    reddit's hivemind of "Teslas are shit cars"

    Has reddit-logo really changed that much since a year ago? It was a massive endless circlejerk for the Church of E-L-O-N back then, up to and including "ironic" pictures of their lord and savior presented as a saint in antiquity-style paintings.

    Are they awesome? IMO, yes.

      r/cars and other car "enthusiast" subs have been pretty anti-Tesla for quite some time, because Teslas aren't really anything approaching a "driver's car". They go fast in a straight line but have terrible feedback and handling.

        That must be the so-called circlejerk that the Tesla consoomer disapproves of because it isn't the logical rational Tesla circlejerk that was otherwise hoped for.

          They are extremely mad that car people don't like Teslas, and they post angrily about it on Reddit every hour of every day. Fortunately, Tesla people aren't "car people" so there's really no real life friction other than Tesla dorks probably showing up to cars and coffee all over the nation and feeling personally offended when nobody gives half a shit about their commuter coffin.

        When you think a meme absolves you from being a credulous and gullible consumer in denial about sunk-cost fallacy. this-is-fine

          If you actually knew what you were talking about you'd know the consumer reports report referenced in the article weighs cosmetic issues as heavily as mechanical ones. It's been talked about to death since it came out a while ago but yeah, nice yahoo link, bro.

            Any source that makes you feel a hint of buyer's remorse is a bad source.

            I really feel sorry for the level of sunk-cost fallacy you've sunken to, all so your bazingamobile doesn't seem like a bad choice. sadness
