Yet one more reason not to buy one of his fairly decent cars. I have 6 months left on my lease and want to try the electric world in retirement.
Please don't call my employer, master musk....
"Fairly decent" is a bit of a stretch. Panels come up, features sold to you that won't work and will endanger your life. "Fairly" standard for luxury rides amiright?
"Decent". Hmph.
Yes, I sat in a new model Y in the showroom and there was a gap in the dash. That was the best they had to show. The "decent" part is range and charging network. They work and get you where you need to go but Musk is a fragile rich prick that will never have enough money or power to satisfy his lust for such things.
I just can't fathom buying a luxury car and coping with "well it works and gets me where I need to go". If I'm spending that kinda change on a car, and also paying for its services in ongoing fashion apart from the car payment itself ... it better do more than just "get me there".
Agreed.
I remain a cautiously optimistic observer of the EV market. And if I do decide to take that plunge it will not be a Tesla. Even if he manufactured a perfect car, he has alienated me with his personality and rhetoric.
