I used to be a Tesla fan but since a few years they are just cutting corners wherever possible.
First of all these are not cheap cars. Model 3 was supposed to be an affordable electric car and even the basic specs version is pricey.
But it turns out the manufacturing is often piss poor, many customers complain about faulty stuff, badly assembled parts, water leaks or other things missing.
And now I read they are removing more features (sensors, etc) to reduce costs while the prices remain the same.
At the same time over the past years they kept increasing prices and also the price of the "FSD" feature while the quality is going down and still no "Full Self Driving". Latter has just been the same since few years and no real progress.
It's good that other brands are starting to catch up so Tesla gets more competition.
- 100%. Tesla 3 feels so cheap. iPad dashboard is an awful UX. They’ll have brand power for years, but other car makers already make better electricsnb
- Tesla does need to improve, but they have the momentum to do it. All the other brands are praying something sticks, but so far, it looks like a transition withformed
- nothing really sticking out (though I do LOVE the Audi e-tron RS)formed
- Tesla deserves a lot of credit though, it’s probably incredibly difficult to break into the market. It’s impressive, even if the cars are kinda shittynb
- People don’t buy cars that stick out. They dream about them, but almost everyone buys an SUV, minivan or pickup truck that looks exactly like all the other onesnb
- People don’t want to stand out from the crowd. Majority of cars are available in black, white, 3-5 shades of grey and maybe one color (red or blue).nb
- *two colorsnb
- I was appalled when I first saw a Tesla at a showroom years ago, none of the panels were fitting right with varying gaps in between. And this was a showroom carBeeswax

looks way better
- I disagree, the interior looks so cheesy and so over the top "look at me I'm electric"NBQ00
- Mercedes really missed the market, totally the wrong direction. Look at the Audi e-tron RS and Porsche Taycan for good desigs (part the Audi).formed
- Almost all of the Mercedes has been hideous for well over a decade now and don't seem to be getting any better.formed

When Tesla's (+ other cars) cars become fully self driving... connected to the web... How soon until government, when it wants, locks the doors, changes the route, and drives you straight into confinement?
Just imagine a CCP like future, all cars are self driving cars, perhaps you don't own a car, it's all a giant taxi fleet - you are a jounralist/campaigner etc fighting some governmental Orwellian, you get in a car, set your destination and.. oh no, straight to a unmarked police torture chamber.
- * governmental Orwellian nightmare.shapesalad
- Or a car “accidentally” runs over protesters.Chimp
- Only Jesus can take my wheel.palimpsest
- Don’t worry, full self driving was a lie. Tech people who once lauded it are now saying it may never be possiblenb
- you'll probably have rootkits to hack your car if you want to engage in anti gov activities.uan
- surveillance cams are doing a good job already. We actually need face changers to run away from biometrics. maybe our kids can have that luxuryBeeswax
- Face changers?!??! Just wear a masknb

What a cockhead Musk is...from the bloke that made $52bill in 2018 IN SALARY.
“Last year, Elon Musk parted ways with one of his top deputies at Tesla Inc., TSLA 2.75%increase; green up pointing triangle a French auto-industry executive named Jerome Guillen.”
“Mr. Guillen worked at Tesla for roughly a decade, rising to oversee the company’s car division. He was rewarded with equity grants that swelled with Tesla’s valuation. By the end of 2020, Mr. Guillen’s unvested equity in the car maker was valued at around $600 million, according to an Equilar Inc. analysis.”
“As their long relationship broke down, Mr. Musk made an unusual request: He asked Mr. Guillen to forfeit some of his unvested equity in the car maker, people familiar with the matter said. Soon after, Mr. Guillen left Tesla.”
“Exactly what went wrong between the two leaders couldn’t be learned. But some of the people familiar with the matter said one issue of broader concern for Mr. Musk has been that some employees were making more from Tesla than he thought their contributions merited.”
- Have often heard to 'invest in Tesla stock', just never been able to... something smells.shapesalad

JESUS FUCK.
People dying apparently, but not up close or anything. Not any less horrid.
Basically, a Tesla S/X spacks out and just guns it, apparently unstoppably (unstoppably?).
- Model Y/X, sorry.
Apparently they do actually have a 'kill switch' to just stop the battery connection.
Fucking computers.Nairn - I wonder if he just does that occasionally for the lols? Overrides the system uses a VR headset to watch it through the onboard camerasPhanLo
- how do we not know it was the driver?shapesalad
- but regardless.. I miss 90's cars. A Saab. Classic, sensible, easy to understand car.shapesalad

- @ss - to my eye it looks like they were dearly trying not to die from the way they're swerving around, but sure, who the fuck knows?Nairn
- Oh shit. Looks like it wasn't the occupants that died. https://english.alar…Nairn
- Wondered if they tried the handbrake?PhanLo
- Apparently they have electric handbrakes, not physical ones. ie, I guess the motors are kept in check by the magnets.Nairn
- Everything is electric these days.
Probably a good thing that link doesn't work anymore...formed - driver error, flooring the gas, not the brakes. surprisingly common.inteliboy
- And that link is goneinstrmntl
- Twitter sensoring Tesla news. Whodathunk?instrmntl
- Model Y/X, sorry.

Full Self Driving my ass. Tesla is for losers.
- utopian2
- Where is that mechanical key what disables the motor completely in an emergency?sted
- here it is: https://i.imgur.com/…
You have to open the trunk and cut a cable. quite a serious stunt, especially on such roads.sted - ?pango
- fucking hell. the car can also lock you up with no way to get out. imagine cybertruck with its glass, you can't even break it in case of emergencyNBQ00
- also in this case do we know what really happened? is it really the car's fault?NBQ00
- Cars cannot be held accountable so it's not the car's fault.palimpsest
- all this, and you don't even need anyone in the drivers seat. "Full self driving" swarm of killer robotsmonNom
- Probably a drunk chinese guy trying to blame it on Elon Muskmilfhunter
- He was heavily invested in FTX and just found out.PhanLo

nature is healing...
- Company NEVER paid dividends... Elon and Kimball are the top inside traders to date... simping ain't easy if you are holding this stock.jonny_quest_lives
- This stock paid for a good chunk of my house LOLmonospaced
- Glad you got out clean... it's not too late to short it... entropy suggests $40-50... stale product line... c suite cashing out.jonny_quest_lives
- Not doing the exact math rn, but good value would be around $200B marketgrafician
- TSLA to $100 shortlygrafician
- If you appraise it as a car company $30-40 per share is generous.jonny_quest_lives
- that's GM category @jonny_quest_lives. tesla is more like Ford so its destined to 10-20 :\ (nobody wants to see that lol)sted
- Life, Finds a Way!utopian
- Tesla is a lot more than a car company, though. It'll go a lot lower, but it'll come back way past anything GM or Ford will ever achieve.formed
- except for passenger cars there is no other revenue source, everything else saleable or not is just takes away profit instead of making it.sted
- its worth looking up how GM and Ford makes money.sted
- aaand Teslas outstanding shares count without the hype and/or outstanding profit makes it a slowly moving mammoth on the stockmarket, just like Ford.sted

Fuck Tesla and fuck that cunt Elon Musk

Tesla owners didn’t buy a car: We bought a set of beliefs Elon is trashing
"I bought a red Model Y in 2020 but more than that I bought into a brand that aimed to do some good in the world. Now I’m embarrassed to get behind the wheel"
- what is this fucking bullshit :))
this is dumbsted - Yeah, he's doing a hell of a job of alienating potential buyers. Pretty crazy.formed
- Good article...it's not dumb at all. You have to wonder, does Musk just not realize this?yuekit
- One of the people he gave the Twitter Files to is Michael Shellenberger, a climate skeptic.yuekit
- what is this fucking bullshit :))
