      r/cars and other car “enthusiast” subs have been pretty anti-Tesla for quite some time, because Teslas aren’t really anything approaching a “driver’s car”. They go fast in a straight line but have terrible feedback and handling.

          They are extremely mad that car people don’t like Teslas, and they post angrily about it on Reddit every hour of every day. Fortunately, Tesla people aren’t “car people” so there’s really no real life friction other than Tesla dorks probably showing up to cars and coffee all over the nation and feeling personally offended when nobody gives half a shit about their commuter coffin.

                  Occasionally a Tesla will be delivered with a body panel that isn’t aligned appropriately. It is promptly aligned at no cost to the owner.

                  Again… a ton? Or are you just complaining about something you actually have no experience with just because you hate cars and hate Musk?
