We have one. We got it before Elon lost his mind. We aren’t rich but hubby always wanted one since they came out . So one day a tree fell on his previous car, and well, the buyout helped us to get the car. Now here’s some funny things to know -
1) I won’t drive it. It’s nice but it’s convoluted compared to other cars. Too many menus on the screen and the whole car depends on that screen. It’s like driving a car with your phone.
2) hubby likes my electric SUV more or at least appreciates its practicality much more than Tesla.
3) it’s resale value is in the toilet now. If it was bad before it’s not even existent now bc the politics of it and we aren’t even 🇺🇸 but not too many people are eager to get a Tesla.
It’s a nice car though. The technology in it is really innovative. You can tell someone really wanted to break the mould of the traditional vehicular experience. But it’s just not for me.

@DoubleRings yes, the 2 tone is bothersome

@DrWatson Cold climate or not, I would not trust one to park it in my garage. I know someone who had a truck (they later got recalled) that shorted out and set their home on fire in the middle of the night. The family got a settlement from the auto company and moved away, and they’ll never park a vehicle in a garage attached to the house again.

As far as the machine itself, it is phenomenal. Achieving 0-60 in 2.3 seconds in a production car is unheard of, whether it's battery or gas-powered. It's well designed and put together. If the stench of liberal politics wasn't all over it...I would consider one for around town. Musk is developing an aluminum-based battery, which is expected to be much more powerful, cheaper to produce, and lighter.
However, watching libs destroy each other's cars has been fun!

I would of it wasnt limited to charging points. And the ultimate control of it by Tesla themselves.
For example. Self repairs and modifications are a big no no to them.
I don't like the fact that for whatever reason someone somewhere out there can just "kill" the car where it can't be driven unless released by Tesla.

Ford guy here. Love my maverick pickup. Ford has so many recalls now it’s ridiculous and quality has gone downhill since 2000. Might be interested in a Toyota pickup since they don’t have recalls. Definitely will be looking at and test driving a Tesla though. Would never ever even consider a Chevrolet as they have been and always will be JUNK. They should park the car crusher right outside the factory door and drive every new Chevrolet straight into the car crusher and immediately eliminate all the pain, anguish, and suffering involved in owning such a disaster.

YES!!! I would insure it for replacement value, (assuming I was rich), and have a custom paint job on it that says, "I LOVE ELON AND DONALD TRUMP!"
I would never have to charge it! I could just leave it here in the parking lot with my nanny cam systems (because in this fantasy I am rich),and allow the vandals to have their fun, and I could do it OVER and OVER again and press charges EVERY TIME! The vandals would NEVER learn, and I don't think it would EVER get old! 🤣🤣🤣

@TexChik Saw a video this week of a covered area in China for parking E-bikes. It caught on fire, a huge blaze, hundreds of e-bikes and think there were some E-cars as well since they got the price down to about $12,000…and they said in the video that a lot of E-bikes and cars had caught on fire in China. There was a cargo ship full of Chinese made battery cars that caught on fire, total loss.

@BrandNewMan Oh, which EV would you prefer?
BrandNewMan · M
@Nimbus For what I expect to need .. none. I would more likely be looking at diesel pick up truck. I like the look of the Rivian truck /SUV .. but cost relative to conventional is a concern and not sure of EV technology yet for durability/ towing.

@Nimbus Yes! Elon Musk has "somehow" gotten the federal agency that keeps up with car accidents, including those that catch fire for no known reason, to stop reporting on the Tesla models. They can and do report on all the other cars in the US though. Certainly seems pretty fishy to me! It's almost like those officials were getting paid to exclude all of Tesla's cars from their reports.

@samueltyler2 You may have just alleviated some peoples misgivings about them for mostly they get a bad press from the media.
