    For me the worst part about Tesla’s (and other electric cars in general) is when you’re driving behind one and they have the regenerative breaking set to maximum. When they release the gas and start coasting, they decelerate a lot quicker than I do when I start coasting behind them which forces me to brake constantly.

      maybe just keep a bit of distance and don’t climb in their trunk? that also applies to non-EVs driving in front of you.

    I gotta give it to them.

    The first two cars looked nice and they were the first to understand what makes an electric car good.

    But they fucking lost that too by removing everything from the dashboard and moving to a single screen in the middle. Their build quality is shit (Even Trabants had smaller panel gaps holy shit) Repair costs for simple fixes are out of this world (There was a video where a technician repaced a hose for the cooling system for 130$ where Tesla wanted to replace the whole battery for 20000$) Elon is a nutjob that keeps breaking promises.

    So are SUVs from BMW, Porsche or Audi. But heh I live in Europe, I guess the trucks in the US are way worse.

      They look old compared to other new cars, i’ve seen enough of that design.

      The Tesla Y gotta be one of the ugliest cars from behind that i know, it does look like a Model 3 just out of proportion.

        Yeah the Y is proportionally all wrong haha, it looks like an overweight 3. The only Tesla I like is the S but still much prefer an i4, or even an EQE.

          or even an EQE

          the front just doesn’t look good imo. they just replaced the… grill? (idk what you call that) with a flat piece of carbon instead of just
          a) removing that part of the design (like tesla did with the model 3) or
          b) putting a fake-grill on the front

          it looks okay otherwise, so i guess if you want to you could also just replace that plate with a grill

    I was downtown last night and a Teslord pulled through a light late when there wasn’t space, blocking the crosswalk.

    I yelled “fuck your Tesla!” at them and got more support from the people around me than I expected.

      that’s a move no driver of another car brand is capable of, and if it would have been a bmw the crowd probably had started yelling at you.

        i don’t think a lot of people are driving a tesla because they ant to give money to the musk. i also don’t think that guy had a lot to do with

        • the software
        • the build quality
        • the design of the car

        other than ‘i want that’ or ‘looks good to me’

    why would you sign up to pay elon every time you want to charge your car? like bro cut your loss already theres a reason the dudes the richest person in the world he’s already fucking owners who need warranty/fixes

    and the way he’s dropping his MSRP the resale value are gonna be tanking cant wait when he decides he “needs” to charge more for electricity now that the price is so cheap and the resale is gonna tank even more

        why would electric charge stations compete with themselves? the only competition will be who can charge their customers the most. have you not been paying attention?
