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

  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.

        No clue why people are down voting you for doing what I was too lazy to.

      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.

      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

        No it was in Norway. Tesla sold 21303 new cars in Norway in 2022. Total new car sales for Norway in 2022 was 174329. Tesla Model Y is the most sold new car in Norway and Tesla is the largest brand. Totally electric cars is 79.3% of all new cars (Norway has pretty generous tax incentives on electric cars making even high end Teslas pretty cheap)

        83 out of 168 cases that ended up in “consumer court” (that is they have not been resolved without mediation) was Tesla. These cases are mostly not cosmetic but more serious issues that has not been resolved.

    Disrupters like Tesla?

    • FakinUpCountryDegen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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…
