Tesla Owners , Do you regret buying because of?

[DC_Dude]

A Rivian SUV almost ran me off the road Thursday night.


People get some new shit and think they own the road

I haven’t seen the SUV, but I did see someone driving the truck in SC a few months ago.

 

[DC_Dude]

Yeah so Tesla isn’t the EV.

I test drove a Genesis with my homie a few weeks ago and them joints nice asf.
You can’t buy them everywhere. Closes dealership in the east coast that sells them is located in NJ. Car rides smooth and has a lot of neat features.

Why do you want an EV?
Get a hybrid.

I’ve never liked hybrids. What’s the point when the battery is only good for 19 miles. I might as well get a powerful 4 cylinder car.

 

[jagu]

If you have access to home charging, driving an EV is a no brainer. I would never drive a gas car with its exhaust and noise ever again.

Plus the value of used gas cars are going to plummet as EV flood into the market.

1. Fuel savings ($20,000)



2. Low value of trade in
3. Crash Safety is higher in an EV

The resale value of a used electric car is going to be like the resale value of a boom box. Nobody will buy a car with a dying battery, knowing that they have to replace the battery for $10k.

 

[jagu]

You might as well buy a Porsche Taycan for the price is. Model S.

 

[CoTtOnMoUf]

My electric F-150 is Built and should ship to my dealer by the next week or 2. I always wanted a Tesla but I'm a truck guy and I can't sit that low to the ground. The f150 Lightning is going to fit my every need.

 

[doe moe]

I'm not going to refute data and science. What I will do is speak to my personal experience.

Like I stated earlier, there was a time when I didn't have home charging and my car was outside in the winter. I've never had an issue with driving in the winter. Even in the video, he is speaking about 20 to 14 degrees. I live in the DMV so you are talking about 3 to maybe 4 months of cold and over the years the winters aren't as cold as in the past. 14 to 20 is below freezing and is not the norm here especially during the day. someone else can correct me, but this is likely true for most of the US. Ironically, my girl still has a gas powered car and her car would not start due to the temperature outside in the last two or three weeks in the early morning. I didn't have the same issue. While it maybe true that you'll lose range due to extreme cold, gas powered cars aren't exempt from cold weather issues.

As far as cabin temperature, I normally don't use the heat or I cut it off after a few minutes. The temperature in the cabinet is typically warm/conformable on average without using the heat.

Next he talked about fully charging and using a supercharging. I lived in my house for around a year and half, so before moving here I used supercharging and I would fully charge up inorder to not return as often. On a hand full of occasions I let the battery get as low as 20 miles or less. It's been a while since I attempted to reach the max of 330, but the last time I accidentally adjusted the charge range I was still able to charge to 316. Mind you the charging range was not set to full. As I said earlier, I normally don't charge it above 290 but that is because on average a full charge is not needed and I charge at home now. I can't speak to the battery being accurate. What I do know is that Tesla may not give you full usage of the battery based on what I've read, but the claim is on a range that 330 the battery actually has more. To be fair, I could be recalling this incorrectly. It goes without saying that other conditions may reduce your actual mileage just like a gas car.

He mentioned your battery draining at higher speeds. This is true, but on average I'm going 60 to 80 on the highway. Again, even in the cold I've never had to charge up more due to my driving habits. I charge up once maybe twice a week.if you are concerned about the regen braking, you can turn it off. I've never felt the need to.

Even if battery degradation was a long-term concern, alot of people trade their cars before they are paid for or shortly after. I don't know to many people who keep cars for ten plus years or at the very least not as their main vehicle.

My recommendation for those who can afford it is to rent an EV for a few weeks instead of depending research alone. Clearly doing this will not give you a long-term idea of how EV will perform overtime however it will give you an idea of if EVs are a overall good fit for you. I'm not going to fully discredit the person in the video however based on other videos on his page he isn't a fan of EVs/Tesla and my be bias. The same can be true for content creators who favor EV especially Tesla fan boys. Normally, when I hear someone talking about why you shouldn't buy an EV they have no personal experience with them. They have not even rented one over the weekend. Some people just prefer gas cars just like people who don't respect automatic cars and only drive manual. Others are incentivized to discredit EVs. Normally the people who own EVs claim they'll never go back to gas and at best say they may not buy a Tesla again.

Appreciate your real life experience Fam!

Thank you for sharing,

My bad. 19 or 30 miles would be good for me. I don’t need to drive longer than that. I hate being in the road. Shit is wack.

That’s in England where you don’t have that far to go. My daily commute is 75 miles of highway where I need a powerful V8 or full electric car.
I have my new garage wired for EV , so I might get the Taycan as my next car.

 

[slewdem100]

Elon's political behavior does run counter (in general) to the Tesla consumer base...the bigger problem I have with dude is the racism accusations coming from Tesla factories in Cali and the less than appropriate response from the company thats seems even more nonchalant than Tesla's similarly racist corporate contemporaries

All these big corporations are racist but the Tesla stories really made me SMH

 

[papi68]

My Tesla Model S is 6.5 years old and has 160k miles. Have not changed brakes. Extremely low maintenance. Had Merc S class. BMW 7 series. 2 Porsches. A very old Tesla is still better than those cars.

 

[An RnB Thug]

Tesla leads in Battery performance and speed but has a TERRIBLE resume in build quality.
Cars built were inconsistent 10 year ago and still are now. Gaps, creaks, missing parts...etc etc
Party is over, ALL other established auto makers are in the game now and are making 10x better looking
and better BUILT cars. Plus those "carbon credits" are coming to a quick END

 

[BrownTurd]

Why do you want an EV?
Get a hybrid.

Who wants hybrid over a full EV?

I had a P75D I bought in 2014 & sold it in 18. I never had a problem with it .

The lucid smoked the Tesla

 

[HellBoy]

I was a fan for years, but since elon started showing his true MAGA thought process I started rooting against the company. The cars themselves weren't big enough for my family IMO, so I never bought one.

 

[BrownTurd]

Unless the owner is racist, we’ll let me say outwardly racist. Then I don’t care if he is a dick. Has nothing to do with me as I don’t work for him

 

[BronxBomber]

I wanted a Tesla and glad I waited, I do have a problem with his rhetoric but also felt like with all new products there would be issues and improvements. I really have to get an SUV but just seems like I may have to wait.

Thanks for the real life responses

 

[An RnB Thug]

The lucid smoked the Tesla

Right but the Lucid is not in "REAL" production yet
They only made 7,000 cars last year to Tesla's 1.7 Million cars
There's a lot of EV cars that can smoke a Tesla but they aren't in Mass Production yet
I'm talking about OVERALL. Overall they are the best preforming EV cars on the market

Lucid cars are driving around Atlanta. Tesla does not have to top performance any more. That goes to the Lucid Sapphire. When Dodge drops their EVs. They probably will be king

 

[b-stro]

What dampeners? Did you wrap your Tesla?

Model 3 & Y Road Noise Reduction Kit - Gen. 2 (10 Pieces)

Gen. 2 - 10 Piece Kit, Now Includes Seals for the Trunk & Frunk If you are tired of hearing the road noise in your Model 3 or Model Y, this will really help. This Gen. 2 - 10 piece kit is completely self installing and it actually works to make your car quieter, up to 5 dB quieter. We all know...

It’s just extra trim for the sills… only mods i did so far was yellow calipers, plan on wrapping in summer

Dogz, I don't care if the all over Atlanta. They ONLY made 7,000 cars last year
Hahaha, wtf does Atlanta have to do with anything?
and the Lucid Sapphire isn't even in PRODUCTION yet....
Again, I'm talking about MASS PRODUCTION EVs, you here talking about cars that ain't even made yet
Come on man

 

[tpotda]

Audi E-tron GT if i go EV

Sounds great in theory but the lack of infrastructure and spike in electricity bill is the part advertisers leave out

 

[yaBoi]

Before Elon went crazy Teslas quality started going down. I am looking into buying an electric car in a few years and its not going to be a Tesla.

This

 

[ghoststrike]

Spike in electricity? That’s an argument?

It is when the power grid / lines within a residential area can't take the load of multiple EVs, causing more blackouts.

 

[ghoststrike]

Instead of utilities investing in itself they choose to trot out half-brained arguments.

The power infrastructure isn't there yet. A lot of residential and commercial areas in the US are still using power lines from the middle of last century and before.

We taking about speed and you talking about who has a larger market share. As of now, the Lucis Sapphire is the king

 

[TENT]

The Audis are the coolest looking.

Is there something wrong with you?
The car IS NOT EVEN IN PRODUCTION YET.
