… and when you tweet or x (or whatever it’s called now) sh*t about elon your car drives away
lego car
I mean Lego bricks actually fit into each other without gaps
Not employing American auto workers union employees and having people work for the lowest wages you can possibly pay really leads to the most quality product imaginable.
Guess where a lot of airplane parts are made too.
Touché
His fans went from worshiping him and buying his cars to now selling their Tesla’s, ditching Twitix, and wanting to narc on Elon lol. Just amazing, how his luck, of his own doing, changed. However, he did get up there right? Where else is he going to go but down. I wonder who is the next person to replace until they get X’ed.
Setting them up and burning them down. Someday, it’s your turn.
Still waiting for my turn with billions burning a hole in my pocket.
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?
Almost everyone I know with an SUV only has one because “I might need the space someday!” And 99% of the time either leaves random shit in the back or it’s just empty.
Same things with trucks. That bed is almost always vacant.
But the one time they actually use it for the space, it’s suddenly all “see??? I sure am glad I bought a (blank)!”
There are a few exceptions I know, but if the ratio is anything consistent across America, it would explain a lot.
Meanwhile my friend who drives a Prius can fit a surprising amount of stuff in that hatch and still has better acceleration and gas mileage than any of them…
It’s interesting seeing how many around me have pickups essentially as a personality trait with a pristine bed. I only use a pickup when I absolutely need to because diesel is expensive and I get much better mileage in my sedan.
“Prius…better acceleration”
Lol
You’ve never driven one have you? Electric motors are crazy powerful and it’s all torque. My Prius can accelerate faster than my Tacoma. What you are seeing in people driving a Prius is trying to save gas by not accelerating hard. Just because they often don’t doesn’t mean they can’t when it’s needed.
The fastest Prius on the planet is 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. The slowest Tesla on the planet is 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.
“Faster than my Tacoma”. Is it also faster than your mountain bike? Lol
They were talking about SUVs ya dip
Last I checked Tesla makes 2 SUVs.
No one can brag about the acceleration of a Prius with a straight face.

This is objectively false. Unless you can prove that someone’s foot can change a cars 0-60 time.
Right, that Blimp person does not know how to drive obviously. As if every car has unlimited acceleration potential that can be simply unlocked by the human foot.
scooter riders enter the chat
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.
I just feel bad for people who went in during Elon’s “good” years (heavy quotations). He’s nothing but a glorified car salesman and a verified idiot now, but for a while there, some people just wanted a more sustainable car.
Yeah it was legitimately the only viable EV when I got one. I still love the car but am absolutely embarrassed by it because of that asshole.
That’s like saying you are embarrassed by an Android phone
Android was never the only player in the cell phone OS market. Tesla was the only player in the EV market until last year more or less
Last year? Dude there have been viable alternatives for years now.
Android is still the only player in the cellphone market if you don’t want to be treated like a brain damaged gerbil who can’t be trusted with accessing a file system.
Have you considered living your life and not worrying about what other people think?
Poorly worded on my part. I genuinely oppose everything Elon Musk stands for, so it’s more like cognitive dissonance than embarrassment.
There’s nothing wrong with or abnormal about being aware of your image or how you are perceived. Knowledge of self and self awareness and all that. Standard unavoidable reality of life.

Nobody follow this person’s advice. I am old, and one of the best things about life now is the freedom not to give a fuck about the dumbass judgemental thoughts of others. I do what I want regardless of what people think, and life is great.

Yes I agree. It’s unfortunate he decided to become the face and wallet of the right.

It was easy enough to excuse early on. There were signs of his terribleness but they weren’t much worse than other cat manufacturers.
Now? Fuck him. I’m never sending musk another dime if I can avoid it.

Ok fair enough.
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.
deleted by creator
And then all the people cheered and raised me aloft on their shoulders and made me their king. Which was nice.
Nah. I’m way too heavy for that.
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.
Damn, what a funny meme.
Im 🤣🤣🤣 and 🫄
These bad vehicles just ooze rottenness from every bad part… Simply bad beyond all infinite dimensions of possible badness.
Well, maybe they’re not that bad, but Lord, they’re not good.

Post by user bophia: Daily affirmations for tesla owners: your car is ugly as hell and everyone hates you
[I am a human, if I’ve made a mistake please let me know. Please provide alt-text for ease of use. Thank you. 💜]
The fact that they put the emergency release for the rear doors inside the speaker grille is enough for me to never buy one
What’s the better alternative?
Plenty of other car companies have EVs now. Hell, when they enter the used market, I may pick up an EV F150.
Any other car?
Not a car
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
Haha, my Tesla is awesome. Drive one.
I drove a Y for about 700 km this summer. It was OK.
I enjoyed driving an Audi E-tron much more. And my BMW i3 is a masterpiece as a daily city driver.
This. I’ve actually had people come up to me and go hurr durr fuck your Tesla. I usually ask them who the CEO of their car make is and they never know.
The group think is horrifying
Somebody who isn’t a giant asshat loudly trying to manipulate the populace’s political opinions.
Otherwise they would know. Being famous isn’t always a good thing.
Now if you asked who were the lead engineers/designers for said vehicles it would mean more about the vehicle itself (but most everyone wouldn’t have looked them up or found their names)
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’
People don’t have to interact with Elon when buying a Tesla. They do have to interact with dealers when buying another car. It’s not surprising so many people chose Tesla.
Reminds me of the bill Desantis signed in Florida a few months back making it so gas powered vehicles HAVE to be purchased from a dealer and cannot be purchased directly from the manufacturer. Telsa doesn’t get hit by that bill, surely has nothing to do with Desantis owning a Tesla.
And your car steals all your personal information because it is part of a massive data mining operation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcu2YUCa0lA
It’s actually a very pretty car, to be fair. Too bad it has the build quality of this spice rack
I mean it’s ok… It’s not ugly, but I personally wouldn’t call it pretty.
To each their own when it comes to aesthetics, I guess 🤷
The build quality is still objectively abysmal though, that’s not a matter of opinion…
Yea, the early ones were bad but current Model 3s and Ys are good.
I find that hard to believe since this is the kind of welding that they deem acceptable on an S Plaid:
I thought it was pretty when it was novel, but it’s been around long enough now that it just kind of blends in. I think it’s still a nice clean design, but not really eye catching anymore.
Pretty if you like flames, terrible if you worry about the environment, torn if you are both ;-;

That’s how they sell cars. Yeah they aren’t good, they have no quality control and they are ugly. But when the battery is full it goes really fast.

Have driven one and been driven in one. Shit experience. Felt like a dumbed down car that was uncomfortable. It has a nice display in the middle, but that’s it. The upholstery felt like it was done by some cheap shop that didn’t give a crap. It definitely didn’t feel like “luxury” or even your preconceived notion of what is comfortable.
it is not luxury. i don’t know where this comes from…? it’s all the cheap stuff, but it works and is fun to drive.
So you keep accelerating? There is more to pleasure driving than going from 0-60 in 3 secs. I would even argue that’s not even enjoyable
[…] credit where it’s due
yeah, well, i don’t think musk deserves a lot of credit here. i don’t think he had an awful lot to do with the design and engineering…
I’ll let people decide where the credit goes. It is funny that his name is all over Tesla when people talk shit, but if you say anything good about it he’s practically irrelevant.
I’ll say this: I like the cars, I don’t like Elon. Regardless of how much he may have contributed to the success of Tesla
Yeah and they have no top end
That’s pretty much every sporty electric car though
What are your top 5 in the USA?

I tried a few EVs, I’ve tried non Tesla charging stations. I drive a model 3 and I cannot stress how awful the experience of driving an EV (or even ICE cars) is shitty when comparing to a Tesla. I really can’t see myself buying something else for the moment. The whole driving, charging, entertainment experience is a complete bliss compared to other cars.
I’ve gotten a few Teslas as Ubers; the back seats are godawful.
What are you talking about? I’ve been in a bunch of Tesla Ubers and it’s comfy back there and you get a great view. Definitely better than the average Uber
Model 3 backseat is pretty awful for anyone over 6’. And I say that as someone who owns a model 3
