Wait what’s wrong with Tesla products? In my experience they are the most user friendly cars ever built. I never have to think about it — it locks, unlocks, and turns on and off without intervention, it opens and closes my garage door without intervention, it “has a full tank” for less money, and a conditioned cabin every morning (haven’t been to a gas station in 5 years), and I never need to think about oil, belts, or rotors needing attention. Autopilot and FSD significantly reduce my workload in the drivers seat. It’s not perfect, and Elon Musk is a total asshat, but I can’t think of a more revolutionary user experience when you consider what the other automaker’s offer. I can’t stress enough how easy my Tesla makes the act of transportation.

So why the hate? If for the ties to Elon, I get that and am fully on board, but I feel like most of you have never actually experienced the product?

Edit: Y’all have failed to convince me that Tesla ownership is equivalent to printer ownership.

Doesn't most of this stuffapply to basically all EVs?

I have done zero research and I know these dealbreakers:

Microtransactions for a car (e.g. autopilot features, features already built-in, but subscription locked)
A tablet on the dashboard is a UX nightmare, since it can't be used blindly (you should focus on the road, please).
The futuristic retracting doorhandles are a nightmare for firefighters, since you can't easily pull people out of crashed Teslas.
The whole cybertruck debacle
Wasn't the estimated reach that the car supposedly had explicitly programmed to overestimate?

Edit: aparrently, the doors are very hard/mostly impossible to open when the power goes out.

I definitely do not want to defend Tesla here, but other manufacturers are unfortunately following the same path. It's ridiculous. BMW is putting most of the extra features into the car on a technical level, but lock them down so you can't use them unless you pay a fucking monthly subscription for e.g. the seat heaters. What the actual fuck has gotten into manufacturers?

And the touchscreens? I'm soooo glad that the German equivalent to road and safety announced that the safety rating of cars will go down in the future if there are no haptic controls. I definitely like a sleek appearance, but form follows function for fucks sake.
