I am sorry you are denying yourself something you value to deny someone who doesn't know you or have any impact on your life a few nickels. I don't know what the CEO of Sony thinks about anything...I just like some of their stuff. I don't care what CEOs think...I assume they all think crazy rich people stuff. I just buy what I think is cool and works for me. For me it's Teslas right now for cars. Love them. I don't care what crazy stuff their CEO thinks....again I assume all CEOs are loons and it makes no difference to my life.
We've put 73,000 miles on our 2018 Model 3 and have had no major issues (other than small annoyances). I remember getting this EV used and having people tell me I'd never see 100,000 miles because Tesla was so bad and unreliable.
You mean one incident where there are millions of these cars on the roads? What are the stats. Surely with a faulty design there is a smoking gun of sorts with lots of evidence.
I have about 50 years of getting out of all
Reliability means different things to different people. To some a rattle is indicative of lack reliability. To me it means things break and require service visits along with being stranded, which is a reliability issue.
Curious what year range of Teslas you were investigating? The books I've read on Elon and Tesla indicate it was kinda rough initially.
Total false statement. I have a 2022 Tesla Model S LR and it has been the most reliable car I have owned and also the cheapest to operate.
Studies have shown that many more people die in car accidents not using autopilot of FSD. People are much worse drivers, especially those who are looking at their iPhones and texting while driving. Musks software actually saves people.
Yeah I should've more accurately wrote why some don't. This country is pretty split evenly politically. 🙂
That seems strange. Maybe your phone is close to your car when it's parked? The Tesla App doesn't even show up on my Battery Usage. Must be less than 1%
Yeah my Tesla is parked directly below me - probably 8 ft from where I'm sitting now. The UWB key stays connected constantly - and depending on what I'm doing with my phone - it's anywhere from 1% - 3% according to Apple now. It's been improved significantly since last year when it was using a bit more.
Totally agree. I'm sure I disagree with Tim Cook on pretty much everything, yet I have a lot of Apple products and continue to buy them, not because of Cooks political views but because I like the products.
I have always taken your position, but as a federal worker, I can no longer take that position with respect to Musk, his actions just went way too far.
Prepare to have your mind blown.
Cite those studies. You can't. They don't exist.
40,000 people died every year in the US caused by human drivers. 40k!!!
Actually the Model Y is the best selling EV in the world. Far far from the best selling car in the world (and it's technically not a car, it's an SUV). The best se
Your point was what again?
Oh no, I think Tesla should improve on the emergency latches. I think they should make it somehow more panic-proof. I just don’t know how to go about that, I’m not a car/safety design engineer. I never said Tesla’s can’t improve. Although I never been in an accident with a Tesla, knowck on wood, I’d like to think I’d have the warewithall to not panic so much that I couldn’t get out.
it doesn’t have to do with your driving. Your perfect driving doesn’t prevents others from causing accident that might impact you. And if that happens, computer has much faster time and 360 degrees view to help prevent or avoid accident.
Tesla has 100 billion in revenue a year. It’s not just going away like you think it would.
My one complaint with my Tesla Y is that FSD won't let me go more than 5 mph over the speed limit.
