Elon Musk has gone full antisemite, raising questions about the future of his companies and their relationships with commercial and government entities.
tesla is not the premier car manufacturer. Their cars are dogshit with terrible QC… they just got the current gen tech out before the others (by cutting corners).
as for space ex, their success is largely in spite of his meddling. he has no freaking clue what he’s doing with an aerospace company.
You might not like Tesla, but this comment is a bit against reality. Their cars are consistently rated as 8/10 or 9/10. You don’t get there by terrible QC. Subjectively, the way they designed the interiors is brilliant, compared to other makers who just tried to make more of the same they were doing last year only with an electric motor
Rated…by…whom?
Have you not seen the long list of recalls, making Tesla the most recalled car brand in history? Sure a fair chunk of those are OTA sofware updates…but still there’s a reason they got out first- cutting corners. most of those software updates are fixes for things that should have been found in testing.
also a quick google search will turn up a plethora of hits on quality control that just don’t ordinarily happen at other carmakers. The kinds of things that would never hit the sales lot.
I think you’re living in your own reality, a bit there.
That’s a nice non-answer. So, going out on a limb here…. Tesla bros, Muskie FanBois, and paid reviewers.
In short, the kinds of people who would never give an honest review anyhow. Oh and a quick search shows some possibly not-as-biased reviews at only 34% with a five star (9/ and 10/10) and 26% 4 star, (7/ and 8/10.)
There were 20% 1 star reviews, though. Generally I don’t trust reviews online.
What I do trust is a handful of 8+hour road trips I took driving them (company is perfectly happy letting me rent EV for in-region business trips;) 4 trips in a Tesla, and 2 in a Hyundai, 1 in a Nissan and the kia, and I have to say, even the freaking kia was better than the Tesla, and with comparable range.

Yeah it’s so much better to open a door in a Tesla by pressing the handle into the car! I also love opening the door from the inside using a button to open it! It’s important to redesign things that worked perfectly fine the old way for millennia just to keep people on their toes. /s

Yeah, I guess premier only in terms of inflated stock value. I was considering weighing my words more wisely but figured I couldn’t be bothered haha
