It's hard to know how many truly kiss his ass vs how many are afraid that if they say anything bad online he'll make some calls and their car will stop working or their repair office will tell them it's not fixable nor under warranty leaving them with an expensive pile of inoperable junk.
Being that he's cancelled preorders of vocal critics and has been caught purposely breaking things for critical accounts before at xitter, it's not actually that far-fetched a fear.
Interestingly enough, there is weird place where i observed identical behaviour: computer game mods. True, they are usually free, but any complaints or questions are often delivered with massive amounts of asskissing in case modder in question is an asshole with huge ego (plenty of them are).
Not in the USA, but I've been seeing more and more BYD cars lately, really cool to see. My city's buses are all CRRC electrics too. Had the libs seething over alleged "Uighur slave labour" lmao.
not all of them... they just get a hefty terrif and they do not get the EV tax credit. but we can get Volvo and Polstar EV's and they are Chinese... I will stop my rant on how the US keeps knee capping them here ... but I have thoughts ...
So many people are wired directly into the propaganda. Their feeds are directly in the stream and they literally have no idea that Teslas suck, or any number of other things that we find pretty self evident
One of Tesla's "innovations" on the cybertruck is doing away with all the "messy" individual wiring harnesses and running a single one throughout the car which daisy chains into the individual components.
Which is why we're gonna start seeing a lot more of these catastrophic failures soon.
Yep. This is similar to the way ring circuits work, and those were done for the exact same reason: saving on copper. I lived in a building where all the light switches and outlets were inexplicably wired in series, and it was super fun how any time anything went wrong there would just be no power til maintenance came and fixed it.
I have an acquaintance who bought a Tesla (not the truck) and has done nothing but complain about how shitty the build quality is and how cheap the interior feels. Instead of realizing that he got scammed, he's just decided that he must not have gotten an expensive enough model, and is looking to drop $75,000 or so on the next model up. It's nuts.
It really is wild how the design philosophy of American production is "build cheap bullshit and then charge more money so people assume it's higher quality than it is"
Another big Tesla stan and YouTuber took his on a roughly 1200mile road trip.
The range in the real world was so bad it barely got over 100miles before needed to recharge, Tesla also hasn't realised/dealt with the fact that the charging cables on a lot of the Tesla supercharger network aren't long enough to really reach the CyberTruck charging port because of its shit location, and the infotainment screen (which does basically everything) broke twice for hours at a time going black and unresponsive.
All of the reviews for this POS mentioned how the steering wheel wasn't actually connected to the steering, it all runs through the buggy ass computer instead, and literally all of them tried to spin it as a positive by saying "it's just like how modern airplanes work!"
The timing of "it's how airplanes work and nobody complains about them" perfectly coinciding with it coming to light that all the planes we build are total pieces of shit was pretty funny.
"It's just like an airplane, it's doors are barely bolted on and everything"
Saw a bizarre interaction between two Tesla drivers.
I was a passenger in a Tesla, and we were waiting at a red light. Another Tesla pulled up on my side. The driver of the Tesla I was in rolled down the window on my side and leaned over, and the other Tesla driver rolled down his window and they both started talking about each other’s Teslas. Asking shit like “Is that the Model X?” “Oh no it’s the Model Shit v5”
How does the steering and brakes of a brand new car simultaneously catastrophically fail? I know that Tesla is run by imbeciles but I still don't understand how that could happen
I've yet to see one in real life..I'm surprised because rich fucks here both love sucking off green things and having giant trucks for their totally outdoorsy activities like driving to a paved park trailhead.
