    Eat shit, Elon. I’ll import an EV before I give you any money. I hope your new car flops, and you get four flat tires for the rest of eternity.

    Given how stripped-down the Model 3 and Model Y already are inside, it’s unclear what would be cut. The proposed Model Q could use cheaper or smaller batteries, less powerful motors or perhaps an even cheaper interior. Tesla could also cut out the “Full Self-Driving” hardware, but the dishonestly named software is so key to the company’s current pitch as an AI company that it’s hard to imagine it happening.

    At least for me, I prefer a cheaper and simpler car that’s close to 100% reliable over some super fancy and expensive assistants that only work 90% of the time. Until we really reach fully autonomous cars, all these autopilot features aren’t really a selling factor to me.
