Indeed, a good driver assist system (which let’s not forget, that’s all these are) will let you defocus on the pertinent activity of monitoring your driving habits in return for being able to keep an eye on how the car reacts to vehicles around you and the overall road conditions. As my uncle who drives a SPA Volvo…

it wouldnt be apples fault, they are working with apple to prove he was playing a game, and thus was distracted. not sure why apple would help though.

> If you think it would be easier to transport a million people to another planet and somehow terraform the planet than it would be to simply emit fewer oxides of carbon into the atmosphere here on Earth, then Elon Musk definitely has something to sell you. And really, that’s the point.

YMMV I guess. I have a friend with a 2015 Model S. It’s had one door handle replacement, and that’s basically it. Surveys of Tesla satisfaction are generally pretty high overall.

Exactly. In fact the Mach E has some VERY serious and basic problems with the controller units inside the battery packs: Turns out they overheat on rapid charging stations requiring a complete teardown. So basically from the get go the cars were delivered with undersized components. That’s more than some poorly…

Guess you didn’t read the whole thing did yuh?

They very happily own a pair of Ford Mach-Es now.

Surprise Surprise... everyone predictably piled on when I dared to state something that doesn’t go along with the popular narrative. How very original of you guys.

The Mach-E had some serious battery failure issues. GM had mass recalls with the Bolt. At least most of Tesla’s issues are cosmetic.

This is really not a Tesla-Only thing. Anytime a company introduces an entirely new model there will be first-year quality control issues. Yes- that goes for Toyota too: The latest model Tundra had issues with timing chains detonating and the new Tacoma was recently featured on a Youtube video where the differential…

China is basically the equivalent of the nosy HOA Karen that falls down claiming you hit her even though you have the whole thing on camera and she was actually the one assaulting you.

Yeah... China suing anyone for undermining WTO rules is a joke.

They won’t take it back either. They will stay Teslas sucks..

Holy fuck, and you guys kept harping on the Tesla design. The lady had 8-fuckin minutes and she wasted them. If you are so drunk that you’d use 8-minutes to call your friend while your car is sinking, I don’t think it could possibly be designed well enough to make up for such poor inebriated decision making.

Thanks, someone could walk onto any dealers lot and drive off with a new truck with a cover like that installed. And yet I have never seen Jalopnik or anyone write an article about bed covers being unsafe.

Way to not do any research before your Tesla shit post of the day!

This is a dumb complaint. I’m 99% sure my Silverado doesn’t have an escape latch in the bed. If it does I have zero clue where I’d start looking, and I would also need a flashlight.

You wildly underestimate the speed, accuracy, and control that the government can perform with when it is a matter of national security.
