I’m in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. It’s amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily there’s a ton of competition cheaters now

Just include a reaching leg thingy as well then you can drive from the right side too. Musk, if you do this I will sue you for “cheating”.

He chose to get cocky right when competition caught up

My dad was going to buy a Tesla up until a few years ago, there’s far more and better competition nowadays. And it’s really seeming Tesla’s are actively dangerous.

Don’t they have the highest amount of flaws among all car brands or something?

Sure seems like it, and I see an article every other week about the self driving aspect hurting someone or getting into trouble. Just not worth the hassle.

A conservative was talking at me a few weeks ago about how much he loved how Musk was pissing off the libs and about how he’s a shrewd businessman. I asked if he would buy a Tesla and he said never. He didn’t have a response when I told him Musk doesn’t sound like a good businessman.

What is at the top of your list? I’m leaning towards the Ford Mach E with awd but have only looked deeply at half of what is available. Tesla is at the bottom of my list also

Hyundai Ioniq is a sexy car.

My parents got a 2021 Mach E and they love it. I’ve driven it a few times. I’m eyeing one for my next car too, though I’ve also been interested in Hyundai’s offerings. I’ve never wanted a Hyundai in my life but their new EV lineup looks pretty compelling.

I’ve had my Mach-E GT for two years now and it’s been very reliable and very comfortable. There were a couple of small hiccups early on, but I can’t see going back to non-electric cars. Would definitely buy it again!

Mach e is up there. Currently number one spot is the Hyundai ioniq 6, it looks like a direct competitor to the model 3. Nissan leaf and I think Honda are in the running too. Idk gotta start test driving to really know. I’ll still test drive a model 3, but from what I hear and see I probably won’t go for it

Man those Ioniqs look so good in person too. I’m considering buying one for my wife next year, if I can convince her to get ride of her beloved Prius

My friend bought a 22 leaf last year and from what I know, she loves it. It definitely took some getting used to! We still normally take my car on road trips, though.

Well their brake lights wouldn’t turn on during regenerative braking and Hyundai has had some bouts of hacking scandals. But I have heard owners saying food things about them.

I was in the same boat as you having the Tesla be my dream car until all this Twitter shit hit the fan. My roommate has an Ioniq 5 which I liked so much I got an Ioniq 6 as soon as it came out. I absolutely love it.

Idk, from what I heard he barely spends his time with Tesla these days due to being preoccupied with twitter 😂
