  • 2024 Tesla Model S Long Range. Love the 600km range in summer. Love the Supercharger network and how the computer in the car knows where they are and includes it in my trip planner. Superchargers themselves don’t ask for payment, you just plug in and everything works. Love the power and how silent it is. Love how cheap it is to maintain and operate. I honestly don’t mind the touchscreen. It’s super fast (Ryzen CPU) and once you get used to it, you barely need to use it while driving. Charging at home is super easy and cheap. I only ever visit a gas station for car washes and it’s a great feeling to never have to worry about fueling up.

    The only downside is the up-front cost for the car and for a home charger. Yes, Elon is another downside but I’ve heard that Tesla is looking for a new CEO and he only owns 12% of Tesla stock so much less important than people give him credit for.

    If not going with Tesla, I would have chosen a Polestar or a Rivian but I’ve not driven either because there are no local service centers here which affected my decision.






  • That’s the opposite experience I’ve had. My Tesla has been flawless. Zero panel gaps, zero problems and it’s a blast to drive while being whisper quiet and ultra-cheap to maintain and drive. The supervised Full Self Driving is nothing short of impressive as it will signal, lane change, stop, merge and yield better than 95% of drivers out there. The Tesla supercharger network is the icing on the cake. They’re everywhere, they’re fast and trouble-free. The only real problem with Tesla is Elon himself. He’s such a fucking loser it’s annoying to be tied to him but I just think of all the good Tesla engineers and employees and I just don’t care who the CEO is anymore. People hate Jeff Bezos but they still use Amazon and people never liked Bill Gates or Steve Jobs but Microsoft and Apple are ultra popular. Now it seems Tesla will boot him as CEO and ideally buy him out. That would be ideal.
