This has to be bait. You're literally trying to say "don't trust your lying eyes" Someone has an issue: hey this sucks You: "ackchulay it's you who is wrong and here is a wall of text as to why it's not an issue. If it is an issue it's getting better so don't criticize! Sure hope Tesla is...

Man what a fanboy. How many cars does Honda sell? It's a lot compared to Tesla. The deaths are injuries are tragic but it's far less common in the rest of the industry. You wanna harp on Honda sure and we will see what happens. Perhaps certain models did have badly tuned emergency brake like...

The amount of phantom braking is nowhere near how frequently it happens in Teslas. The gm one was what 62k cars? Meanwhile it's nearly the Tesla lineup that has issues with phantom braking due to using vision only. Nissan was the largest culprit iirc and perhaps Honda is having issues but it's...

I think as a whole it's much better with normal carmakers. While I know Nissan historically has phantom braking issues, we have a '23 leaf and it has never given me problems while my model s has done it quite often. (Leaf also handles rain and fog much better, I assume this is due to the S not...

I only have basic autopilot and the single pull adaptive cruise control and double pull adding lane tracing is quite useful. Tesla's lane tracing forces you to only go up to +5 over speed limit on most roads that aren't interstates (the logic of which is also wildly inconsistent. I have regular...

Their prices aren't competitive lol. Dealers always charge a premium.

Thanks! This was good advice. I chatted with a few different Walmart auto techs. Funnily enough the location where there was one guy who I thought was pretty good said their lifts don't support Teslas. The others sorta thought they could do it which didn't give me too much confidence. Shame...

I have a '17 model s AWD, one rear tire needs to be replaced. Curious if anyone has gotten their model s tires changed at Walmart. How is the service at their auto centers? They got a good selection and install costs plus hazard warranty is $18 with Walmart+ which is the best price by far...

Hmm... this is what I am skeptical of. You say you aren't blind yet in an instance where I would argue it is reasonable to be hyperbolic, you instead try to cast blame on the poster. Any company, Tesla or not, does not need user crusaders. Thats why they have a PR department. I see it with many...

Maybe I'm just not "in" with the EVs but I don't think this is quite right. "At your own risk" implies somehow your at fault for Tesla not having their "recommended" options. I would hope that Tesla did not blame you (seems like the tow company's fault). Hmm this opens up an interesting issue...

lol so you would insist on a "certified" tesla tow but really no way to verify? :L Does a Tesla require any special tow? I've been rear ended twice at stop lights so I would be concern if there is a special towing procedure needed for Teslas.

Hmm I suppose. OP sounded freaked out and probably hyperbolic, but no more so than anyone who had a roadside issue where pulling over seemed unsafe. I'm a little taken back by how much pushback actual consumers give their fellow buyers have when anything goes wrong with a Tesla... So much more...

Hmm, can someone help me understand why a bunch of folks on this thread is bashing or casting suspicion on the OP? If that happened to me, regardless of which car I buy, I wouldn't be too happy either.

Hi OP, How bad was the early morning traffic? If it was heavy, that might explain it. If 33B is bogged down, it would be faster to take 33A and take the 85 north on-ramp and merge at the end of the 33B ramp. Google maps has suggested this to me many times while in ATL rush hour. For those that...

Hmm no edit button? Looks like I should look into getting an electric car in the future. I wonder if the used leaf market will get even lower, hmmm... Shame only the newest ones have adaptive cruise control lol. Would be perfect for lazy commuting.
