On the face of it that is a well reasoned post but of course it is pure speculation. There isn’t a person on this planet who can predict what Tesla sales will be like in the next couple of years. If I were to predict a decline in sales or at least stalled growth then my prediction would be...

I would certainly care. I’ve got better things to do with my time than sit in a car watching netflix. If I was behind a slow moving vehicle I would want to get past it at the first opportunity.

Words like “innovation” and “cutting edge” not only suggest the use of the latest technology, but also technology that works and improves the driver experience. We know that some of Tesla’s innovations are complete fails. The wipers on my M3 are by far the worst I’ve had in any car for the past...

Oh no, another suggestion that the latest update has fixed the wipers. Happens after every minor update. It won’t have fixed anything. My wipers are usually fine in pouring rain. It’s with light drizzle, motorway surface spray and low sun on a dry windscreen that they are absolutely crap.

I don’t think he’s trying to prove anything. He’s not disparaging the matrix lights, just pointing out that that video is decidedly underwhelming. Which it is 🤷‍♂️

A friend of mine lives in Danby in North Yorkshire. He can’t charge at home and the nearest public charger is miles away. For him charging would be massively inconvenient and probably more expensive than filling up with petrol. An EV is just not an option for him, and it’s the same for literally...

Yes, but the EVs they’re getting rid of are being replaced by ICE, not another EV. They are reducing their EV fleet. Hertz had originally committed to 25% of their fleet to be electric by the end of 2024. They have abandoned that target because petrol cars are far more profitable. There’s no...

It would be interesting to know what the cost saving is if that’s Tesla’s justification for doing it. Clearly it’s not £hundreds per car and I suspect it’s absolutely minimal.

I’d love to have a HUD. You get the best of both worlds, keeping the simplicity of the cabin and having relevant information displayed, so to speak, on the road in front of you. But apparently Musk doesn’t like them so we can’t have them.

I tried that first time round. Audi were prepared to give me an 18% discount but not the 24% offered by the broker. I haven’t tried since and buying online is easier and more convenient anyway.

Exactly this. Do people still buy from dealerships in this day and age? More fool them. I’ve bought my last three cars through a broker and it’s a wonderfully painless experience. And I achieved at least a 20% discount on each one. But discounts aren’t good because Tesla don’t offer them 😂

And who is paying for that greater revenue and profit? Mugs like you and me.

Buggy software is a lot easier to upgrade than crap hardware so if the hardware is good it’s got a solid foundation. Beta software shouldn’t be an issue for ex Tesla drivers as most Tesla software is in seemingly permanent beta. And Tesla software is itself hardly immune from bugs.

I have no intention of paying for my “mistake”. It wasn’t a mistake that Tesla deliberately and dishonestly made a misleading claim about autosteer on city streets back in 2019. I will be following the excellent example of @edb49 and I am supremely confident of achieving the same result. Or of...

Full disclosure, I voted yes because Tesla were downright dishonest in their description of FSD and should be held to account. I’ll be fighting for a refund. Are you saying everyone who buys FSD is a fool? In defence of those who did back in 2019, including me, not so many people in the Uk at...
