We've known for years that the owner is a lying, creepy, out of touch dipshit and that it's a very flawed car and the company will cut costs to save money on safety items, every time.

Electric vehicles with drive assist are awesome and are the future, but there are alternatives, especially if you have money, which a lot of Tesla customers do. And they're not particularly well built; how many of these do you think will be on the road 20 years from now? And now we've seen how Elaine runs their companies, why the hell would anybody put their trust in their products?

If you've bought a Tesla in the last five or so years, you're a damn goober in my eyes. That's my hot take, prepared for being called poor and other sodium, tear filled comments from fools whose opinions don't matter. You are the hardcore, foaming at the mouth Segway fan from the 2000s, have at me lol.

Update: The teary eyed, sweaty fingered responses to this are predictably hilarious. I've been called a guy that eats 4 pizzas a week in another old thread because of this, a cunt, a tool, a douche, a couple people spent their energy to tell me they don't understand me spending my energy posting this, some people are telling me something about Tesla or Elaine living in my head rent free. All genuinely pathetic responses, so GG lol. Cheers.

Really? From my vantage point, the majority of users here disagree with you. I guess that's data stating you're wrong.

[-] Imotali@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Users here who have not sourced shit and mentioned objectively false information.

Moment you put forth false info, I ignore your opinion as invalid. So frankly, idgaf what the very clearly incorrect people in this thread think. Their opinion is based in falsehoods.

Funny, that's what everyone here thinks of your opinion and stats twisting.

I'm not twisting any stars at all. If you have an issue with my math: present it or gtfo

  • Fact 1: you made a point how gas vehicles cannot use their full tank due to additional wear on the engine, yet neglected to do the same when stating range for EVs that have even more degradation on their batteries when going above 80% and below 20%
  • Fact 2: your statement in fact 1 is inaccurate, it's mainly the fuel pump that suffers additional wear and tear from running low on fuel. The engine only suffers when the gas tank is completely empty.
  • Fact 3: most people here are disagreeing with you. Just because you think you know better, doesn't make your statements any more accurate.
  • Fact 4: you're not a nice person, so maybe you should be the one leaving instead.

Enough facts?

  1. I didn't state it for EV ranges because my stated ranges accounted for that fact. To say "they can only use 80% of their battery charge" would be misleading in the context of the listed ranges.
  2. This isn't false you're essentially saying "you're right but it's mostly not the engine" in other words: you're being a pedantic git
  3. They can disagree all they want, I'm actually correct and have the stats (which you have yet to refute) to back my statements up.
  4. I never claimed to be nice.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
