You have buttons on the wheel and voice commands. But it must be nice to stay in your little ignorant bubble so I will leave you be now.

Disgruntled ex employes say a lot of stuff. No proof though ;)

Also Elon bad, yeah no shit all people with that level of money are generally assholes. But a company should be able to chose who it does business with no?

Based on the fact that Tesla receives top rating in all collision tests in all countries ( as far as I know ) https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model+y/46618 https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/tesla/model-3/37573

I believe your risk assessment ability may be lacking. Tough the Wish ebike might be safer as it likely will not run.

our Mazda has headlights that turn with the steering wheel

That sounds pretty cool, but also horrible if they fail as you seem worried about, when they are pointing to the side. I am partial to the little extra lights that shine to the side when turning sharply. If they should fail they will not impact the vision ahead.

automatic folding mirrors

Yeah, we disable ours in the winter because of issues when snow and ice builds up and they automatically try to fold in or out and get stuck. Disabling them in the winter time works well. I just use them manually when it is safe to do so. Quite nice in tight parking garages.

I sometimes notice a slight delay in releasing the brakes when I take my foot off the pedal.

An Audi Etron in Norway just had a complete failure of the breaking functionality. https://dinside.dagbladet.no/motor/skrekkopplevelse-vi-hadde-griseflaks/80583545 It is in Norwegian but you can right click and translate to english ( at least in Edge ). There is still a mechanical connection to the breaks most likely, but it is hard to break hard enough when the car weighs 2.5 Tons.

And that crash at the Peace Bridge

Have not seen that one. That is terrible. There should be complete separation between the software that controls the drivetrain, breaks etc in a modern car, and the part that plays spotify. In my car atleast. I can reboot the screen that shows the map, spotify, and speedometer while driving and the essential car functionality such as breaking, gears and blinking still works with no issue.

Fair enough then :D

It's completely out of your way if you don't go looking for it. For those that enjoy it it is great. Too bad you are so close minded and simple you can not see other people's point of view. How limiting it must be for you.

Not rich, older Model S with warranty since it was sold by Tesla. 24K USD split between two people is quite affordable.

Well, I don't think they are making cars like that anymore sadly. Would be cool with an EV that aged well because of no screens.

I looked up the interior for the Tuscon and yeah it's clear that they don't really know how to handle implementing a large monitor in a car. It has bad design, bad placement and bad software. Try test driving a Tesla sometime. You might like it. I come from a Kia Sportage 2012 Diesel so I had quite the adjustment to make but I am happier for it.

My car is. It's also one of the fastest family sedan on the road, it has almost zero maintenance cost. The future is now old man, sorry if you can not keep up.

I don't like or understand it therefore it is stupid.

My wife played some Fallout Shelter while we were in the carwash one time. I played some arcade game while in the waiting with my daugher while the wife was inside the store getting some groceries. It's pretty neat. And when we go on a roadtrip next summer it might be nice to play a game of chess while charging.

 

Denne boikotten som kun rammer Freia, virker litt selektiv og prinsipielt lite gjennomtenkt.

Jeg tror det at kjøp av Freia produkter bidrar til penger i kassa hos Russland ( Pengeflyten går Freia -> Mondelez -> Skatt til Russland) er litt sårt for mange.

På tross av at Freia ikke er Norskeid er det mange som har en slags nasjonalfølelse knyttet opp mot flere av produktene deres. Har selv kjøpt Freia produkter for å dele ut til venner og familie i utlandet. Det er teit å ha en emosjonell tilknytning til en vare, men melkesjokolade har vært en del av livet og et Norsk symbol siden jeg var barn. Det føles dermed mer sårt enn f.eks sjampo eksempelet i artikkelen.
