Has there ever been another product that has elicited so much glee from its faults and failures than electric vehicles?

- xnx 2y agoMy hunch is it's ~20% schadenfreude for EVs and ~80% schadenfreude for Tesla. Teslas seem like fine, but not exceptional, vehicles. I take some enjoyment at their stumbles because I don't care for their approach and claims around self driving, and don't think Tesla should be valued at many multiples of very similar competitors.
- aeurielesn 2y agoMaybe it's just me but I don't think people are so eager to trust SV vehicles anymore.
