    Man people in here like you legitimately sound crazy. Buying one of the best EVs makes someone a cunt? I hate Elon musk just as much as anyone but he didn’t create Tesla, engineer any of them, or build any of them… Y’all are too negative.

      Poor manufacture quality and you have to subscribe to use car features it already has. Good thing you can hack them.

        Data point of one, but I bought the cheapest Model 3 model back in 2020, added FSD (was $6k at the time I think) and have had no issue with mine. FSD is not ‘full self driving’, but I’ve been using it continuously since the update a few months ago.

        I despise car culture, and it is the least car like car that I could buy. It does most of the driving, it is safer than most, it has no ongoing emissions, and per mile is cheaper than a gas car.

        Efficiency, battery price for the cost, power, and charge time/long distance speed are measurably objectively in the top tier (although not uniquely so or not the singular best).

        Not worth it for the shoddy construction, abusive customer-exploitative remote control that means you never own it, false advertising, and cultural association (also not uniquely so).
