Kia Trolls Tesla with Anti-Elon Ads
- dzhiurgis 2y agoThey trolled themselves by admitting they sell inferior cars that people only buy because politics
- gibbitz 2y agoI own a Tesla and after buying it I was shopping for a car for my daughter and tried an EV6 while at the dealership. Compared to the EV6 the Tesla is a go-cart. The 2021 Tesla rumbles, has terrible shocks, needs new extremely expensive tires every year, the door handles freeze and feel like they're going to come off in my hands, there's no heat pointed at your feet, the lining of the trunk is peeling off. Meanwhile the EV6 feels like a real car and it was ~5k less. After driving that car I know this is the last Tesla I'll own Musk or no Musk.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoAt least half things you said is a lie.
- whoknowsidont 2y agoMan, are you ok? You're doing nothing but having a meltdown over Tesla's reputation. Do you own the company?
- dzhiurgis 2y agoI think parent had a meltdown over Kia. Pointing out lies isn’t a meltdown you think you are.
- maximinus_thrax 2y ago> Man, are you ok? Some people are objectively not ok when it comes to cults. There is no rational way of deprogramming them, they will paradoxically go deeper and deeper in the face of facts and logical arguments. You really can't debate religion.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoAnd when facts run dry - personal attacks start.
- maximinus_thrax 2y agoI apologize if this came as a personal attack, I would never insult or judge someone based on faith. I'm looking at some of your comment history and it seems you keep Elon Musk in high regard and would jump at the change to defend him and his businesses even when faced with objective facts. I do the same IRL with Jesus. You do you, no judging.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoSo once again, facts are easy to provide or refute. You can keep your emotions to yourself.
- darthrupert 2y ago>needs new extremely expensive tires every year Huh?
- LightBug1 2y agoRubbish, Hyundai and Kia and far ahead of Tesla in terms of overall package. If all you value is 0-60, then that's on you. But sit in both cars and the quality speaks volumes. You can tell where Tesla keep cutting costs, whereas Hyundai (yes Hyundai!) make quality.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoThey still sell cars without heatpump or hepa filters. They are nowhere near, especially for the cost.
- LightBug1 2y agoThey do have heatpumps now, and can upgrade standard filter to Hepa if you want. So ... your points aren't that much of a biggy. For me, it's about quality. If you sit in a ioniq 5 or EV6 and then sit in a model 3 and tell me they're of a similar quality ... I don't know what to tell you. Emphasis on 'overall package'.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoNow compare how much that same trim costs...
- LightBug1 2y agoRegardless. Your points are only mildly important to me. You seem to be basing your entire decision/argument on them. I repeat my proposition. Go sit in them. The end. Sounds like you're not up for a change of mind and I'm not in the business of changing minds, but I will call shit out.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoI did sit in one about 4 years ago when they came out. So did in Ioniq5. Drove Kona extensively. I choose Tesla 2 years after making comprehensive spreadsheet of all features. Kia/Hyundai weren't even close. I didn't do comprehensive drive tho, but lack of autopilot easily beats any feature Kia/Hyundai can provide.

- discordance 2y ago“ Tesla sales were down 24% in the Netherlands, 42% in Sweden, 48% in both Norway and Denmark, 45% in France, 55% in Italy, 10% in Spain and 53% in Portugal, official data showed this week. investors are still debating whether the EV maker remains overpriced. Outside Europe, Australia reported a 66% drop in Tesla registrations in the month, while the brand's worldwide sales of cars produced in China were down 49% due to intense pressure from Chinese rivals.” [0] How bad must it get before the board shows Musk the door? 0: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/uk-new-car-sales-drop-1-february-industry-data-shows-2025-03-05/ https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/uk-new...

- quantified 2y agoElon should say "good show!" as it's up to his level of light-hearted fun troll.
- LightBug1 2y agoThe thin-skinned fool is likely crying to his orange puppet about imposing tariffs on Korean cars.
