Even the Tesla Cybertruck’s Brake Lights Don’t Make Sense::Brake lights shouldn’t be confusing, but Tesla’s determined to be different with the Cybertruck, for better or worse.

      honestly, if you even buy an Elonmobile these days, it’s kind of embarrassing… people will make fun of you behind your back now because of it and weird Elon bros will approach you. I had so many middle aged Elon bros come up to me and peddle crypto to me while I was charging, it’s crazy. you really really have to be a super moron Elon fan to buy one today

        Which really sucks because when you do the math for range and efficiency honestly nothing else really approaches the Tesla still. The closest is Hyundai with their iconic series but as aging Wheels did a video on recently the charging situation for non Tesla cars is just abysmal at the moment most Chargers are broken, derated, or just otherwise somehow not easily functional whereas the Tesla charging stations rarely have issues

        They really puts a wet towel on my desire to own an electric vehicle

          yeah they’re still capable cars if you can get over the terrible QA off the line. but like it or not, buying a Tesla these days is almost like making a political statement. it’s just way more annoying to own one these days than something that’s more low profile

          Weren’t there articles like literally 2 days ago beinf posted about how they lied about the range so bad people were taking their cara in for service because they thought the batteries were faulty? (Then Tesla gets to charge a service fee too)

            I didn’t see that, but I would not put it past them. However as mentioned the Aging Wheel videos shows how trying to actually charge your car anywhere other than home is a massive pain in the ass with anything other than Tesla which would still be a huge deal breaker.

        Nothing else comes close in price to model 3 in the us after federal tax rebate and not having dealer markups. After dealer markups the only one comparable is a Chevy Bolt that may be ~2k under the M3, but you end up with a car that has a top speed of 90 mph and abysmal fast charging.

        I would say ioniq 5/6 are better cars, but you would be looking at paying ~15k more.
