AndreTheGiantBoned posted:Yes, if I ask people who I know and actually own the vehicles, they do not report any displeasure or frustration with their acquisition?  the reason they aren't rank eligible is because tesla denied the ranking company permission to seek feedback from its customers in all 15 states that allow it to do so

AndreTheGiantBoned posted:Tbh I think that the thread is mega weird with respect to Teslas. If it were according to this thread, they would be murderous pieces of poo poo on wheels that randomly combust. If we're doing anecdotal experience, neither of the people in my life who drove Teslas had them for more than two years, they both threw in the towel citing maintenance costs. And here in good ol' Baltimore Teslas definitely rank among Challengers and 3-series in the pantheon of drivers who will absolutely just shove their cars through your life. I think it probably also has a lot to do with Tesla's litany of deplorable practices. Setting aside the recent battery range stuff, here are a few highlights: Investopedia posted:On July 17, Tesla settled a 2020 compensation lawsuit over claims that directors overcompensated themselves.3 On July 11, Tesla settled a class action lawsuit with Tesla Solar Roof customers over 2021 price hikes.4 Like sure, I could roll the dice on a EV with a history of being wildly misrepresented that is markedly less safe and substantially more expensive than it's competitors, or I could just get a Prius that won't leave me trapped inside the car if the battery runs out. While I agree that there's a bit of tribalism running through the thread, I think some of it is a natural consequence of Tesla's vehement fanbase bending over backwards to defend an overpriced, underdeveloped piece of trash.

When I said Model 3s were lovely I didn't mean they were all deathtraps that fall apart, I meant they were uncomfortable and had more problems than an average Chevy or Toyota, while costing 5 times as much to fix.

I thought it was just hyperbolic humor, but after sharing a bunch of news articles about teslas catching on fire I think goons have convinced themselves its gonna happen any second with every tesla around them, rather than scattered blowups around the US. lemme tell you about my 2 friends, who are OK with their purchase...

redshirt posted:I can't say I see any notably bad driving from Teslas. I only ever seen two Teslas around here and only ever at the intersection before the on ramp to the highway. Glad to say they both make use of the advantages of electric motors and accelerate to highways speeds quickly. The only thing worse than a Tesla is people who merge onto highways doing 20 under the limit. They need to die.

I drove an electric Volvo around LA for a few days. It was quite nice. It felt like a regular Volvo, except I was constantly worrying about my charge level. The massive number of miles you need to drive on a hot day means you’re basically required to charge an EV every night, and you’ll watch your charge drop precipitously in real time as you drive. So I can’t imagine how bad it is for cars that actively lie to you about how much charge you have

One of my buddies has a Tesla but it's at the garage right now, and he says it takes literal months to fix, and there's only 9 Tesla service points in the entire country. Personally, I love cutting off Tesla's on the freeway because I know their dumb AI autopilot will brake for me.

My mum got one of those scam texts which says something like "hi mum, I lost my phone so I'm calling from a friends, and I need to to contact me via this number", and even though I pointed out that it was incredibly obviously a scam, she still demanded I contact my brother via messenger to check. When I asked her if she'd tried just calling him, she was all "but if it's true, then there'll be no answer?!?"

I don't know if y'all remember when the Avalon Troubles were happening, with them going crazy and Toyota saying it was the gas pedal getting stuck in the floor mats? I had one during that time and the fix was to change my accelerator pedal to some electronic thing. Anyhow, every now and again I'd get looks in the rear view of the person ahead of me, they'd see it was an Avalon and they would get the hell away from me. I found it hilarious, but now I kind of feel the same about Teslas. Is it going to malfunction and ruin my day? Maybe not but I'd rather be away from it regardless.

Lol remember when the Audi 5000 had "unintended acceleration" in the news and its reputation was so irreparably hosed that Audi had to change its car naming scheme and almost exited the US market

We got a Hyundai Ioniq 4 used a few years ago and it's been trucking along just fine since 2020 when we got it, so I guess eat it all Tesla owners.

Too bad the Cybertruck didn't start to get consumer production up to speed a few months earlier, would have very much liked to see them caked and destroyed by the desert mud like every other vehicle out there

im one of the ~100 people a year to drown in the cybertruck because I didn't read the manual where it mentions the vehicle is 100% buoyant for about a minute (which is the time it takes for the engine compartment to flood)
