Tesla owners are expressing buyer’s remorse - if not by selling their Teslas, then at least with an apologetic bumper sticker.

    reddit’s hivemind of “Teslas are shit cars”

    Has reddit-logo really changed that much since a year ago? It was a massive endless circlejerk for the Church of E-L-O-N back then, up to and including “ironic” pictures of their lord and savior presented as a saint in antiquity-style paintings.

    Are they awesome? IMO, yes.

      r/cars and other car “enthusiast” subs have been pretty anti-Tesla for quite some time, because Teslas aren’t really anything approaching a “driver’s car”. They go fast in a straight line but have terrible feedback and handling.

        That must be the so-called circlejerk that the Tesla consoomer disapproves of because it isn’t the logical rational Tesla circlejerk that was otherwise hoped for.

          They are extremely mad that car people don’t like Teslas, and they post angrily about it on Reddit every hour of every day. Fortunately, Tesla people aren’t “car people” so there’s really no real life friction other than Tesla dorks probably showing up to cars and coffee all over the nation and feeling personally offended when nobody gives half a shit about their commuter coffin.

        When you think a meme absolves you from being a credulous and gullible consumer in denial about sunk-cost fallacy. this-is-fine

          If you actually knew what you were talking about you’d know the consumer reports report referenced in the article weighs cosmetic issues as heavily as mechanical ones. It’s been talked about to death since it came out a while ago but yeah, nice yahoo link, bro.

            Any source that makes you feel a hint of buyer’s remorse is a bad source.

            I really feel sorry for the level of sunk-cost fallacy you’ve sunken to, all so your bazingamobile doesn’t seem like a bad choice. sadness

            Imagine thinking there’s wiggle room for a ton of major cosmetic problems on a product that costs a full year of an average worker’s income.

                The fucking body panels don’t even fit correctly.

                  Occasionally a Tesla will be delivered with a body panel that isn’t aligned appropriately. It is promptly aligned at no cost to the owner.

                  Again… a ton? Or are you just complaining about something you actually have no experience with just because you hate cars and hate Musk?

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
