The Model 3 is a smooth, quiet, fast, and relatively stress-free ride and it's quite fun on twisty mountain roads. The only thing it's "lacking" is engine/exhaust noise.

The Rivian (I have a pre-order on an R1S) may look better, but its performance is nowhere near similar.

Rivian R1S/R1T at $70k (lowest spec):
4.9s 0-60
230 miles of range

Tesla CT at $70k (highest spec):
2.9s 0-60
500+ miles of range

I hope Rivian drops their price after the CT reveal because as of now the CT blows them out of the water in basically everything other than looks.

They put a hundred dollar "deposit" down. That's a lot less than was required on previous Tesla "reservations".

Tesla, as a company- sucks balls.



Solar City is just sad. What they are doingis criminal in some cases.



The power wall sucks. The solar tile sucks.



They are not following through on contractual obligations to their clients, leaving them spending thousands for various reasons.



Their turnaround time to remove panels from a roof is 8-12 months and then reinstall is “unknown”.



So you’re just left without panels, and holding the bill- average $4K-$10K to remove and reinstall, even though they promised flat rate of $500.00.



There should be a class action lawsuit coming.



They over promise and under deliver. On EVERYTHING.



Another poster hit the nail on the head- PT barnum incarnate. Musk is a wanker.



Thing that pisses me off the most is our tax dollars subsidize these stupid cars for upper middle class *******s to buy...



They sure do have some fan boys.



It’s like Jeeps. They suck but people love them. It’s an image to project.



Highest maintenance costs in the business. With slow turnaround times for any repairs being done.



Cutting corners, it’s the Tesla way. Their shit absolutely needs those every 12,000 mile inspection to fix all the shortcomings.



And don’t tell me “they’re new, growing pains” BS.



Not everything on a Tesla is low quality, but much of the components they choose are well below industry standards and it shows after a year or two.



Insurance to own is very high.



Musk decided to use you as a beta tester instead of properly testing his shit. That’s pretty shitty.



Tesla drivers have the highest incidence of accidents. Versus all other brands...



Oh yeah, the auto drive doesn’t detect vehicles that aren’t moving...whoops...



Their fatality rate is triple that of other luxury vehicle manufacturers.



But Eli doesn’t give a shit about you stupid people who he believes should die anyways to help save the environment, so he just lies about it every chance he gets and Tesla is not solving any of the major problems.



It’s a poorly run corporation that barely scrapes by in times of economic growth. Without the subsidies, it would be gone.



They will go out of business in the next 5-10 years and leave all you fan boys pissing in the wind with a vehicle that won’t last much longer than a couple of years without MAJOR investment.



Oh yeah, hope you like all the rattling and the non fix for it.



Tesla sucks.

I've done a complete 180 and really like the cybertruck now. A blacked out model would be awesome.

Speaking of 180, that's the price I should have bought some more stock at.
