styls trill epic posted:Are Teslas as bad as the forums say that they are? They're ok cars with a fan-loving-tastic charging network so as long as you ignore all the stupid insane poo poo they do and try to sell you you could do way worse. The company itself is loving terrible but they'll tell you here there's no ethical consumption under capitalism so you should definitely ignore the state of california literally suing them for blatant racism and buy one anyway. Rant aside, I think there's better options nowadays if you take into account the EV credit (which Teslas no longer qualify for) and some of the newer/safer bells and whistles. Plus the whole minimalism in a car is not for everyone (i kinda dig it but would also like just a big more?) Now, actually finding stock of anything is a whole other poo poo show in itself so regardless of which direction you go get ready to run a gauntlet.

I didn’t bother driving the Ioniq 5 because I won’t be interested until it has a performance variant but the interior seemed pretty great and the specs all look good.and it’s inarguably the best styled of the CUVEV crop.

That said, if you need a car rightfuckingnow Tesla’s kind of in a school of one for making deliveries at the moment (I would still probably recommend you hold out for something else)

And on the other side of that (sorta), I order my M3LR right before Thanksgiving, was estimated to get it around now, but actually took delivery of it a couple days after Christmas Guess I’ll give a mini review of it seeing as how I I’ve had it for nearly two months. Pros: Speed. I know it’s a cliche (with EVs in general, but specifically Teslas) but the first time I put the hammer down I was in love. Considering prior to this the quickest car I’d owned was the Bolt I traded for it, being impressed was inevitable. I mean it’s an EV and all the power is just right here, right now. Can’t wait to give it some more when it gets warmer see if that makes it even a tiny bit more fun. Styling. I know this is subjective, but I really do love the exterior and interior. The butt is I guess just ok, however the nose is very much my jam. Extremely happy with the color I picked, Midnight Silver Metallic, wasn’t too into it while playing around on the configurator a couple years ago but once I saw a review of one in that color I was sold. Seeing one actually in person absolutely cemented the choice. Though I do like the aero caps (my refreshed ones even more so), I absolutely love the nice wheels hiding underneath. Grabbed a center cap and lug nut cap kit and they look amazing. I’ll be slightly disappointed when I put the covers back on in summer for road tripping but I’ll gladly take the slight range extension. Inside I’m just as happy. I thought I’d hate the wood grain but it’s subdued enough to where I don’t mind it. The seats feel great, but I thought my Bolt was comfy too… 🤷♀️ apparently I’m just easy to please here. The huge center tablet fits fine in my opinion. I don’t miss a dash display at all. Speaking of which, the tablet experience itself. Everything feels pretty fluid (even on my non-Ryzen cpu) and responsive. I’ve not had any trouble figuring out where to go for something or having it screw up. Auto brightness works pretty well. I don’t know what else to say, it just runs great. Build quality. I was terrified when I picked it up because of everything I’d been led to believe. So here I am, waiting for the sales guy to get things straight with my bank and I’m going over everything with a fine tooth comb. Realized two things. First, I’ve never done this with literally any car I bought, I just looked for obvious stuff and went. Second, everything was fine, I didn’t need to freak out. It looked like… a car. Frunkchat again. It’s very much a useful place for roadside items. I currently have my snow brush and inflator in there. Never thought how useful it’d be not getting snow in my car when getting out or putting away the brush. Aside from that, idk, it’s a frunk… more storage is cool One pedal driving. Feels way better than in my Bolt. Knowing my brake lights are on is reassuring and the clock when the hold engages is oddly satisfying. General driving. It honestly just feels nice to drive. Quieter than the Bolt, having an unobstructed dash, and comfy seats make me long for warmer weather and long trips. The combo of the dash and something about the hood design makes it feel like you can see everything in front of you. Autopilot on interstates or the stroad to my work. It’s so magical when it works. Granted my route to work is literally a 2.5 mile straight 4 lane road with stop and go traffic m, but throwing it in autopilot and just monitoring things is really cool. The couple interstate trips I did were equally cool, it’ll definitely make coming home after a long day trip easier. App is fantastic. Especially coming from the awful MyChevy app. Being able to set temps, individual seat heaters, and the steering wheel heater is great. I wish it loaded a bit faster but considering what I came from I’ll take it Phone key. God this is so convenient. I have the key card in my wallet but it’s so handy walking up to my car, getting in, pushing the brake and shifting to go. No buttons to push or wait to boot or anything. Get in and go. Same with leaving, though weirdly it took getting used to shifting to park and just getting out. Sentry mode. Idk, it’s just handy knowing I can always see what’s going on around my car. Even if it’s turned off I can flip it on through the app and check on things. Seat heaters. Jesus they’re toasty. Cons: Autopilot on two lane highways. It’s finicky here. Not the most fun experience. Maybe helped by software in the future but who knows. The vast majority of my driving is either city or interstate so this isn’t a giant deal. V11 software layout. I would’ve loved to had the layout of the versions before. Not super unusable but definitely inferior. Reverb. It’s definitely present, but I got used to it. Seems to go away with more than two passengers. And randomly it goes away when I’m alone so idk. Turning. Coming from a Fiesta, then a Focus, then a Bolt (can’t remember how the Volt handled for whatever reason) this thing is a pig. Obviously I’m not used to bigger cars but drat this turning circle is huge Meh/Other: Sound system. I have no clue how to feel about it. I’ve messed with the EQ and fade but I feel like it’s not perfect still. Previous cars I just popped the fade a bit towards the back and went but here I can’t get super happy. There’s times it sounds just alright (never bad), and times where I’m genuinely impressed. Louder volumes seem to shift things more into the “great sound” side, but it’s just odd coming from my Bolt where I was happy no matter what. Stock interior lights. Weak as all hell. I honestly didn’t realize I had footwell lights until I was browsing accessories. Went ahead and replaced those with some purple ones for nice ambient lighting and the trunk ones with normal brighter ones. Fans. I really wish there was a fan-only mode for the awkward temps between winter and summer when I want airflow but don’t need any climate. Guess I’ll just learn to adjust to auto temps. Set charging speed. Unless I’m crazy this thing never sticks. It literally doesn’t matter since I’m running off the mobile connector with a 14-50 plug on a 40A fuse but it’s odd that whenever I look at charging settings they’re at the default 48A. Is this something that’d only take effect if connected to the big wall connector? No blended braking. Doesn’t matter too much to me since I like one pedal driving, but an odd choice. Reduced/no regen in cold weather. Even without the snowflake icon it seems very common I have no regen in below freezing temps. I guess Tesla knows better than me on battery health but it’s so odd coming from the Bolt where it was happy to take in regen literally any time but at full charge.

BMW has a feature in their new electrics that does adaptive regenerative braking where it smartly applies the regen braking rate based on the traffic in front of you so it comes to a stop automatically with the optimal amount of regeneration.

GM had the exact same problem as Tesla in a plant in Toledo in 2019, Henry Ford thought Hitler was an OK dude (and his company had the same racist crap at a factory in 2020, including a strike by all the white workers when someone actually faced a consequence for terrorizing Black people), and VW was founded by the German Labor Front. Musk is undeniably a chud, and he happens to be the current loudest chud in the industry, but let’s not pretend that basically every company isn’t absolutely packed with racist shits in the C-suite.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Whole lot of words to say “I bought a Tesla and here’s how I justify it” Honestly, I also bought a Tesla, and that's pretty much how I justify it. It's a great car. I have a lot of philosophical objections to what the company mouthpiece says, and, like, yeah, it's not surprising to me to read "car assembly line discovered to be racist AF". But I didn't buy the car because I wanted to stake out my position in the culture wars, I bought it because I needed a new car that could take road trips and I really like electricity. I also bought a Nissan and a GM, and I guess it's nice that they don't currently have CEOs firing their mouths off more loudly than Tesla's, but in the ranked list of things that are important to me about what I drive around, how loud the rear end in a top hat CEO is doesn't rank really high. I didn't have a Plymouth Horizon in the 1980s, but that decision had nothing to do with Lee Iacocca. cruft fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Feb 15, 2022 |
