I don't ding other peoples' doors. I'm careful and considerate.
That said, I also don't throw a hissy fit and demand the first born son of someone who dings mine.
Nor do I expect five star fine dining from a fast casual restaurant and then complain loudly when I don't get it.
I find life to be much more enjoyable when your expectations are realistic. I guess one person's "weak and submissive" is another's "not being a privileged whiny prick".
I think we all have our own "limits" and perceptions.
And it's challenging to communicate that through a forum..
For myself, I WRONGLY expected Tesla's quality and service to be on par w/ the best of the best car companies... I WAS WRONG.
Maybe it was all the great reviews, media write ups, amazing Tesla owner feedbacks I heard about...
(Talk about Smoke and Mirrors)
Thus I try to remind everyone to keep their expectations LOW w/ Tesla (This is the truth - not smoke)
Believe me, I'm not driving myself crazy over these vehicle issues, but it is a NUISANCE.. and another level of petty STRESS I don't welcome in an already busy life...
I appreciate being able to vent through TMC, so I don't have to yell at the local Tesla Service Reps, who are frankly pretty clueless themselves.
But I will continue to hold Tesla's feet to the fire.. until they say, "sorry, we refuse to rise to those high standards"...
At that point, I guess I have to suck it up and accept their "limits". And then decide to buy another car in the future...
