What a whiny miserable article. Half the crap they're complaining about are common features on late model cars.
Are apprehension mounted 6 weeks before we got our car... come on...
This is the first issue cited. This is neither normal, nor convenient. It's an obvious cost saving measure and is part of the classically cheap low end feel only Tesla can provide.
Side mirrors? Pain in the ass fake iPad app.
Windshield wipers? Pain in the ass fake iPad app.
Odometer? Pain in the ass fake iPad app.
Etc. Etc. It's cheap, it's bad for usability. We all know this is like this to save a few bucks on screen design and UI buttons across the car.
Teslas are a colossal pile of shits. The article mentions problems with newer cars after 9 years ago - and yes, they are all colossal piles of shit too. All new cars are now moving towards demanding you auto update their software and hand over your sex life and location data, and when you do, they lock your car for 24 HOURS to update that shit.
The only answer is to go after cars older than 2010. They run better, way more reliable, last longer, don't spy on you and are way more comfy.
Which brands are locking vehicles for 24 hours for software updates?
Or, you know, Hondas. I bought one earlier this year (civic ehev) and it's what you would expect a modern car to be, with physical knobs and everything where you expect it. Not all new cars are shit.
