Selling pizza in a bar is like a step below setting up a Girl Scout cookie stand next to a dispensary. There’s no way it doesn’t work.

Nah. Something about belly buttons and the fbi. I, like most everyone else, stopped caring enough to actually look but I distinctly remember the belly button thing.

Where he failed so badly at doing so that the board hijacked his company and fired his rear end from his own company, named after himself.

Is it actually? I’ve actually never been in a Tesla but I find it hard to believe the interior is superficially worse than my Mazda 3.

If it is, I guess Tesla as a company is not long for this world.

I have a Mazda 3 and it's decent and solid, I've only been in a Tesla once and it did seem noticeably lighter and tinnier.

The comparison I've heard most for Teslas is materials quality of a Honda, build quality of a 1990s Kia.

And Honda would be a fine benchmark, if Teslas weren't twice the price

I only ever rode in one Tesla, which was an Uber, and it seemed pretty comfortable and nice. It was a Model S though, not one of the cheaper ones.

OK, jumping straight to shitbox is probably unnecessary, but I still guarantee you that a Mazda 3 has an interior at least equally as nice as any Tesla if not subjectively nicer depending on your options like leather. Tesla is all thin materials that wear and the spartan design doesn't do any favors for making it feel plush either. You might not get in one and think it sucks compared to a Toyota or whatever, but for an $80k luxury car it definitely sucks. When you get in most cars that cost that much you think, holy poo poo this is comfy and decadent.

Yeah looking into it deeper, the interior seems superficially like an upper level econobox at best except with weirdness like peeling yokes and the dash hood being as thin as a petrol station water bottle. Which I guess actually makes it worse, the only thing that I can say that feels a little cheap in my Mazda 3 is the piano black plastic that scratches easily (and Teslas also have that problem too).

Piano black is a plague and even high end stuff has it. My truck has matte black buttons and they look just as good as the day I got it.

Yeah if Teslas were $23k I don't think there would be so many complaints about the interior material quality. Try comparing it to other vehicles that MSRP for 80k+.

It's weird that Tesla's EV market share cratered when upscale brands like BMW, Mercedes etc entered the EV market with cleansheet designs that are a ton nicer to be in and cost about the same as a model S/X.

I don't even think it was elon being a dipshit that caused it it was just the market moving away from overpriced, overhyped and underbuilt vehicles.
