    What are we doing criticizing tesla? I’m by no means endorsing Elon musk but I think it’s best not to get cought up in the politics of this all, teslas are still some of the best value electric cars.

        Ok i’m willing to die on this hill. I completly agree with you on the cybertruck, it is a truck and trucks suck. But as for the smaller cars the dangrous fudge on wheels part is probably due to people misusing the self-driving feature, if you use your tesla like a normal car and not like a self driving car then it is really good.

        On second thoughts the main issue of tesla seams to be that they have horrible quality control, which definitely kinda sucks.

          Musk faked the self-driving feature in the presentation, this feature is extremly risky in the Teslas, with erratic behavior, eg. causing accidents with random emergency breaks on the Highway and other issues, and yes, the quality of the cars are disastrous. The quality of Teslas including selfdriving capability is worse as those of any other e-cars from Japan or the EU. General valid for almost all US cars, because of this in the US the people prefer European and Japones brands, but only few people in the EU and Japon buy US cars. The difference is, that in the US the professional training of workers has nothing to do with those of European or Asiatics, which training is min.3-4 Years with final examen. In the US, in the factory, they show to the worker what they have to do in the production, without great technical explanations. As said, fast and cheap more important than quality.
