Look, Elon single handedly builds rockets to Mars. He built your Tesla and it’s basically a spaceship with wheels. What could possibly be more luxurious?

The lawsuit you’re referring to is about a poor old woman who got second degree burns, took McD to court and won, all while being slandered by the media for being some litigation happy grifter. Just saying.

I mean, there’s probably very limited value in having a streaming service for the front display in a car anyway. The only time you’d use it is when you’ve got half an hour to kill while you’re charging on the go.

That’s motivated thinking, not cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the uneasy feeling when trying to balance opposing thoughts. If someone’s blindly following BS, what they are distinctly lacking, is cognitive dissonance.

But I wanted to die to Moana :(

They’re more likely to run over a pedestrian then get themselves hurt.

It’s not about watching video, it’s about having to navigate a touchpad menu while driving. I was in a car share the other day that had a screen like that, and while driving on the highway, it changed itself from the navigation screen to tire pressure information, forcing the driver to exit that inane notification and navigate all the way back to the navigation screen, again, on the highway. It’s absolutely insane.

The whole “Elon swings hard right while trying to sell electric cars” is crazy. It would be like me selling “roll coal” kits and deciding that my market had to be Progressives because I was going to insult everyone on the right.

You’d be surprised actually now that Musk has become what they think of as a counter-culture icon. Some Trump voters out there trading in their 4WD pickups for Cybertrucks.

And elon’s current mood.

I think they’re looking for more a consumer perspective. Disney will probably sue for a breach of contract, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow ended up signing a TOS that allows Tesla to make changes whenever they want. From a consumer perspective, definitely legal to just remove an app. False advertising? Nah, when you buy the car/use the infotainment center, you’re agreeing to a TOS that requires you give your first born to the gigafactory they built.

Seriously though, it’s very standard practice that a TOS includes language that the service can change in quality at any given time with no warning.

You can’t watch it while driving. It’s for watching while charging or camping or whatever

Cosmetic build quality is at the bottom of my list of concerns when buying an EV (which has very limited selection still, and consists of 90% inefficient crossovers).

The Model 3 is one of the most efficient vehicles ever made, which is precisely why it can be so inexpensive.

It also has excellent driving dynamics and some super obvious features other OEMs lack like a decent app where you can control almost everything from your phone, a built in omnidirectional dashcam, the ability to run the HVAC while parked or adjust the charging speed. The seats are also incredibly comfortable.

And, most importantly, access to Tesla’s supercharger network, which is thankfully in the process of opening to other vehicles.
