Imagine if your printer was also your car. That’s what owning a Tesla is like.

    I don’t understand the Tesla hate. I think people have read bad headlines and assumed they were true. I’ve had mine for 2.5 years and still haven’t even had to do more than put in washer fluid and charge at home. I would hate having to go back to oil changes and gas stations.

      I hate Teslas because the owner is the company is a Nazi. I also think having a giant phone in the middle of the car is a bad idea, but it’s mostly the Nazi thing.

      How about the shit quality control (another ref) for starters, not to mention the broken promises (approaching false advertisement at this point). Oh and don’t forget the battery fires (oh, but don’t worry!! Phony Stark told us that only 0.01% of teslas have ever caught fire. Only 200+ times using goodcarbadcar, phew!!! )

      Your singular anecdote about having no issues is certainly indicative of the actual situation, yep must just be bad headlines

        Do you think that every time a gas car gets on fire it makes it to the headlines? Have you heard about selection bias?

            It burns much slower, not faster. That’s why it can burn for so long. And it has to be put differently. It’s like saying a grease fire is harder to put out because you can’t pour water on it. You can easily put it out by covering it, tho, same as battery fires.
