I have no sympathy at this point for anyone buying one of these pieces of garbage from a company led by a person who quite obviously a flaming piece of garbage, producing products that are quite obviously flaming pieces of garbage.
I mean, there are so many alternatives now, you really have to ignore how horrible Musk is to buy one of these, and you have to have your head stuck in the ground for a couple of years now to not know that Tesla quality control is diaper poo.
There aren’t alternatives is my part of the USA due to lack of charging options. That is changing now that Tesla’s network is opening up but that hasn’t happened yet.
So buy a hybrid, charge at home, and done. Is the environmental impact different enough from a fully electric vehicle vs hybrid, when you take into account the pollution from lithium mining and refinement? Not dramatically better, no. It's idiotic to buy a Tesla that is a flaming piece of garbage, just because it's the only option in a particular area or country. The simple solution is to wait until viable, good quality products are available. It won't be long.
I get it that people don’t like Elon. I don’t either, but I’ve gotta say the Tesla Model Y is my favorite car I’ve owned. I’ve owned 7 or so cars at this point.
I’d rather not own it at this point for Elon/political reasons but it isn’t because of the car itself.
Yes, expensive new car shiny. Right up until something or anything goes wrong with it and you get charged 10 times more than any other company and ripped off. I'm sure at that point your opinion about that car will change. perhaps you'll be among the lucky owners that don't encounter that kind of fun. Your solo experience means practically nothing.
Must be nice to own a home
Who said anything abt owning? U can charge a car with a plug socket it's just slow but if its at your house that wouldn't matter as much.
So are you suggesting someone in an apartment building should run an extension cord out to their car to charge it?
I'd probably just ask someone on the ground floor to use theirs and cover the added cost of electric
