You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don’t get in the #Titan ?

Don’t get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

      Norwegian Tesla owners had short hunger strike over it. Doors won’t open during the Scandinavian winters and wipers freeze shut and so on.

      It’s worse I’ve heard the build quality is inconsistent. Some cars are perfectly assembled, others have dime sized gaps between seams.

        Right, seems like a quality control issue. Either way, even if it wasn’t for their megadouche CEO, I would still probably avoid them because of it.

          Yup. You’re paying for the name. I’d rather get an electric car from one of the big auto manufacturers personally.

      That’s usually a reference to fit and finish, but there have been several of them that have caught on fire. But they basically require subscription fees and refuse to use physical controls for important systems.

        I am never going to give up my boring 2008 Honda civic. I will just repair it until I die. Cars sucked when I was a kid and they suck now. The only things that changed

        • The radio is a distracting touchscreen
        • The keys are confusing
        • They catch on fire from battery problems
        • The extended warranty is getting more extended and non-optional
        • You can’t just buy 3rd party parts or fix it yourself or bring it to the mechanic of your choice.

        The future of cars is the apple model. Except generally speaking apple products work. It would be one thing if they were putting out cars that had triple the fuel efficiency.
