Yep. I wouldn’t want to make it into a list but bmw and mazda are already on my blacklist

Eh, it’s preferable when companies go ahead and self-identify as being comprehensively dog shit and worthless.
Just another company to throw on the list who will never receive a single dollar of my money as long as I live.
Won’t lose a wink of sleep over it. Good luck, Mazda.

Yep Mazda is my first auto maker blacklist… I’ve got Sony at the top from numerous incidents around 2004-2006, and Google since 2016. (obvs can’t get 100% away from Google because they keep buying companies, but I only need to get rid of my Nest and Fitbit shit to be completely google-free!)

What do you do when they all do it, though?

Buy a dumb car again, as long they’re still around 😊

Motorcycle?

I’ll move closer to the city and walk or use public transit.
Frankly, that’s unlikely. The free market will always make sure someone is there to disrupt, and I’ll always support the disruptor.

It’s already happening lol. There are no privacy-friendly modern cars.

I supported the disruptor to cable so hard they became the thing they disrupted and now I don’t have netflix
FakinUpCountryDegen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Really? The most expensive Netflix plan available is still 1/5th what the TV portion of my cable bill was…
I still have it, but honestly probably not for long because I just don’t use it. Sail the high seas and don’t support the culture-destroying shit!

Perhaps for chapter consumer products, but starting a car company that produces normal mass produced cars is not really done overnight. And Tesla produces the most shite cars of all of them only really disrupting by cutting out customer service at this point.
FakinUpCountryDegen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You’re probably referring to that study showing Tesla with 250 problems-on-delivery per 100 cars… I don’t own a Tesla or know anyone who does, but it’s worth noting the vast, vast majority of those problems are cosmetic, and fixed before the car leaves the customer service facility. If you see the graphic for that study, there are some pretty huge names way down on the list just above Tesla - and those are not mostly cosmetic issues.Image

Disrupters like Tesla?
FakinUpCountryDegen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You’re right, Tesla has certainly been a disruptor in some ways - nobody could argue with that…
I assume you’re baiting an argument of some sort, based on experience with the maturity level around here…
