  Yeah the only reason I keep looking at their Tesla is so I am prepared to dodge it when it goes Kill All Humans mode.

    Oh the default mode then?

      Nah, that’s a paid upgrade. Default on the poverty-spec models is Kill All Children

  I’m a solid thousandaire who bought a used Model 3 in 2019. I’m one of those fuck cars people, but living without one is not currently possible for me, so I went with one with a high safety rating, low maintenance, and no need for gas. Since then, I’ve bought one set of tires, refilled the windshield wiper fluid, and had a few car washes. It’s been pretty great, as a car.

  The only problem is… random pickup trucks and Dodge Chargers act crazy around me because the existence of EVs apparently threatens their masculinity. My mom sends me random articles where someone who has no idea what they’re talking about complains about the car being a death trap. And now that Elon Musk won’t shut the fuck up, I get to read the random ramblings of petulant children online who can’t fathom that people might like something they don’t.

  Fuck me, though, I guess I’m a member of the bourgeoisie now.

  It’s kind of wild my opinion of Tesla in 2016 vs now. They went from this super cool car company to a really expensive unpolished turd. I figured at the time they would fix their quality issues as they are a new car company figuring things out. Legit worst quality cars on the market. About one step up from 80 GM Fremont Assembly with beer cans in the doors. Toyota help fix those issues in quality but Tesla has not figured it out and it’s funny it’s the same plant. Riven seems to be making a decent truck right now along with Lucid as new players in the market. Then add in the Elon factor. Had he kept his mouth shut he could have been remembered really well. Now you could not pay me to own any of products
