    Counterpoints:

    • Cosmetic build quality issues aside, they require practically zero maintenance (tires and windshield fluid) and there are less moving parts to break. So far they've proven to be very reliable.
    • Driver feedback is subjective and I find your claim straight-up obtuse in meaning. I quite enjoy windy roads and the smoothness of the EV drivetrain.
    • The UX of my Tesla is practically-perfectly responsive and most of what you want to do has either physical or voice controls.
    • Autopilot is good bordering great but still needs work. FSD is indeed a pipe dream with the current fleet.
    • It's fast as fuck.

        Lol seriously? My passengers find the manual release by accident the first time they go to get out. It's exactly where you would expect it to be.

        "Extra! Extra! Some people are idiots!"

        Keep trying, bud.

      This applies to all electric cars, this isn't exclusive to Tesla. And other electric cars don't have panel gaps.

      Driver feedback is subjective and I find your claim straight-up obtuse in meaning. I quite enjoy windy roads and the smoothness of the EV drivetrain.

      The Tesla drives like an appliance, particularly in comparison to what are often considered "driver's cars". Nothing wrong with it, but don't expect car enthusiasts to like it.

      The UX of my Tesla is practically-perfectly responsive and most of what you want to do has either physical or voice controls.

      most

      voice controls

      Physical buttons are superior, and have been for decades. Voice controls and touchscreens are decisions made on a budget basis, not a UX basis, because they are objectively worse. It's corner-cutting, not improvement.

      Autopilot is good bordering great but still needs work. FSD is indeed a pipe dream with the current fleet.

      Are you calling Musk a liar?!? FSD has been coming "next year" for like six years now!!!
