So are SUVs from BMW, Porsche or Audi. But heh I live in Europe, I guess the trucks in the US are way worse.

Aren't you guys seeing a surge in SUVs and similar kind of "useful" vehicles?
Unfortunately yes
Sorry to hear that, then. One could hope the government tries to step in, but there sure will be loads of people to try and defend their right to buy wannabe monster trucks to haul their fragile egos around.
Fuck Elon, but dammit, Tesla cars look sleek, this guy is wrong.
And Superchargers >>>> Every other charger as of right now.
They look old compared to other new cars, i've seen enough of that design.
The Tesla Y gotta be one of the ugliest cars from behind that i know, it does look like a Model 3 just out of proportion.
Yeah the Y is proportionally all wrong haha, it looks like an overweight 3. The only Tesla I like is the S but still much prefer an i4, or even an EQE.
or even an EQE
the front just doesn't look good imo. they just replaced the... grill? (idk what you call that) with a flat piece of carbon instead of just
a) removing that part of the design (like tesla did with the model 3) or
b) putting a fake-grill on the front
it looks okay otherwise, so i guess if you want to you could also just replace that plate with a grill
why would you sign up to pay elon every time you want to charge your car? like bro cut your loss already theres a reason the dudes the richest person in the world he’s already fucking owners who need warranty/fixes
and the way he’s dropping his MSRP the resale value are gonna be tanking cant wait when he decides he “needs” to charge more for electricity now that the price is so cheap and the resale is gonna tank even more
You can charge your Tesla anywhere, and charge other EVs at Tesla. Works both ways. So raising prices wouldn't really work.
why would electric charge stations compete with themselves? the only competition will be who can charge their customers the most. have you not been paying attention?
why do gasstations compete with themselves?!
But they all offer the same fuel lol, it's not like EVs where there is just a different connection.
charging stations offer the same fuel, too...? and the plugs are compatible or you probably have an adapter. i'm not sure what you are trying to say...
For me the worst part about Tesla's (and other electric cars in general) is when you're driving behind one and they have the regenerative breaking set to maximum. When they release the gas and start coasting, they decelerate a lot quicker than I do when I start coasting behind them which forces me to brake constantly.
maybe just keep a bit of distance and don't climb in their trunk? that also applies to non-EVs driving in front of you.
Haha, my Tesla is awesome. Drive one.
Agreed. Love my Y but fuck Elon Musk.
i don't think a lot of people are driving a tesla because they ant to give money to the musk. i also don't think that guy had a lot to do with
- the software
- the build quality
- the design of the car
other than 'i want that' or 'looks good to me'
What's the better alternative?
Like every other electric car!
the ones that use about twice as much electricity? or the ones that are way heavier because they use a bigger battery to compensate for the higher usage? say what you will, but tesla are pretty efficient
I was downtown last night and a Teslord pulled through a light late when there wasn't space, blocking the crosswalk.
I yelled "fuck your Tesla!" at them and got more support from the people around me than I expected.
that's a move no driver of another car brand is capable of, and if it would have been a bmw the crowd probably had started yelling at you.
in this thread weird nerds/bots/tsla pr marketing department gonna risk it all for elon
you know tesla does not have a pr department anymore? beepboop
I gotta give it to them.
The first two cars looked nice and they were the first to understand what makes an electric car good.
But they fucking lost that too by removing everything from the dashboard and moving to a single screen in the middle. Their build quality is shit (Even Trabants had smaller panel gaps holy shit) Repair costs for simple fixes are out of this world (There was a video where a technician repaced a hose for the cooling system for 130$ where Tesla wanted to replace the whole battery for 20000$) Elon is a nutjob that keeps breaking promises.
