I admit I own a Tesla. Given all the recent erratic behavior:
About the only way I’ll change either of these will be for Elon to step down and completely remove himself from any control over Tesla. But I don’t see that happening and I certainly won’t be holding my breath.
I at least don't blame you. They used to be the best EVs that you could get. May I ask what model year and how you like it as a car, independent of Musk's PR shenanigans?
‘21 Model Y long range. Overall it drives well, and the supercharger network is really nice. We took it on a trip up & down a good portion of the east coast last year and never had any issues charging it. We have a couple 30 lb dogs that love going for rides, so things like dog mode are really nice as well.
Things I really do not like:
Pretty much all of these are reasons why I refuse to even try FSD and discourage others from using it. About the only way I’ll give it another chance is if a truly independent third party tests it and says all these issues have been resolved.
I feel like this point can't be overstated enough. When I need to go somewhere, I shouldn't need to reorient myself because the car receives software updates all the time. A device that's constantly changing is inherently unreliable, even if technically it's improving over time.
