minus-squareLimonene@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·8 days agoNo, not even if Elon divested. Teslas are bad cars. They are unsafe cars. They are very expensive for what they do. They are electric, but there are better, cheaper electric cars. They are also highly connected cars, which unfortunately is the same as all current cars. My ideal next car would be a 2015 Accord, with no GSM/LTE connectivity.
minus-squarerippersnapper@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 days agoExactly, even minus the Nazi thing they are terrible products. And they’ve been terrible for a while. The only good things were the first mover advantage, battery tech and supercharger network. Meanwhile the competitors like BYD have caught up.
