PSA: musk is a fascist and Nazi. Buying cars from Tesla directly supports him and thus all the terrible things he does. There are lots of much better electric cars if that’s what you want
Edit: I sure kicked a hornets nest saying maybe not buy from the fascist. To be clear: almost every car manufacturer has EVs now, multiple models. If you can’t find one of those that’s good deal and just have to buy Tesla, maybe you just really want a Tesla idk. If you want the ‘good deal’ I highly doubt Tesla really stacks up, but the best deal as always will be buying something used.
I’d buy Chinese if I could, but I can’t. Chinese cars are the only cars that are as high of quality in the infotainment department (the most important part of a car), and I’m absolutely pissed that that is the reality.
My lightning is a gigantic piece of shit. It’s been in the shop 40 days in one year of ownership. The infotainment screen software runs at 15fps. VW doesn’t have an electric option with at least 320 miles of range (afaik) and their infotainment center screens are way too small (15” is the minimum at which a screen can be useful). Rivian is unaffordable and has the same slowness problem with their software. (Tesla does the right thing which is putting a processor that’s way overpowered in the infotainment stack which means that the software will be 120FPS for years to come)
Aren’t Teslas famously NOT high quality? Like, at all? Glued on plastic body panels and whatnot? Can’t take it through a car wash without frying all the electronics (oh, but don’t worry, we added a special “car wash” button just for that!)?

Not just buying.
Even if you had yours from the salute, or whatever, he’s still using your driving data to train their self driving softwares.
They’re still selling your data to whoever, too.
Including actions and conversations in and around the vehicle.
Yep, and seemingly zero good processes around the handling of the video.

Rivian. VW. Hell even a Ford f150 lightning. The choices arent just between China and Tesla.

Then there was the bumpers fall off in the rain era, and the “we finished the car with bits from Home Depot” era.
