I think you're missing the point... It's people who have not even used the product that I'm talking about here. Akin to those who claimed that the iPhone is stupid because it lacked a QWERTY keyboard. History have proven all

Your first link was for a NEMA 14-50 adapter and Wall charger order on the Tesla online shop and is not a car part? Which supports what I said regarding lackluster customer service. I'm not disputing that. The last 4 examples are ALL c

I challenge you to go to the teslamotorsclub.com forums or Reddit and poll ACTUAL users. You will quickly find that this is NOT the majority. I frequent those forums and most users are very satisfied with their cars.

That's a bit of a shortsighted comment, since it only works while the car is parked... It's supposed to entertain while charging. Same with the games.

So much ignorance in this post. You do realize Tesla engineers and designers all came fro other car manufacturers right? Even down do the audio folks who came from Bang & Olufsen.

I'm aware of this as I have owned cars with this feature. Modern cars do not use the physical key to "start". It's mostly only to open the driver side door. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BttKQ6K-Y7

So what you're saying is that keyless start mechanisms (also wireless btw) in modern cars today are also poor design? Even if the keyfobs on the S/X run out of battery, they can still be used to unlock and start the car. Just like

I've have seen two articles like these within the last hour. They are straight up clickbait. You do NOT need the app to unlock or operate these cars. The Model S/X have regular keyfobs and the 3 has a keycard.

Yeah.. I've been hearing this since the Tesla Roasters came out in 2008. Yet, nothing in the market has yet to compete with the 2012 Model S when it comes to range/performance.

>> EVs lose out here because of battery degradation. You can quite happily buy a 10 year old ICE car and get good reliability at a good price. Trying to do the same with an EV just gets you a car with a worn out battery and low range.
