  1. Maybe this is why Musk is so fixated on everyone having more children, gonna need a lot of replacements.
  2. I did price and drive a Prius Prime, but it's tiny inside and has the lowest roofline of any car I drove. Also has a weird gauge panel that's blocked by the steering wheel. Cost was about $48k + ticket to Colorado and driving back bc there's no stock in TX.
  3. No credits but they did offer $2500 more for trade-in than any other dealer, so about $50k out the door.
  4. Finally tested FSD and holy shit I hate it. Having to pay attention and keep hands on the wheel is far more stressful than just driving yourself. FSD is useless unless the driver can fuck off while it's engaged.
  5. Super excited to get my new Tesla. Looks like I'm in for a reliable and consistent experience.
  6. So I spent over an hour with a Mach-E GT Performance today and it's a really solid car. Handling is bit better than the MY, but you lose the ground clearance and it still drives like an SUV/Crossover. After $10k of discounts, OTD price was $70K. So ~$17K more than an M3 LR with the $2K performance update (which beats the Mach-E 0-60 time). And the M3 has 70-80 miles more range. In summary, fuck no, I'm not spending $17K more for less performance and (mostly) less features. Unlike some of you neckbeard fucks, I'm out in the streets actually looking for a car that meets my needs, that's all that matters to me. It's really easy to spend someone else's money, so you can eat all the dicks in the world and I'll buy the car that I want.
  7. Ummm yea..... of course it was. Point is not everyone who buys a Tesla is a Maga idiot. The lack of QC/radar and other proper shit, is now priced into the Model 3 and Y and it's tough to beat them on price.
  8. Alright you cunts, I'm going to test drive the Mach-E GT since I haven't done it yet. It better not handle like all the other crossovers I've driven over the last 2 months (like a fucking boat). Well except for the Macan, but that's more than I'd like to spend. Basically, my fav car to drive by a mile was the highland Hodel 3 LR with the performance upgrade. The lack of radar on the M3 does piss me off tho, just stupid. I should add that this isn't my only car would just be my daily driver around town. So reliability is nice, but as long as there's a good warranty, I don't really care.
  9. I have no idea why you guys are so tough on Elon, he's just asking questions trying to get to the truth.
  10. Yea, keep fucking that old chicken. The M3 "Highland" has a solid to good interior. These guys are anything but Tesla fanbois. There's plenty of shit to hate about Teslas, but they a least improved on the interiors.
  11. Forgot to add there's a whole industry of 3rd party accessories for Teslas. You can modify/customize almost anything, no other EV comes close.
  12. Polestar 2 - Small company, slower than the M3, doesn't have Sentry or dog mode. I also think they're ugly. Here's a few more things about it that suck: "Visibility is terrible. The view from the rearview mirror is awful and you can only see a small sliver of back glass. The front view is about like a normal sedan and not nearly as open as the M3. The interface is no intuitive and hard to find basic settings. Cruise control only works in increments of 5mph and temperature can only be set to even numbers. There is a large hump in the rear middle seating area that makes is uncomfortable for anyone riding in that position. The center console area is bulky and not well thought out. Acceleration feels sluggish compared to the M3. The quality of the interior seems cheap (cloth seats and easily scratched up plastic). Quality/Resolution of the cameras is not great (definitely not high definition). There is a 360 degree view, but it looks like crap." VW ID4 - Small, ugly and slow as shit. Looks and drives like a minivan. Hyundai Ioniq 5/6 - Ewww, it's still a Hyundai. Styling is also odd compared to the M3. Mustang Mach-E - Ugly hatchback that's costs more than M3 to get the performance, where do I sign? Mercedes, Audi, BMW and Volvo aren’t far off in their pricing - They are 10-15k more for the performance models. I haven't bothered checking, but it's likely most if not all of the above don't save all your settings for the entire car in an app so you can have it setup exactly the same in any car. Their cars might suck, but the Tesla app is unquestionably the best car app. Same with the dog, remote camera, and dashcam recording modes. I'm sure a few of them have something similar, but not quite the same level. Also, heated and ventilated front seats with a touchscreen for the rear passengers.
  13. EVs are way more fun to drive. Electric motors and no tranny just hits different.
  14. I hate Elmo as much as any other libtard but business is business. There’s no comparable EV in the MY or M3 price range, period. And startups that sell 10k cars a year and shit don’t count. Also, they’re giving me ~$5k more for my trade in than anyone else. I’ve only owned Toyotas for the last 20 years or so. My expectations are pretty low, I’m ready to refuse delivery if there’s any noticeable issues. As for other potential issues, Austin has like 85 Tesla locations, so it’s not like I’ll need to go 2 hours if/when it needs warranty service. I also really like stuff like the button turn signals, overall performance, dog and sentry mode, and the sound system of the long range is by far the best on the market <$50k. Tho, I hate the lack of a drive mode shifter.
