I will never buy a Tesla. Ever. I would buy an EV, sure, but never a Tesla.

I could afford to get one and I would like to have an EV but I will not buy a Tesla also. The Twitter douche is part of my reasoning but also Tesla cars are THE WORST in regard to privacy as they collect a shit ton of data and upload it all the time. Mozilla rated Tesla at the very bottom of their chart of "from Bad to Worst" ranking cars on privacy.

I mean it's also a trash car with terrible UX design which should be your main issue with it, data collection doesn't matter when you crash your car because you need a touch screen for everything.

If someone gave me a Tesla, I’d sell it for cash to a teenager.

What, you hate teenagers or something?

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

They’re way too fast and heavy for a teenager. Scrap them for parts and EV convert a classic car that deserves to live on.

It would have to pull a Craftsman. "Same logo, same market segment, not even a little bit of the actual former company."
