These same people drive into lakes because the GPS said so.

I am inclined to agree, except that I've also worked at Tesla and they're not well designed or put together. They don't have things where every other car on the market has them, and some things fall apart easily or dont work in the first place.

Owning a Tesla is basically a scavenger hunt to find out where they cut corners during design and manufacturing. (Hint: It’s literally everywhere possible.) I’ve never been so disappointed by a car in my life (‘23 MYP).

Whats what we get for buying cars from a software company.

You’re right about that. The software is quite epic, compared to other EV manufacturers, like BMW.

The route planning for 1000+ km road trips is almost perfect.

And they also walk into mall fountains.

You’re totally right.

There is a manual door handle, which is not supposed to be used.

Most guests in my car naturally tend to go for the manual handle instead of the button, when not instructed.

So the people who claim to be locked are either looking for money or are total dumbfucks.
