      I do feel bad for people who bought Tesla EVs a few years ago, before mask-off Elon.

        Before or after he called someone a pedophile for not showing deference to his idiotic cave rescue idea? He’s been publicly questionable since at least 2018.

          I guess it depends on how long you keep a car, personally I usually go for a decade.

          I don’t have a Tesla though, just a ‘little’ Skoda Yeti :)

            I’ve had my car for 15 years. Also a Yeti, I’m Ship of Theseusing it to the end times. It had new tires, new suspension, new fan belt, new battery, new rear wiper motor, new windscreen, and a new wiring harness.

            It’s also been driven into a tree and brick wall on two separate occasions (not by me). And the radio has never worked.

            It’s rather like an unreliable tank, It can plow through anything as long as you throw money at it afterwards.

              This one’s never been crashed and the radio works :)

              But since Skoda in AU never paid for GPS or CarPlay licenses from VW, it doesn’t do those.

        I can see your point. Buyer’s remorse is real. Although, the cyber truck is an especially easy target because of its high price, low quality, and poor styling.

          I saw one a few months ago and I don’t think any two panels were square with the neighboring panel. They were all at least four or five mm out of alignment.

          So it’s no surprise that water gets in and they catch fire, it’s not really a solid object, as much as a collection of loosely associated pieces.
