On Tuesday, Elon Musk sold ~$1 billion in Tesla stock. On Thursday, they announced recalls for ~500,000 Tesla cars

I'm trying to think of a production vehicle that is more reliable, safer, or higher performance but none come to mind. 

 

 

 you’re posting this in a thread about recalls and how the hoods can unlatch on the highway. lol. 

 

don’t forget the huge * for that performance. we all know you’re sold on them but your bias is showing. 

 

also, your favorite cars look like knock off beamer plastic pieces of shit. 

 

[Mercer]

Wondering what the asterisk is about?

[Dirty_habiT]

I'm curious about every facet of the "high performance" claim. 
 

Which firmware version are they up to now on those things?

Tesla guys just love posting clips of their plastic sled inching out a win in the 1/4 mile against the real beasts.

 

Lets see how well it would do against those cars in something like the 24 hour Le Mans

With that logic we should see Tom Brady take on Lebron James in basketball

I get what you’re saying but na. Same sport, different divisions 

[Mercer]

Guess I’m generally indifferent, and not emotionally invested enough to care what other people are driving. Regardless if there a good fit for what very type of race, they’re pretty cool cars for more realistic driving situations IMO.

I can’t argue with that. People can like what they like

saw a plaid crush its division on a hill climb this summer, how can you compare it to open wheel or something with a 8l w12 like the continental 

[Mercer]

Honestly, I don't get people that would pay to race their factory car like that unless it's a real exotic. Like yea, you paid for a cool car I guess, but it's kind of a low level non-flex to be at a track without an actual build, unless you're there to get drunk and huff methanol fumes. Might as well go home and cheer for a random electronics tech to raw dog your wife while you're at it. It's like yea dude, you got a good run in, or your wife came too, but it's all thanks to a random 3 inch dick electronics nerd.

I only race my shit boxes on the Mexican highway.  Teslas don't do so hot from a roll against high hp man cars.

I expect Tesla owners to get out with a messenger bag. 

[mr.yuck]

I like the aesthetics of Tesla’s. I’m not 100% on electric vehicles or my next purchase would be the Ford pickup joint. 
 

Im pretty sure if Tesla dropped a turbo diesel that shit would get @Dirty_habiTprecum flowing with all kinds of Elon’s a genius posts

[Dirty_habiT]

Turbo anything.

There's a guy driving one around in my area with after market wheels and the stance has been lowered which looks really really good as it flows with the car I actually like it alot.  

 

When I see him out and about, I'll try to snap a pic.

dude thank you for posting this. This guy is legit and definitely highlighting the trash tech the company is using on everyone. 
 

it's ok to have bugs but they should never make it into production. 

[metronome]

 

[Dirty_habiT]

Lol. Hot trash. This is only displaying some of the most obvious flaws it has. 
 

I read a lot of that software engineers comments earlier today and a lot of what he said was pretty scary.  

[metronome]

Thing is the Musk/Tesla fan bois are more than happy to do all the real time beta testing for him, out on the streets.  The guy "driving" that car audibly becoming annoyed with pedestrians for being pedestrians and fucking up the car's AI piloting is gold.

This for ACAB or Tesla sucks balls thread?

 

Not sure, por que no los dos?

 

 

[Dirty_habiT]

I have two friends that bought real man cars recently.

 

One got a 2001 C5 vette in perfect shape for super cheap and only 14k miles.

The other got a 2019 Porsche Cayman GTS 4cyl turbo.

 

Both of which will shit all over Teslas "build quality."
