    Tesla never made some of the best cars you could buy.

    They made an admittedly solid EV, with a cool shell (Model S), but they have kept making idiotic and dangerous choices:

    • Electric door handles
    • Tablet only dashboard
    • Touchscreen gear selector
    • Emergency door pulls require ripping off interior panels.

    And more as described in this thread.

    Tesla started the modern EV craze, I’ll hand them that, but stupid and arrogant choices by management ruined the reputation.

    I have never ridden in a Tesla, and with how dangerous they are, I plan to never do it to the point where if I need a taxi, I will ask for it not to be a Tesla when ordering it.

      The ones I’ve been in are worse than literally entry level Toyota or Ford or Hyundai etc when it comes to build quality and interior so you’re not missing anything.

      I would never buy one. I know that much.
