      I have a Tesla. It’s great. I’ve received dozens of new features OTA. There are no subscriptions (except a very reasonable $10 for additional cellular connectivity, that I do not pay for). It’s the best car I’ve ever owned.

      Also Fuck Elon 👍

        I own a Tesla, I can’t imagine buying any other make now. The full experience is incredible. Every time I hear what’s going on with the new cars, especially EV, my answer to all the issues is always the same: get a Tesla instead.

        Also: Musk is a shitshow on legs

          Yeah, I mean there are totally legitimate reasons to not like them and not buy one but they’re very hard to beat on fun, reliability, practicality and cost-effectiveness.

      I can’t imagine it’s a Tesla or it wouldn’t say anything about keeping the engine running.

      Either way, fuck all this bullshit. Every day I grow less and less likely to part with my old beast BUT the near doubled and still rising price of fuel will probably force my hand eventually.

      I just went on a touring holiday and fuel was easily the largest component of my budget.

          I suppose it could be like antique cars in my home state where just about everyone has a antique car and is still a status symbol but at least with a car that you have to constantly work on it yourself it’s kinda a hey look at what I’ve made sort of status symbol maybe Norwegians are hot rodding Teslas?

      Because they’re phenomenal vehicles? And if you live in the US they have the only charging network you can actually rely on.

      I’m driving 600 miles today in mine. No problem.
