I love Teslas though, has anyone in here actually ridden in one? The acceleration is absolutely insane. It feels like one of those roller coasters that launch you without a hill. If you test drive one and can even remotely afford buying it you'll definitely think about it for a while.
I'm no Elon fanboy, he's fucked up Twitter but credit where it's due
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
That’s pretty much every sporty electric car though
What are your top 5 in the USA?
Sorry, I have no idea as I don’t live in the US…
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.
That sounds like user error
I think I could manage to use these features without being a cunt but to each their own
You had been making some argument about how the drivers are cunts who cut people off and should have bought corollas... But that's kind of on them, no? What does that really say about the car?
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
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...
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.
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.
I mean yeah, they sell them by showing off what's good about them. And if you think they're ugly you won't buy one anyways but clearly a lot of people like how they look
Yeah and they have no top end
