Curious why the American car hate. I drove a Honda for more than a decade and thought I'd be a Honda driver for life, until I got a Tesla. I love it. From now on I'll be getting Teslas or Rivians or whatever else premium EVs happen to be the best, regardless of whether they're American, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, German, etc.
- bluedino 3y agoAmerican car means the 'big three' automakers. GMC/Chevrolet/Buick, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM, or Ford/Lincoln
- dclowd9901 3y agoBig three makers have very poor average quality, often ending up at the bottom of reliability lists. Tesla, from my expertise as a car builder, is just very sloppy. Poor panel fitment, door alignment, chintzy cheap materials for the price, and ultimately the smoke and mirror show that is FSD. Even if you manage to find one without all these issues, you still have a power source that essentially expires after 10 years and costs as much as a car to replace.
- qwerpy 3y agoYeah it's really just the "EV" part that I like about the Tesla. Not ever having to pay for gas at a gas station and the fast acceleration. If just Toyota or Honda would release a long range mid/large electric SUV or van, not make me deal with dealership salespeople to get one, and make them easy to get, I'd get one of those next.
