Most hilarious thing that this great thread won’t affect Tesla sales at all. Go pat Yourself on the backs. We drive future while shills try to stop the progress.
I mean thats cool I guess? But, after you're done being all pompous and superior consider this:
Almost everyone here already drives a Tesla vehicle of some kind. We are pointing out a REAL problem that exists and causes REAL day to day issues with our satisfaction with the product. Whatever 'shill' you are talking about is really outside the vacuum of this particular forum. I posted because I wanted to bring real world, non-bullshit non-biased information to the conversation. I am not blindly loyal to any product, but I bought a Tesla because I feel like in terms of overall qualities it is currently the best product on the market in the EV space at any price. It has the best range, good technology, hands down the best charging network and a lot of other good things in its favor including a brilliant chief executive and great engineering team. But, we have to get this particular issue fixed. It's not a small problem and people are realizing it.
There will be a time, whether you like it or not, that people will have to vote with their feet. Once Tesla starts selling as many cars as, say, Hyundai every year, these kinds of discussions are not only pertinent but necessary. For reference, Hyundai sold 3.74 million cars in FY2020 and Tesla sold about 500,000. Now, Tesla is ramping fast and this will likely be much higher every year going forward, but I think you see my point. NO ONE is going to go buy, for example, an IONIQ5 with a cruise control thats not selectable to a normal, garden variety "non-nanny" cruise control, no way. You are talking about a transition from early adopter to mainstream and while that may be ok right now on a percentage of Tesla cars, its not going to cut it long term and everyone here including yourself knows it.
So, likewise go "pat yourself on the back" and enjoy your moment. We all enjoyed it.
Cheers
