minus-squareYer Ma@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33arrow-down2·8 months agoI know an ex-tesla engineer, they said to never buy one, and they bought a BMW themselves
minus-squareSmokumJoe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoI wouldn’t buy a BMW either.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoDo you have to take lessons on how to park like an asshole before you’re allowed to drive one?
minus-squareYer Ma@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoYeah that’s fair, but I guess their willingness to go with a finiky German car over a Tesla was an interesting indicator of just how much they didn’t think of the Tesla

minus-squaretills13@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down38·8 months agoEh. The car is actually really really good. Probably the most solid (all around) EV out there. The problem is Elon. Surround yourself with good people and this is what happens.
minus-squareWindex007@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38arrow-down2·8 months agoI would pay to watch you have this conversation with the Tesla Engineer in question.
minus-squarenavilinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·8 months agoFWIW “seeing how the sausage is made” is a pretty common sentiment in most industries.
minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoYeah engineers rarely support our companies. We see every decision to trade quality for cost
minus-squaretills13@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down13·8 months agoI’m sorry, I’m not an apologist. I have owned two Teslas in the last 5 years and they have been nothing but amazing. No issues. Not flawless, but certainly as compared to other EVs a cut above. That said, likely my next car will be a Rivian if they survive.
