    Remember when he removed the Disney+ app from Teslas because he was angry over twitter ads? That kind of unreliable behaviour might have something to do with it.

      My opinion is that nothing like D+ or Netflix or whatever should be on a central console in the first place. If it is there, there will always be a driver watching it instead of a road and killing someone as a result.

      Until FSD is a thing, entertainment should be reserved for passengers.

        As far as I know those systems are intended to be used either by second monitor in the back or only if the car is standing still.

        When you have your lovely family time in the daily traffic jam. Or when you had to sell your TV and now go into your car to watch. /s

        I personally think the idea on itself is stupid. However in China they are a step ahead and have even more of that shit. The point is that in china you won’t have much space in your flat in the big cities so you can move into your car because there is more space /s

        The price of those cars with that stuff is starting at about 100k€ and only going up.

        No normal human being is intented to buy these.

    His vehicles aren’t even safe for other Dragons to ride on. Why would I buy from a company who unironically had the below answer for me when I googled from the back seat of one of their cars while Ubering and thought of that news:

    Opening a Rear Door with No Power

    Not all Model Y vehicles are equipped with a manual release for the rear doors. Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket. Press the red tab to remove the access door. Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

    Emphasis mine. Still don’t know which kind I was on, but an emergency would have not been the ideal ‘find out’ time. I’ll avoid that by not fucking around with purchasing their cars.

    I had an order for a Tesla solar roof ($50,000ish/and also owned a few grand of TSLA stock. Cancelled the order and sold the stock after he refused to close his factory for Covid and turned all anti-mask. Fuck Elon.

    I don’t think this is having a meaningful effect. Tesla’a biggest marketplace is China, and I doubt they care about American politics. It is more likely that China is discouraging people from buying Teslas due to American threats to ban Tiktok.

    I see a lot of anti-musk sentiment but didn’t really know why. What happened to piss everyone off? My guess is some autistic ranting on Twitter but that didn’t seem enough
