Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:

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

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.

If you hate a company because if the owner, wait til you look up the owners/leaders/shareholders of most companies

I don’t think it’s fair to outweigh the contributions of the founders and engineers behind Tesla with one douche with a megaphone and too much money. There is undoubtedly just as much malice in other car companies, but they have the sense to keep it quiet.

The money spent to buy Teslas will go to the workers at a fair rate when the workers unionise. Until then, you're pretty much just paying Musk. You're not paying the workers.

IDK about the nazi thing. For me it's a combination of the fact that the car is handled like a piece subscription software by the company, the blatant disregard for local laws, and the general smugness of the the licensees, who'll call themselves owners, but that is only until Musk decides otherwise.

There are other great EVs on the market, and they don't come with subscription packages and proprietary chargers. Tesla is the MacBook of cars.

Mostly fair comment, but the Tesla charging connection is vastly superior. It will become standard I believe. Ford is adopting it and others are heading that way.

Teslas can use BOTH sets of chargers, but without a lot of hacking the reverse isn't true.

I'm glad Hyundai Kia are reasonable competition. It's sad other makers aren't.
