Thanks for all the downvotes; I seem to have hit a raw nerve here. Opinions and value systems obviously differ. I've been a professional driver on and off for years and years, and I honestly couldn't care less about the finish of the dashboard, as long as it performs whatever it's supposed to perform. My personal only reason, apart from the money, which I haven't got, for not wanting a Tesla (or any other modern high-end car, really) would be all the idiotic phoning home stuff. The electric versus dead dinasaur question is settled beyond dispute. Combustion is twentieth century, period.

What you're saying is you would take any electric car, no matter how poorly built, no matter how expensive, over a cheaper, higher quality gasoline-powered car. And not only that, but you'd take that expensive and poorly-built electric car over cheaper electric cars with similar build quality just because of a brand name. Yes. Yes that is a controversial opinion, especially when combined with the phrasing you continue to choose. And the fact that you're this hostile but then admit you don't own one and can't afford to own one, yet you look down your nose at anyone who doesn't own one.

  No idea whose nose I'm supposed to be looking down. I simple consider combustion engines outdated technology. I'm leaving it behind whenever electric begins to match my finansial range. As for the supposed hostility, I'll let other judge between you and me.
