Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

leaf and prius are both such poo poo. its a testament to how bad the market is that people are still forced into buying them because they are still the best available green options at that price point.

leaf and prius don't have production issues like teslas, but they're bad cars to begin with. teslas are great cars with some production issues getting blown out of proportion by short-sell cheerleaders and social media

lol Jesus Christ what farts have you been huffing

glad we are getting to the bottom of the yospos tesla-whipping fetish: its not that you’re shorting the stock, its that you all have poo poo taste in cars, even though u have the p deece six figgies

kotex, have you sat in a tesla yet?

i have not been in a model 3, but the model S interior is sad. it's cramped. it's ugly. everything feels cheap. it is reminiscient of a 1990s chevrolet

and that is before we get to the driving experience. sure, it's quite fast off the line. but it weighs the better part of 5,000 pounds and has a suspension made of chinesium. and it overheats if you drive it too fast. a sports car, it ain't.

i don't doubt that tesla owners, being luxury car buyers, are willing to put up with endless nonsense in the repair department. they are not, however, going to keep buying teslas with cheap lovely interiors just because it says "tesla" on the front

audi and jaguar and lexus, luxury cars made by actual car companies, are going to ruin them

that makes it even better since then it meshes with the various federal TLA investigations

(the solarcity deal was very obviously a conspiracy by management and a non-independent board against stockholders -- there was no way it would ever be profitable for TSLA)

iirc this was 'faked' in the sense that it had to be specifically programmed to the course and wouldn't work at all otherwise

magnetorheological shocks are a thing and have been for about 15 years, and are used in everything from high end sports cars to pickup trucks

probably the closest thing to that video that is in production is the suspension on the current gen s-class ( and presumably now it's competitors) that scans the road surface and prepare the suspension

Mercedes brands theirs Magic Body Control and it doesnt work at night
