Tesla is going to be scrapping a heck of a lot more if they don’t get their act together. This is coming from a Model S owner.

All they need to do is stop doing dumb shit.

I love my Model 3 but...autopilot is nothing but annoying. Give me standard cruise control back. Or at least make it an option. Why is that so hard? Stop putting fucking glass roofs on your cars with no sunshade. Not everyone lives in California. Give us back the God damn stalks and buttons. FFS, nobody wants this. Stop doing shitty software updates. I disconnected my car from WiFi because it has only ever gotten worse.

I use FSD everyday. I love my glass roof. The updates are great and have dramatically improved the car over the last 6 years.

Great?

I love my glass roof.

You must not live in a hot climate.

Care to share an example?

FSD is far from great. I’d say it’s unusable for me. On the way home the road curves slightly to the left. Pretty routine scenario. But, for whatever reason, my model 3 slams the brakes because it thinks it’s the end of the road. Extremely annoying and there’s nothing I can do about it. I drive on this road everyday. I never use FSD or the plain autopilot because of that.

Yeah it's one thing if it's included with the car. It's a whole other thing when it's $15k fucking dollars.

I got that dynamic full beam update just the other day

I'm surprised they didn't cancel the Cybertruck after all the delays and redesign work. It doesn't seem crazy to expect bad news about the new roadster.

Same. Model S owner and as much as I love the car, I just can't put money into Elon's pocket again.

Scrapping it in favor of robotaxis, which Musk calls the "future of mobility." I'm tired of billionaires selling me something new that already has an economical and environmentally sound solution. What a prick.

Elon already denied this hours before this was posted.

This under $25k EV has been "teased” for so long that it's probably going the way of the hyperloop.

Here is an article about said budget Tesla from 4 years ago.

4 years ago? FSD was supposed to happen "next year" in 2016. Roadster? Semi? Cybertruck? All 5-7 years behind schedule.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago

That’s still 25000 too many dollars anyway.
