I feel like all the “features” I’ve seen(better suspension, noise isolation, etc) are just like “we’re better at making cars now”.
100% true. Beautiful beasts.
My gripe is that I can't just have "air". I have to have air at a specific temperature. A smart system would allow me to say "at least 18C, no warmer than 23C" so between those temps it neither heats nor cools.
That's a really good point about the demand problem. There are now so many good non-Tesla EVs that have just a few key knobs and buttons that make all the difference when driving. Also they often have better equiv of standard Autopilot where you don't have to fight it to dodge a person or pothole (e.g. VW's system)
The only people I’ve ever heard this argument from (the “Tesla’s are bad” argument) is from Tesla owners saying this is “what they say.” In my experience, living in LA, I never got any slack for owning a Tesla. The CEO may be doing any number of things I don’t agree with, but the product works. Like, I’m not a fan of new Ye, but I would NEVER say he makes bad music.
I wish the customer service reps were a little more knowledgable. Knowing I could’ve gotten the long range instead of the standard plus for like $17 extra dollars a month really soured my over all experience.
I’d argue 99,000 of those people are just showing up wanting to feed their families.
The irony is that I love that Tesla’s are tech surrounded by a car. That’s actually my biggest selling point. A car around tech is better than a car with tech (usually). I’m taking a Lamborghini anyday, but the tech of a Tesla really is unmatched in a vehicle.
You can kick me out for this n that’s fine. It’s not about politics the protests. The American made great technology cool… the price though. How are “all”Americans going to be able to afford one that’s my only issue with everything. I love the sound of my motors I’m a love the sound of a good exhaust guy. I would definitely get one for long trips or whatever. Again affording one to buy off the lot without huge percent interests or monthly fees still not the time for me I’m guessing. Congrats to you guys who can. N the ones who can buy them for your kids I see at the charging station all the time 16 year old female. 17 year old female. Sorry for the rant just do agree support the workers everything else eh. Just make it affordable for even the most compact one and I’d support it maybe who knows
The charging stations will be Tesla's life jacket
That wasn’t an exaggeration, that was a lie.
Turns out the same skills he used to build up Tesla and co are handy for making DOGE streamline government too, which will ultimately benefit not just Tesla, but all other companies too. As an ongoing shareholder, I'm perfectly happy with that.
CNN thought otherwise as I linked. Reddit is mostly just bitter because he's not on their political team anymore.
