Teslas are boring. There are only 4 of them and they all look the same. (And the cybertruck is an abomination, sorry if you’re going to buy one; good luck surviving all the steel balls people will be throwing at you)
Nobody is going to buy a cyber truck because they will never be mass produced
Saving your comment so I can get a good laugh when it is released.
What a stupid take, but par for the r/technology course.
EDIT: The steel ball thing was terrible optics, granted, but that was also, like, the 5th time that ball was thrown at the window. Bullet-proof glass still spiderwebs when hit. Get over it.
No, they dropped steel balls onto separate glass pulled to the side, which didn’t break, then they decided to hurl steel balls at the prototype they had on stage. It broke the glass, twice. It’s on video, y’know?
Do you even know where you are?
Yep, r/tech... er... c/technology. Same thing.
Don't worry Tesla owners, this guy's better than you and all along knew that he should be buying hummers.
This smugness from basement dwellers is flat out embarassing.
"If you don't spend tens of thousands of dollars on a luxury car, you're a smug basement dweller."
Don't own a Tesla, probably never will, just recognize the cringey basement dweller behaviour of everyone in here gleefully pretending like Tesla's are any different just cause they don't like the owner now. It's a bunch of hater energy losers dunking on an easy target.
You're 100% right but don't expect r/technology to accept it.
Swing and a miss, sparky. I’ve been driving electric for the last 7 years but have no interest in Tesla for a wide variety of reasons.
Also I literally told you why I don’t like them — there are only 4 of them and they all look the same; do you think maybe the fact that they’ve become so ubiquitous over the last few years and so samey could contribute to changed perceptions of them? What’s new in 2017 is old in 2023.
Just try and be a better person/contributor around here. Smarten up.
Oh noooooo. Thanks for that single issue that's entirely subjective.
Meanwhile; they provide the best performance for the price, putting exotics 0-60 to shame. Have the best charging infrastructure. Get great range despite the recent hit pieces.
But no, they're just copy/paste pieces of shit. All hail anybody but Elon!
Please list them, and don't bother with panel gaps that are either fixed for free on the spot or not long after.
Somebody better tell this to Rivian and Polstar or, shit, any. other. manufacturer.
Get back to me when that lawsuit is resolved. I will say, I'm supposed to get 333 miles from my Model 3 LR and it's closer to 280. There is reserve battery past 0% but we shouldn't count that.
Yes we all saw the article posted here a couple days ago. Curious, did you see the posts about how there are manual releases easily found and if you can't find them you're kiiiiiiiind of an idiot?
Sorry, still cool 2 years later
Another sign you've bought into the bullshit. Manual controls override all AP/FSD activity and the drivers were at fault of every single crash. Find me a single instance where the driver was found to interrupt the system and it ignored them.
You're just admitting that you're doing the polar opposite of sucking Elon's dick. You've proved you've bought every single hit piece that came out. Congrats. I'm going to continue enjoying my marvel of engineering.
They’re fine cars, they need a refresh is all. You’re reading way too much into this. They’re not copy-paste, they’re ubiquitous and as exciting as a Honda Civic in terms of looks, to me at least. 0-60 time is fun, but so are physical buttons.
You know he’s never going to marry you though, right?
What? I thought you said this WASN'T r/technology?
The only person bringing up Elon Musk is you. The only person offended (apparently) on behalf of Elon Musk is you. Sort yourself out.
I couldn't give a fuck about Musk. He could die tomorrow and I'd say "Good for him." What I think is hilarious is the assumption by you and others in these comments that my drive to correct them stems from some love of the ugy.
Sort yourself out.
Says the guy who a.) brings him up in a discussion that wasn’t about him and b.) doesn’t know where he is. Sure.
I see inferring from context isn't your strong suite.
“I don’t like the cars that much because they’re boring”
You infer —> “You don’t like Elon”
Oh please continue to teach me what I meant by what I said, oh master of inference.
Again, reading comprehension.... get some. My original "All hail anybody but Elon!" was aimed generally at the migrated r/technology chuds.
Do you see yourself in this video, or do you lack that level of introspection?
