Sometimes I think that owning a Tesla would be neat, but I always manage to kill that voice in my head by looking up the prices. Works every time.
- sn_master 6y agoIt's the interior that does it for me. Model 3 is the one I find the least appealing. I doubt as many buyers would have accepted that if it was from another manufacturer at the same price point.
- Hamuko 6y agoOh yeah, not a fan of the ultra-minimalistic Model 3 interior. And if I understood it right, they didn't even bother to put windshield wiper controls on a physical button or stalk, which boggles my mind.
- marvin 6y agoYou can activate the wipers for one-time spraying and wiping from the stalk, and you can select wiper speed by voice command. If none of those options are suitable, it's the touchscreen.
- sn_master 6y agoOne-time spraying isn't convenient when it starts raining. Voice commands are useless to people like me with a heavy accent. Touch screen while driving is not a safe distraction.
- Corrado 6y agoThe wipers automatically activate when its raining. I've only had to manually activate the wipers a handful of times.
- perl4ever 6y agoMaybe it works better on Teslas, but my experience with other cars is that auto wipers are a gimmick that I would pay not to have. I can't say if it's more because of the sensor, or the programming.
- WA 6y agoLooking at broken suspensions helps, too: https://insideevs.com/news/447593/tesla-suspension-issues-owners-true-stories/ https://insideevs.com/news/447593/tesla-suspension-issues-ow...
- ryandrake 6y agoWhat kills it for me is that buying a Tesla means tethering yourself to the company for everything. Parts, service, functionality, analytics and telemetry. I don’t want to have a relationship with the manufacturer of the goods I buy—I just want to buy the thing and have the ability to use and fix it without them always up my ass.
