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
