    Shit on me if you must but I actually like the look and features of the car. However I likely wouldn’t buy a Tesla in general

      It could be a good vehicle, if it was built by someone else.

      The past few years have revealed that while Tesla have the tech, they lack the basic precision manufacturing that other automakers mastered decades ago.

      I agree, features are nice and I also would enjoy trying to drive one. But in a for a long term usage, I bet the reliability will be an issue and also some Tesla shenanigans such as 20k for the battery.

      Thing is: I personally don’t give a shit about features. I like simple and basic vehicles that last for many years.

      You’d like the “features” of any car, it’s why they’re features. It’s the tradeoffs that actually matter.

      And yeah, it looked cool at first, but that’s really just because of its uniqueness. From an actual design perspective, it just looks…stupid.
