At least you have the R2 now!

  With screen operated motorized vents. Eww.

    Same as the Polestar. Honestly, I think that ship has sailed, most users don't want the vents visible at all anymore, and that means no little tabs. I agree it's a bummer, but it's like 400th on my ranked priority list of things to care about when buying a car.

  I would have bought the Tesla a few years ago but will never willingly put $ in the pocket of someone like Elon

    There's an interesting mental exercise there. When someone is that rich, does the few hundred dollars from a car sale matter? Honestly, until Rivian, all the other EVs were so bad that it didn't make sense to get the pyrrhic victory.

      > When someone is that rich, does the few hundred dollars from a car sale matter? You're right, it doesn't make any difference to Elon. I'm not doing it to hurt Elon, I'm doing it for me, because I don't want to be putting my hard-earned money towards his enterprises. It's the same reason why people will stop buying products from companies who use sweatshops with child labor, etc. > Honestly, until Rivian, all the other EVs were so bad that it didn't make sense to get the pyrrhic victory. Absolutely. And I was huge fan of Tesla in the beginning, put a deposit on the 3 model when first came out years ago, before Elon went off the rails. Thankfully now there are more options.

        Sure, if I hadn't needed a car in 2022, maybe not. But I think burning fossil fuels is way worse than the marginal benefit to Elon Musk...

          agreed, I would still get a Tesla over an ICE car if there weren't any other good EV options
