How about we appreciate the cars for what they are, and leave your personal feelings about others’ political views out of it.  So sick of this site’s politics on their sleeves...

A Venn diagram of those 3 is pretty much a circle.

And Trump.

i have friends who love their teslas but admit there are many issues with them. One guy has multiple teslas, I’m pretty sure at least the S, X, and the 3. Funny thing is, I only see him driving the 3 and never their X. For all the production issues and panel gaps, it seems that the 3s may actually be the less problemat

I know 2 people who lost fingers from sticking them in the inside hinge. I also saw/gave a few concussions from people who were hit with minivan sliders or car trunks. Though those were all human powered closures. The newer electronic ones are much gentler.

To be fair, I’ve done it, my wife has done it, my daughter has done it.  Almost always when we were young.  Hurts like a MOTHER, and gives you are black fingernail for months, but all of us healed.

I’ll never understand this “Elon Musk can do...” type of argument. Because Elon Musk probably cannot do whatever feat of ingenuity or technical prowess ends that statement.

They are sweet, but the vehicle has to be minivan-sized for them to work (or, at least have a massive cargo space behind the second seat.

They’re stupid on a supercar too. Too heavy and add nothing of value.

Doors like this on anything other than a supercar is fucking stupid.

The door didn’t close with the child’s head locked in it. Nobody was hurt. You guys are really stretching with this one.

This is the crux of it, right here.

I place no value on the life of someone I don’t know.’ ~ paraphrased.

Part of living in a society, is to live among people you don’t know. Caring for people - or at minimum, accepting that they are living human beings, as complicated as they may be - is required for a society to

Killing people over a few hundred bucks is stupid and barbaric actually

You are an actual psychopath or you are doing a bit.

Statistically you’re more likely to eat your own gun than protect your car from a crackhead. Good luck with the odds!

Seems like a rational set of rules and diligent enforcement are most of what it takes.  Imagine that.

Awww, ain’t that cute.
