Tesla vehicle discussion. No Elon or stock chat.

I think the cops will take this seriously.

How the actual fuck does that whiner have 872k followers on YouTube... Jesus.

I’m a @snowcat fan.

The hate is all bandwagon hate imo. He’s a good guy.

Snowcat hate is like 89coupe hate. They've both said too much dumb shit to not make fun of them.

... brake checking is something that needs to end as it's incredibly stupid on a lot of levels.

reminds me of my experiences in the dash cam thread lol

I think one of his vids went viral and sub count goes up. But view count has been pretty low for a long time until this video which is getting quite a bit of attention.

I'm surprised people still do dumb shit since cameras are everywhere.

Another cut to the standard features. The mobile connector is no longer included with the car. haha.

Truth be told, I have 2 that I never use. I'd get the HPWC over the mobile connector for $260 more for charging at home.

[eglove]

I use my mobile connector all the time. I didn’t get the wall charger for the garage. Didn’t think $600 was worth the couple hours time saved overnight

sucks though for new owners as they’ll have to have that all sorted before they get their car.

Are any Tesla owners considering other electric cars that are coming?? If so which ones??

Not a Tesla owner but really like the Ioniq 5. Figure Ill give it year or two to iron out the usual first model year issues.

[vengie]

Agreed on the Ioniq 5.
I think that is the most sensible, affordable DD electric car out there.

On the upper end I'd like to see what Lucid does.

Seems like an inevitability that one day passenger and back seats will not be included and will have to be purchased separately. Elon will justify by saying that logs showed almost no usage.

He did that will passenger lumbar support.

It's interesting that people cry foul when features, that aren't used are removed. Sure, I would prefer that the the price of the car goes down as a reflection of that, but we all know that isn't going to happen.

I hate packaged options, but I also cannot afford the bespoke model that Porsche employs.

Many cars just carry around dead weight for motors and other things that people simply don't use. I turned off the mirror dimming in my cars because I can't see shit at night with my tint and dimming enabled. There was a 6 month period where dimming mirrors were provided.

They cut the frunk mat just before I took delivery of my first car. I was annoyed. Turns out, I never use the frunk and it would be just be a 1lb of weight that I carry with the car all the time and have no use for. There is an argument to be made about the car's efficiency, but we all know most of these cuts are to get more profit to Tesla.

I have a deposit down on the Genesis GV60. Current M3LR owner. If I like the GV, I'll be ditching the Model 3. Most of what I love is because my car is electric, most of what I hate is because it's a Tesla.

[dirtsniffer]

wait.. teslas don't come with dimming mirrors?

It's a $60+ electric car. It should come with a basic charging cable but as you say it's another cost cutting move that fattens Tesla profits. Seems to me like Elon is attempting to cash in while he can as he knows this is peak times for his company and once legacy automakers get their EV's out in mass quantities it's going to be downhill for Tesla.

Could be this - if the mobile connector is so "wasteful" then why wouldn't they just make it an option when you purchase. If you don't want it - price reduction $200 or select something else of similar value, mats perhaps. If you want it, price is MSRP.

I call bullshit on his data that shows that the mobile connectors are not used. The majority of Tesla owners that I know use it for at home charging and take it with them on road trips too. (me included)

Cost cutting measures with no savings passed along to the consumer after a year of steady price increases seems legit.

They do. But there was a period where the "option" was removed. Early 2020 cars didn't get it and I think some really early Model Y.

Like the ambient steering wheel and seat option in GMs. Edit: the option to not have it, was removed.

[googe]

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on an S. Might go as far back as 2020 to current if I find a used one that looks attractive, mostly because the wait is so long.

For folks who keep up with the incremental changes and sneaky deletions, are there certain model years or features that are better than others? Any "must haves"? Like better battery tech, better processor, etc? I definitely want the latest and greatest self-driving capability and range.
