I'd rather buy a BYD on the low end or a Lucid on the high end, with many of far more interesting EVs all across the range. Not to even get to him as a person which is unappealing.

I live in the most Tesla filled city in the world. I'm a fucking dick to them. I'm sorry, but if you're buying into that Nazi's cult and I have the choice of being my usual kind self, or taking the opportunity to go ahead of you, cut you off, etc., I'm going to do the latter.

Really? I know a couple of people that had one, and the main reason for not buying another is they're the 90s Alfa Romeo of electric cars.

Looks nice but always at the garage.

tesla makes interesting cars, but i wait for the day they stop producing drive units, and start producing wheel drives. Hub motors are definitely the objectively correct solution when it comes to EVs IMO. There are so many more things you can do, and so many more options you're opened up to.

oh and they stop being proprietary garbage, perhaps one day we will get opentesla firmware, as a hack.

I'm curious- how do you feel about the Hyundai/Kia Uni wheel system?

The charging infrastructure isn't where it should be if people were really serious about EV.

That’s delivery of vehicles. Aren’t they famously way behind with long wait times? Actual sales figures would be a better gauge.

I don't think this is having a meaningful effect. Tesla'a biggest marketplace is China, and I doubt they care about American politics. It is more likely that China is discouraging people from buying Teslas due to American threats to ban Tiktok.
