Consider buying VOLKSWAGEN group stock instead of TESLA stock... There are electric volkswagens everywhere, and their lineup of electric cars is amazing. Just saw the new ID4, its a super cool car: https://www.volkswagen.nl/modellen/id4 https://www.volkswagen.nl/modellen/id4 It looks way better in real life than on the site. With Tesla... These tesla model 3s are everywhere in the Netherlands, and they are a bit minimal in design and expensive.. A bit boring to be honest. But thats good, electrify the world!

Just don't buy an ID until VW sort out the climate control and entertainment system. Currently quite a few Norwegian ID.3 owners are reluctant to drive them for fear of suddenly losing visibility when the climate control misbehaves: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=no&tl=en&u=https://www.tek.no/nyheter/nyhet/i/aPvwPd/volkswagens-midlertidige-id-3-loesning-skru-av-a-c?utm_source%3Dvgfront%26utm_content%3Drow-9 https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=no&tl=en&u=https:/...

  It's like how people are scared to buy Teslas because the car might drive them into a truck or center divider and kill them...

    No it isn't. The ID.3 problems are real, VW are working on software updates to fix the problems and have emailed the owners to provide instructions for work arounds.

      You do know that multiple people have actually died from Teslas driving themselves into trucks and center dividers? The worst part with the most recent center-divider crash is that it was an regression following an OTA update, demonstrating that OTA can cause just as much harm as good.

        As far as I know all of the instances where Teslas drove into trucks and centre dividers were found to be at least partially due to driver behaviour (speeding, not paying attention). And also be aware that ordinary cars of all kinds do all of those things too. > most recent center-divider crash is that it was an regression following an OTA update, DO you have reference for that? I would be interested to read up on that, I have an interest as I have a Model S.
