    Teslas are boring. There are only 4 of them and they all look the same. (And the cybertruck is an abomination, sorry if you’re going to buy one; good luck surviving all the steel balls people will be throwing at you)

      Nobody is going to buy a cyber truck because they will never be mass produced

      What a stupid take, but par for the r/technology course.

      EDIT: The steel ball thing was terrible optics, granted, but that was also, like, the 5th time that ball was thrown at the window. Bullet-proof glass still spiderwebs when hit. Get over it.

        No, they dropped steel balls onto separate glass pulled to the side, which didn’t break, then they decided to hurl steel balls at the prototype they had on stage. It broke the glass, twice. It’s on video, y’know?

        but par doe the r/technology course.

        Do you even know where you are?

      Don’t worry Tesla owners, this guy’s better than you and all along knew that he should be buying hummers.

      This smugness from basement dwellers is flat out embarassing.

          Don’t own a Tesla, probably never will, just recognize the cringey basement dweller behaviour of everyone in here gleefully pretending like Tesla’s are any different just cause they don’t like the owner now. It’s a bunch of hater energy losers dunking on an easy target that’s uncool now. Congrats guys, you did it, you felt superior to others today.

            You’re 100% right but don’t expect r/technology to accept it.

        Swing and a miss, sparky. I’ve been driving electric for the last 7 years but have no interest in Tesla for a wide variety of reasons.

        Also I literally told you why I don’t like them — there are only 4 of them and they all look the same; do you think maybe the fact that they’ve become so ubiquitous over the last few years and so samey could contribute to changed perceptions of them? What’s new in 2017 is old in 2023.

        Just try and be a better person/contributor around here. Smarten up.

          Oh noooooo. Thanks for that single issue that’s entirely subjective.

          Meanwhile; they provide the best performance for the price, putting exotics 0-60 to shame. Have the best charging infrastructure. Get great range despite the recent hit pieces. And, for some subjective IMO goodness, are super fucking cool. I love the infotainmentcontrolwhatever way they handle things.

          But no, they’re just copy/paste pieces of shit. All hail anybody but Elon!

            They’re fine cars, they need a refresh is all. You’re reading way too much into this. They’re not copy-paste, they’re ubiquitous and as exciting as a Honda Civic in terms of looks, to me at least. 0-60 time is fun, but so are physical buttons.

            All hail anybody but Elon!

            You know he’s never going to marry you though, right?

                The only person bringing up Elon Musk is you. The only person offended (apparently) on behalf of Elon Musk is you. Sort yourself out.

                  I couldn’t give a fuck about Musk. He could die tomorrow and I’d say “Good for him.” What I think is hilarious is the assumption by you and others in these comments that my drive to correct them stems from some love of the ugy.

                  Sort yourself out.

                    Says the guy who a.) brings him up in a discussion that wasn’t about him and b.) doesn’t know where he is. Sure.
