plus the fact tesla cars are so badly put together

I hate the concept of not having buttons and a driver panel (analogic or digital).

I wouldn't argue with quality. The quality isn't that bad and even if it was, that's something they might improve in the future. You shouldn't buy one of these cars because you're straight forward supporting an insane fascist.

I wasnt saying it as an โ€œinsteadโ€ but as an โ€œadditionโ€

[โ€“] rbn@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 weeks ago

IMHO it weakens your overall standing in debates if you mix very important (facism) and less important (quality issues) because it allows your opponents to argue against the less important topic to distract from the main point.

They are built like a Lada at the proce point of a BMW. And future build quality means nothing when it comes down to the car you bought today.

My buddy messed up and spilled a drink in his model X. When pulling up the carpet and panels to clean up he found a bunch of blue painterโ€™s tape where there were supposed to be wiring harnesses and screws. Youโ€™ll note that blue painters tape is designed to be temporary, and will not last more than a year or two.
