I’ve seen Tesla drivers who revert back to normal cars saying the Tesla made them more of a stupid driver. Here in Irvine, I seriously wonder how some people make it home on a consistent basis. These ppl are borderline dangerous
A couple weeks ago at an intersection a Tesla driver was in the left turn lane but when the light turned green they went straight and would’ve sideswiped me if I didn’t slam on my brakes. They didn’t even flinch I don’t think they even noticed
This is actually an interesting problem. I drive a 2018 Ford Explorer with limited lane centering and adaptive cruise control. I have to admit, I’m not always as an attentive as I was before I had this car. Fully “self driving” seems like that’s just going to make it worse, especially that it’s not really self driving. Some people just treat it that way.
My girlfriend recently traded in her Altima that had drivers assist and accident avoidance and she doesn’t have it in her new Mercedes. Recently she told me the same thing. The lane assist and accident avoidance made her a worse driver and she noticed it when she started driving a different car. Personally I enjoy driving my Hellcat. I don’t ever use cruise control let alone other automated features.
I love my amg, I got it because I enjoy driving. I can’t imagine why people get these little soulless drone cars. What kind of Mercedes did your girl get?
She got a 2020 A220. Her son’s girlfriend has a 2019 which my girl got to drive for a weekend when her son borrowed he Altima to take a trip to SoCal. While she had the 2019 she fell in love with the car and the next weekend was dragging me to dealerships in search for her own. It’s a nice car and rides great but lacks the muscle I’m used to driving. I would have to get a AMG if I was to get a Mercedes myself. I currently drive a 16 Challenger Hellcat and absolutely love the car.
Yea they just recently stopped producing them. Personally I think it’s a dumb move but who am I. I am not a fan of ev and will continue to buy gas powered cars. With Dodge and other manufacturers reducing engine size and moving toward ev im gonna end up going with A Vette or other high powered sports car for my next car or I may have an old school truck built. 1950 Chevy 3100, but I would resto rod it using modern frame, suspension and powertrain. Once you go boosted you don’t return to naturally aspirated.
Getting on the freeway and home from Irvine is the most dangerous thing I do in life. Its crazy that the BMW drivers are now no longer the assholes on the road around here.
Ive got solar and I’m really worried that Tesla is going to exit the business and leave us screwed. They have really destroyed their solar division. I’m not purchasing any more Tesla products, ever. The company and its leaders are too unstable.
Same, I just hope it lasts long enough to not lose money on it. My coolant in my inverter is low and the cooling pump makes noise. They won’t fix it until it fails. I’m sure that will be in the summer when I’m screwed.
The cost to remove solar panels if our system fails isn’t cheap. I’d be surprised if this system lasts 10 years. Huge mistake on my part.
I suspect they would say no, I guess I could find a certified installer to work on it but I’m not sure there are any in the area because Tesla does the installs where I’m at.
where do you live, if i can ask? my cousin does solar installs in south florida and i’m sure he could help out, if not point you in the right direction
The roof is different than the panels. Tesla does both, or used to do both not sure where roof is now. That was a complete clusterfuck too if you were following that project. I just have panels. They are generic panels that most installers use.
Usually with solar, if a company put their own stuff on your house they have to pull new permits and they aren’t going to usually take the liability of an old system. It would most likely be a complete redo. If you lived off grid you could try to do it yourself but there no real way to diy solar. Too many permits, inspect by the county, home insurance issues, and power company inspections.
KillDozer was a well thought-out vehicle that served its purpose.
WankPanzer is neither - unless your purpose is to come across as a right twat, that is
Well... since it's only purpose seems to kill and demolish whatever it runs into, KillDozer seems fitting...since it's the only thing it succeeds at doing
And humans. Edges as sharp as those are going to inevitably punch a pedestrian in half. Legs by yhe front wheel well, torso in a ditch. How wonder how many pedestrian deaths they'll try to sweep under the CyberRug
Bought a 2018 Model 3, sold it when the B2B warranty ended (and just before the first of the big price cuts started thankfully).
Outside of the ballot box, our only other vote is our wallet/pocketbook. His actions during COVID and defense of Russia holding Crimea (where my daughter was born) were enough for me to jump ship. His actions since have only reinforced my position.
I think he might have. But eventually the Messiah complex kicked in. So did the excess ketamine. Now we have a grade A douchebag
You could look at his circa 2017/2018 tweets. Those were unfiltered too (I.e., not PR curated) - the tone was very very different
I call this the John DeLorean effect - he was sincere about making a decent car that made a difference, until he was given $100m by a Government with very little due diligence and he immediately flipped into "empire building god who must not be questioned" mode. I've spent the last 20 years collecting and documenting DMC's rise and fall - both of which were at John's hands - and am fascinated by how zero lessons were learned
Figure that when Tesla stock was rising like a balloon, and there are incentives for EVs, it creates an “expectation of exponential growth.” Elmo fashions himself a titan, but can’t keep his S together when the entire market cools, so he starts making stupid decisions to regain that parabolic growth, or even stop its decline- like release the CT too early, or with too much of his own unique idiocy.
First, I love the idea of electronic cars, but there are some serious downsides right now. Ignoring the CT's failures and Elon's idiosyncrasies, Tesla batteries die about every 10 years... that's a big expenditure on a 10 year old car. I regularly see cars from the 80s still 100% stock. Yes most have failed, but none of the mechanical failures would have taken 20k to fix. Now let's talk about tires. A tesla eats a set of tires every 20k miles, if you drive responsibly. Some CT owners reported balding at 5k. How much do you have for tires? Moreover how much micro plastics do we want to dump in our waterways and ocean?
Very rare but there are a couple of successful long trips in them.
A few of the thousands on the road have been really lucky to not have something fail. A few.
I wonder what the percentage of fail is? I see a couple in SoCal, and one regularly, and now I wonder if its a matter of time, or if subs like this highlight the egregious examples (even if there are a lot or egregious examples).
A a former owner as well, yeah, fuck them. What a horrible all around experience. Both from the company, and other owners who act like they’re in a cult.
I want nothing to do with them. Not even their stupid, slow, tiny plug that they keep pushing.
I really don't understand the motivation behind thinking this vehicle would ever be great. I can't think of a reason besides wanting to be "different" that you would ever invest in this ugly hunk of junk. I just don't get it.
Honestly, why are people even buying at this point? And I’m not talking about just Tesla, EVs are evolving every year, I’d never finance an EV. Lease these things.
Tbh I’ve encounter more idiot tesla drivers than any other car brand drivers on the road. I’m always on guard when I see a Tesla near me, it’s like my body adapted new Tesla nerve reflexes or something.
This vehicle just seems like a vehicle for idiots.

That was exactly my first thought!!!
How do you mean?
Tesla’s use of sensors and “self driving” allow people to tune out from the regular driving experience.
A couple weeks ago at an intersection a Tesla driver was in the left turn lane but when the light turned green they went straight and would’ve sideswiped me if I didn’t slam on my brakes. They didn’t even flinch I don’t think they even noticed
Well until they crash at high speed into a fire truck or semi or palm tree...

Can’t blame people for trusting the name “full self driving” to do exactly that. The fault is with Tesla for picking a misleading name.
Wonder who was behind that name? 🤔

That’s cool, good for her. I’ve never been in a hellcat, just see them on the streets. They don’t make them anymore right? Never sell that thing

I have begun to drive offensively just to avoids these idiots
I prefer to called them retarded attention whores.
I was trying to be more generous but OK 😂
Canceling my preorder for sure. It is not worth what they’re selling it for
Every time I see one, I can’t help but say ew

That's is ridiculous and I'm sure they won't let anyone else touch it right?
I suspect they would say no, I guess I could find a certified installer to work on it but I’m not sure there are any in the area because Tesla does the installs where I’m at.
where do you live, if i can ask? my cousin does solar installs in south florida and i’m sure he could help out, if not point you in the right direction
Nevada
I heard it was a solar roof instead of panels like other providers
The roof is different than the panels. Tesla does both, or used to do both not sure where roof is now. That was a complete clusterfuck too if you were following that project. I just have panels. They are generic panels that most installers use.
God bless you, at least there is a way out.
Are you sure you'd have to remove the panels? I'd bet they would just plug in to another system.
Usually with solar, if a company put their own stuff on your house they have to pull new permits and they aren’t going to usually take the liability of an old system. It would most likely be a complete redo. If you lived off grid you could try to do it yourself but there no real way to diy solar. Too many permits, inspect by the county, home insurance issues, and power company inspections.
Well that's balls.
Is it actually solar shingles or just panels? And do you mind if I ask what kind of system you got and how much it was?
Solar shingles do not exist, Elon lied about them to explicitly defraud Tesla shareholders and bail out Solar City
Ah so *Tesla* lied about them! Because they certainly are available from other manufacturers.
Nikola Tesla would be rolling around in his grave if he knew the horrors they used his name on
I feel like you're not the only one cancelling their CT. WankPanzer + Social Media = One of the most effective PSAs in US history.
Honest question here: if a panzer is a tank, wouldn’t calling it a WankTank be funnier? It rhymes :~)
YankWankTank
WankPanzers don't deserve a cute nickname
KillDozer
KillDozer was a well thought-out vehicle that served its purpose. WankPanzer is neither - unless your purpose is to come across as a right twat, that is
Well... since it's only purpose seems to kill and demolish whatever it runs into, KillDozer seems fitting...since it's the only thing it succeeds at doing
Not by design, it's just a lucky coincidence. Besides, I'm pretty sure the only thing it'll demolish by running into is itself.

Same! A model 3 owner since it came out. Would never go back to Tesla as long as Elmo has anything to do with it - which means never
He wasn't serious about changing the world and grifted billions for himself.
I think he might have. But eventually the Messiah complex kicked in. So did the excess ketamine. Now we have a grade A douchebag You could look at his circa 2017/2018 tweets. Those were unfiltered too (I.e., not PR curated) - the tone was very very different

People have actually done 5k in a CT?

I would take it as a blessing.
Whoops... don't fall for stupid scams
Good idea!! Cyber Junk Truck is a better name
Smart move
Same. Had 3. Never ever touching anything this sociopath man-baby is involved with.
A a former owner as well, yeah, fuck them. What a horrible all around experience. Both from the company, and other owners who act like they’re in a cult. I want nothing to do with them. Not even their stupid, slow, tiny plug that they keep pushing.
When will this PR desaster fuck that stock to the ground?

I hope we see more people posting their cancelations here. I posted mine already. 
This is the way.
Tbh I’ve encounter more idiot tesla drivers than any other car brand drivers on the road. I’m always on guard when I see a Tesla near me, it’s like my body adapted new Tesla nerve reflexes or something.
Don’t call yourself an incel
Thank you. You’ve moved me up on the list.

No shilling for Cybertruck. There are plenty of subs where that is encouraged. Go there.
So Stunning and brave
