“Bought this Tesla before Elon Musk became a huge asshole. Sorry”
wait, Tesla didn’t exist back then
Before he revealed himself to be one
nah, always been one, like I said to what looks like a deleted reply:
If the sticker said “I bought this before Tesla was taken over by a huge asshole”, my response would be different.
the american urge to paste your opinions on your automobile
Electric cars are still cars, and therefore do fuck-all to fix the real problem of excessive use of land for parking lots, low-density zoning, and lack of walkability.
The only way to have communities that are healthy and sustainable (ecologically, financially, or otherwise) is to fix the zoning code so that folks don’t need to drive in the first place.
Or just reduce the need to drive, for example by encouraging remote work.
Oh man when almost everything was remote my commute was so nice. 12 miles in 15 - 17 minutes instead of almost double that everyday.
Unfortunately I operate a forklift so I have to be there in person but damn was it super nice.
Currently I’m trying to encourage and raise support for more bike infrastructure locally so it’s an actually viable option intead of it’s currently not so viable state.
Establishing maximums on parking lot sizes to be drastically less than the building’s capacity would help
Maximums aren’t necessarily the problem, since developers are incentivized by market forces not to build more parking than necessary.
The problem is parking minimums, which are based on numbers pulled out of somebody’s ass 80 years ago and (to the extent they correlated with anything at all) tend to be closer to the maximum that could ever conceivably be needed (think “Black Friday at a shopping center”) more than anything else!
I mean we need lobbiests to switch those mins to maz
We are the lobbyists. For example, my city is currently doing this, so it’s up to people like me to show up at the meetings and demand changes like that. You can do the same in your city or county by talking to your local political rep, even when they aren’t doing a wholesale rewrite like they are here.
But ultimately, according to the survey, most Tesla owners plan to buy a Tesla again.
Lol
I’ve seen a lot of that, including tweets from bazingas that show wacky shit like car doors falling off but then say “STILL LOVE THE CAR THOUGH!”
Yyyyyyyup. I was hoping to get away from reddit’s hivemind of “Teslas are shit cars” but with Musk at the helm I don’t think that’s possible. Are they perfect? No. Are they awesome? IMO, yes.
reddit’s hivemind of “Teslas are shit cars”
Has
really changed that much since a year ago? It was a massive endless circlejerk for the Church of E-L-O-N back then, up to and including “ironic” pictures of their lord and savior presented as a saint in antiquity-style paintings.Are they awesome? IMO, yes.
https://carbuzz.com/news/tesla-admits-model-3-has-a-design-flaw
r/cars and other car “enthusiast” subs have been pretty anti-Tesla for quite some time, because Teslas aren’t really anything approaching a “driver’s car”. They go fast in a straight line but have terrible feedback and handling.
r/cars and other car “enthusiast” subs have been pretty anti-Tesla for quite some time
That must be the so-called circlejerk that the Tesla consoomer disapproves of because it isn’t the logical rational Tesla circlejerk that was otherwise hoped for.
They are extremely mad that car people don’t like Teslas, and they post angrily about it on Reddit every hour of every day. Fortunately, Tesla people aren’t “car people” so there’s really no real life friction other than Tesla dorks probably showing up to cars and coffee all over the nation and feeling personally offended when nobody gives half a shit about their commuter coffin.
When you think a meme absolves you from being a credulous and gullible consumer in denial about sunk-cost fallacy.
https://news.yahoo.com/tesla-makes-least-reliable-cars-133500819.html
If you actually knew what you were talking about you’d know the consumer reports report referenced in the article weighs cosmetic issues as heavily as mechanical ones. It’s been talked about to death since it came out a while ago but yeah, nice yahoo link, bro.
Any source that makes you feel a hint of buyer’s remorse is a bad source.
I really feel sorry for the level of sunk-cost fallacy you’ve sunken to, all so your bazingamobile doesn’t seem like a bad choice.
Tesla’s are shit cars though, and it has nothing to do with Musk. They have little to no driver feedback. The UX of their driver control systems are unresponsive and require the driver to take their eyes from the road. The idea of self-driving cars is a pipe dream that solves zero problems and simply aggravates existing individual transport problems.
Counterpoints:
- Cosmetic build quality issues aside, they require practically zero maintenance (tires and windshield fluid) and there are less moving parts to break. So far they’ve proven to be very reliable.
- Driver feedback is subjective and I find your claim straight-up obtuse in meaning. I quite enjoy windy roads and the smoothness of the EV drivetrain.
- The UX of my Tesla is practically-perfectly responsive and most of what you want to do has either physical or voice controls.
- Autopilot is good bordering great but still needs work. FSD is indeed a pipe dream with the current fleet.
- It’s fast as fuck.
Lol seriously? My passengers find the manual release by accident the first time they go to get out. It’s exactly where you would expect it to be.
“Extra! Extra! Some people are idiots!”
Keep trying, bud.
Keep trying, bud.
What are you even doing on the FuckCars section of this site anyway? Do you want to be congratulated for your sunk-cost fallacy
“Extra! Extra! Some people are idiots!”
Some people say smug things like that, but then spend a lot of money on bad purchases and need to tell internet strangers that those bad purchases must be good purchases and any evidence to the contrary is from a bad source because it isn’t a Tesla circlejerk in your favor.
Toyotas require virtually zero maintenance as well. The difference is that when you do need maintenance, it doesn’t cost a kidney and you can find a shop anywhere with the parts and expertise, or do it yourself at home
it’s fast as fuck
How is this a good thing? 40,000 deaths in America due to cars. Every year.
UX is perfect
Lol. Everything is in the center of the car instead of right in front of me
Cosmetic build quality issues aside, they require practically zero maintenance (tires and windshield fluid) and there are less moving parts to break. So far they’ve proven to be very reliable.
This applies to all electric cars, this isn’t exclusive to Tesla. And other electric cars don’t have panel gaps.
Driver feedback is subjective and I find your claim straight-up obtuse in meaning. I quite enjoy windy roads and the smoothness of the EV drivetrain.
The Tesla drives like an appliance, particularly in comparison to what are often considered “driver’s cars”. Nothing wrong with it, but don’t expect car enthusiasts to like it.
The UX of my Tesla is practically-perfectly responsive and most of what you want to do has either physical or voice controls.
most
voice controls
Physical buttons are superior, and have been for decades. Voice controls and touchscreens are decisions made on a budget basis, not a UX basis, because they are objectively worse. It’s corner-cutting, not improvement.
Autopilot is good bordering great but still needs work. FSD is indeed a pipe dream with the current fleet.
Are you calling Musk a liar?!? FSD has been coming “next year” for like six years now!!!
Are you calling Musk a liar?!?
Literally yes.
Dang you managed to be right on one thing, congrats
It’s fast as fuck.
Translates as: “I drive like an absolute cunt.”
Did they fix the fact you can’t open the door from the inside if the power is out without an instruction manual and fingernails?
love too have my self driving software turn off seconds before my car slams into a semi truck going 100mph, so I can be blamed posthumously for not having enough personal responsibility
The fuck are you talking about? There is a regular-sized door handle right there.
Only the front doors have a manual release. So what will your child in the back seat do in the situation of a crash, and the battery is compromised causing a loss of power and threat of combustion?
https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_au/GUID-7A32EC01-A17E-42CC-A15B-2E0A39FD07AB.html
Oh wow, I did not notice that. Now THAT is a problem.
Wait aren’t you the one who actually owns one of these lithium sand buckets?
Believe it or not I don’t spend much time in the back seat.
That is kind of the funny thing about autos. Like most manufacturers are terrible in many ways. Environment, political, the way they treat people or how shitty their quality control is. Planned obsolescence. There is still a fake “supply demand” issue that they have literally concocted to jack prices through the roof. Literally price gouging asking 15k over MRSP because they pretend they have a supply issue lol.
All the US majors are in on this scam and it’s sad we don’t have a government worth a fuck to fight it…
Elon is just mouthy about it lol. I couldn’t even tell you who the CEO of GMC is. They are awful as well tho.
The problem unique to car companies is that the Repubs are beholden to the car companies and the only unions big enough and worth a shit in the US is the UAW, and Democrats are beholden to anything they need.
So you literally can’t do anything to regulate the industry without pissing off one or the other. The car companies will use any legislation raised against them to lay off union jobs.
Is the UAW still a powerful union? Hasn’t it been mostly dismantled and destroyed by union busting and automation?
Awesome? I can’t even find the odometer without going through 50 different menus. And the brain genius wants to implement a yoke instead of a steering wheel. Dumbasses spending money on the dumbest products
What a silly thing to complain about. TWO touches to get total mileage. Boo-fucking-hoo.
Yoke is optional becaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuse people didn’t want it. They listened to their customers. Wow, what a terrible move.
Real c/fuck_cars take there.
Yes, I do cry over bad car design choices.
I’m sorry, there’s no positive here on the yoke thing. Literally anybody who isn’t a 14 year old who has never driven a car before should understand a yoke is a shitty, stupid thing to replace a wheel with. That mistake didn’t require putting the shit on the market and then going “oh wow I guess this much worse thing isn’t better after all, huh”. Like, seriously, the dumbest motherfuckers must have been involved in that decision from start to finish.
I guess we’ll just ignore the tons of positive feedback regarding the yoke out there. Oh well.
Then why did they discontinue it if it wasn’t a stupid idea? Oh well.
I just want to go into the thing itself a little bit here… What vehicles do we see “yoke” style steering wheels on? Racing cars and karts. Why do we see yokes on those vehicles specifically? Extremely fast steering racks that will go lock-to-lock in a half or quarter turn, coupled with cockpits that either do not allow enough arm movement due to restraints or space to have more wheel movement. Are Teslas cramped inside with arm restraints because they’re open-top racecars? Do they have racing racks that go lock to lock in a quarter turn? Are Teslas driven like a racecar, where both hands will always be on the wheel unless you’re banging through gears? No.
It’s a child’s view of the world that spawned the idea of putting yokes in Teslas, because the child (Musk) saw racecars and was too ignorant to understand why they had yokes. Techbros and their consequences, etc.
“But I think its cool, so therefore you are incorrect!”
Did you think they were agreeing with you bazinga boy? Lmao
Yeah; it’s very strange. The new online norm seems to be “don’t buy anything from a company if the primary person is a jerk.”
Meanwhile everyone online is buying stuff from jerks. They are just less vocal about it.
I REALLY don’t care to research every company I buy something from. Even if I know the primary person is a jerk, I still don’t care unless there is a near equal alternative.
Yes, nearly every product is made by assholes, rapists, abusers, and so on. The difference is that teslas are shit cars with a child in charge of design
The point here is that the main guy is like the biggest asshole, but the product itself is also ass while pretending not to be, likely fucking up the future “innovation” to be more fucking trash like this
I don’t hurl insults at Tesla owners. If they’re dumb enough to stick to owning a car more likely to explode than a Pinto while not even having the panels line up correctly on a $40k “luxury” car, then there’s no pox I could wish on them worse than what they’re already signed up for.
LOL oh no, these panels are slightly askew and it’s fixed for free immediately. The horror… what have I done to myself?
https://news.yahoo.com/tesla-makes-least-reliable-cars-133500819.html
You paid money for it, so you must downplay bad, even dangerous, things about your purchase.
You obviously have no experience with the cars and are posting one-off issue articles from years ago.
Believe it or not, I am quite happy with my purchase.
Believe it or not, I am quite happy with my purchase.
Sunk-cost fallacy intensifies
You want to banish your doubts soooo badly that you keep jerking it on the FuckCars section of this site of all places. Why are you even here besides the usual Tesla “look at me look at me” validation cravings?
I love day one patches for my games instead of just having one that works
The car worked fine with a misaligned panel. Not sure what you’re getting at.
They designed that child immolation feature just for you, please put it to good use!
This is the equivalent of voting Republican, then complaining how everything is getting worse.
Eh, if you vote Republican, complain about things getting worse, then vote Democrat, that’s changing your mind. If I saw someone with that sticker, I’d assume they regret the decision and won’t be getting another one. Being able to change your opinion with new information really shouldn’t be discouraged.
I bought it before the twitter stuff
but you bought it well after everyone knew they were shit quality explosive deathtraps and that he was a paedophile
Also a sexpest who wants what Epstein wanted, to spread his super smart and special seed. He already got god knows how many women pregnant and forced them sign NDAs
pedo?
If he was anyone else, I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. But when you’re a fucking billionaire businessman, you’re telling me you don’t vet the people you meet? It’s why I don’t trust the narrative that Trump didn’t know Epstein personally. These people have ex special forces as security guards and you can’t do a quick search on who this weird rich person is. My ass.
Epstein and Ghislaine were/are intelligence assets. If they got something on Musk, it’d either be out by now or they’re dictating all this shit.
I remember when Teslas used to be cool.
Now I see them all the time, and they might as well swap the badge for one that says “cunt”, it would be less embarrassing.
Makes sense the people buying teslas are obsessed with what others think of them
what is about americans and bumper stickers
@Sasuke @const_void Cars have taken over their lives so much that, for some, bumper stickers are they only way they have of communicating with other people.
My buddy sold his Y because his wife hated it and so he tells people it’s because of Musk.
It wasn’t because of Musk.
“Ugh. A Ford, I know. I bought it before the nazi stuff”
Who the fuck cares. It’s a tool. You don’t care if the multinational corporation behind Disney World is a reprehensible child rape factory either.
I think you mean YOU don’t lmfao
Ah yes, me, the reason why they’re the biggest entertainment corporation in world history.
Who the fuck cares. It’s a tool. You don’t care if the
You said I don’t care , and I countered that no, its YOU who doesn’t care, and thats weird
Its weird that you think that
That is weird.
Have I been clear enough this time?
All this does is reveal who’s obnoxious, gullible, and stupid. How would anyone in their right mind think that pre-twitter Elon didn’t deserve to turn into a vegetable by the Zuck
what a patetic testament , so they brougt their fucking car (Most Pricy Class of Consumer Item ) based on them liking the
hype lib train (oviously not actually a Train thats way to efficent and proven) , joyfully driving on the Smuglane ,… now after the “X” stuff , and Elon having puplic shifted into the Chud lane , they now drive their Tesla on the Crinch highway in such paranoid hyperawareness that they put a fucking Bumperstckr on their car to Preactivly apolegize … Never be that Pathetic …Oh come on, they had to have known how much of a weenie he was even before the twitter stuff lol.
He was a good billionaire back then. Then he became uncivil publicly
He was so relatable but still le epic bacon guy before, no don’t look at that photo with Maxwell
