Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:
Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

Admittedly a scathing burn, but in my experience not at all the same. I have had so many printers with connection issues, overpriced ink that dries up, and constant mechanical jams that I’ve sworn off ever owning a printer again and made my department paperless. But all I had to do for my Tesla is connect it to wifi, and every few weeks a no-hassle software update delivers some useful new features. I’ve never met a printer that improved with time.
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.
Having a Tesla is one of the most liberating experiences. I don't have to go to gas stations, I don't sit in lines at the gas station, I don't even have to turn the car off. I get to where I'm going stop the car. Get out walk away without doing anything at all. I didn't put it in park. I didn't turn it off. I just opened the door, walked out and closed the door and the car did the rest for me. On a hot summer day and I'm coming back out with a bunch of frozen groceries. I tell the car to go ahead and be cold inside before I get there.
Sure. The owner of Tesla is a giant jerk but that doesn't change any of the benefits. The full self-driving feature is absolute garbage. Don't trust it. Don't buy it. But in terms of a car being a good car, it's a great car. The center of gravity is practically in the road. It's a very difficult car to flip. It's structurally very sound. If it catches fire, that's a super bad time. Mine is all-wheel drive so it's super zippy from a light, corners really well, and is a lot quieter than other vehicles I've had. To be fair, those other vehicles were loud sports cars, but the point remains.
Is the car perfect?? No. Is the owner an a sshole? Yes. Well worth every penny, and the operating costs per mile are multiples better than the other vehicles I own.
Oh, yes, there's nothing more imprisoning than having to turn your car off. I can't imagine how people are able to deal with it.
