these stories have to be the first new cars any of these fuckers have ever bought. there's no way that someone could go through a competent new car delivery and actually accept a car with a pile of trash in the footwell and poo poo all over the outside.

right?

Haven't there been reports of them just dropping it off at the house and loving off without even notifying the owner until after they left?

i love this idea of twitter customer service, where you can overlook any issues because all you need to do is @ the ceo and they'll respond!

unless they don't.

also maybe if the company/product didn't suck you wouldn't have to try to shame the head of the company into acting via a public forum, idk.

it worked for marco overcast, but he has a checkmark and 112k followers and a popular podcast.

so just get those things and tesla will help you out!

their electronics, drive train, and battery management system are worlds apart at the moment. it's similar to how apple was ahead with their iphone in 2007. give it a few years, and tesla will lose their edge, especially how they're behaving now.

The drivetrain and poo poo is probably the one thing they've done right, but you have to ignore the fire risk and the fact that cold destroys it.

Also remember, supercharging destroys the batteries.

are they still actually better than say the e-tron or whatever Polar calls their cars? I'm sure they're nicer to drive than a Leaf and I suspect that Jaguar has developed an innovative way to make their electric just as bad as their ICs but there are competent companies in the market now (or just soon?)

No they absolutely did not.

Instead of engineering a good prismatic battery pack which takes years, they spot welded some vape cells together.

Instead of going with the costly but electrically and mechanically superior synchronous AC Motor they went with a cheap to make electric reluctance unit.

Their drivetrains are worlds apart in being poo poo drivetrains and the moment you ask them to do more than bro-starting at a stop light like a pimple faced teenager the crappy design becomes apparent.

Track usage? Overheat literally after a minute
Super charging? Will work a few times, literally fries your battery
Cold operation? Lmao lose your warranty in the winter, boy.

Saying a tesla drivetrain is advanced or great is a statement about ones lack of knowledge about the subject and a testimony of how easily the end consumer is persuaded by a few gimmick features instead of looking at the full picture of his purchase.

let's just take something that's notoriously temperamental in even absolutely ideal circumstances and stuff it into a weird shaped metal box, with a bunch of other radios all blaring at once, and also that will be operating from time to time in close proximity to hundreds more of these things, and rely on that for near-zero latency real time control

also, i mean if you want to talk about getting their costs down via materials efficiency, the number one way to do that would be to stop using 500kg of vape cells, rather than try to cut out some wiring harnesses, but you don't hear much about them doing prismatic battery designs.

they have more range, faster charging, and more acceleration than the competitors.


BUT


it is very likely that the range, charging, and acceleration are all the result of ignoring the operating margins that automakers build into their vehicles to ensure that marts on the edge don't fail and which have resulted in cars now lasting well over a hundred thousand miles.

the guys who are burning out their persistent storage with writes in under the minimum drive lifespan are definitely who i would trust with software.

tbf, he was blown away with "the level of integration" on the mcu/ecu, because they had some nvidia asics for image processing. i mean, yeah, you're probably not going to be doing real time NN image classification on a z80, but c'mon.
