I’d love to drive it. Can’t imagine owning one.
I like the cars, as much as any other modern vehicle.
I just absolutely hate having to deal with computers. I am currently trying VERY hard to find even a new motorcycle that doesn’t have a touch screen and/or funky transmissions with different “modes” for driving. Like “race” mode. “Rain” mode…
It’s ridiculous.
If it works consistently, I don’t need “modes.”
Such things are just marketing ploys, and have no purpose for someone who understands how to drive…
I understand the attraction to such a thing. I’m sure it’s great, when functional.
I realize that everything breaks, electric or not.
However. When something electronic breaks, it has to be replaced. NOTHING will replace a manual transmission, simple controls and gauges, and manual locks and windows for consistency.
Altogether, I really like what Musk is doing for technology/humanity. His personal opinions about current affairs will be irrelevant when Teslas are $20,000. Oh, and you’ll probably have to get comfy with Starlink, Optimus, and systematic changes to infrastructure and every type of travel. The Neurolink is currently torturing other primates, but will likely be as necessary an item as a smartphone in the near future…
If someone gave me a Tesla car, or CT, I’d quickly sell it for something a fraction of the price that I’d undoubtedly prefer.
