Comment on Tesla’s in its flop era
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 months agoYet another CEO of a luxury item company that thought fame made him untouchable finds out that running your mouth off will turn people off from buying something they don’t actually need. If you sell a product favored by progressive and left leaning individuals and go on right wing rants you’re gonna have problems. That, and massively under-delivering on promised car features.
*I figure at the price point Tesla cars are they are indeed a luxury item. It’s a luxury to be able to afford them and afford the statement an owner makes by buying one (early adopter, environmental, whatever) There’s plenty of ICE cars, hybrids, or PHEV that are cheaper, more reliable, and have better service availability.

Tesla has luxury models and trim levels, but I’d say several variants of the Model 3 and Model Y are fairly price competitive with its competition, especially if accounting for government tax subsidies.
The average new car transaction is about $47,000, and several Tesla options fall well under that average.
Yeah, but I have to say the one Tesla I was in for an Uber felt cheap…I wanted to like it despite Elon but it wasn’t built well inside. Cheap plastic and such…I’m not the most experienced but for the price I thought they’d be nicer.

also moving all the controls to a touch screen? stupid. A car isn’t a smart phone
