Tesla could go back to non adjustable seats and people would celebrate it as "having such great design the seats don't need to be adjustable"

I believe it's on the side pillars like the new Model 3. It's also on the screen when you have the turn signal activated. On the previous gen which I have, it on the screen when you activate the turn signal. It will make an annoying sound if you try to change lanes. You can also see cars all around you anytime

That’s why they say, love is blind

Yeah I guess you can say that about the top selling vehicle in the US. I absolutely, positively love it, with faults and all.

Now Cyber Truck on the other hand, great vehicle, but too ugly for even this Tesla enthusiast

Loving it is great. Not recognizing that there are faults is not as great lol

No one has ever said Tesla doesn't have faults, you have to point out where I ever said that. I've complained many times about them removing stalks, about the Cyber trucks looks. As far as putting everything in the infotainment screen, I love that, and most Tesla owners will tell you the same thing. And I stand by that no other auto makers can match their infotainment screen, software, and the speed in which they keep it updated. If you think that's brainwashing, then I don't know what to say

Never said you have said that, but plenty of people here and elsewhere have a hard time finding any fault with a Tesla.

Every car that exists has strengths and weaknesses, and I have no problem acknowledging the weaknesses. And I have no problems with others being critical of Tesla. I do sometimes display some irritation when others (not you) try to fill in the experience blanks, but that's my shortcoming I need to fix

Drinking the Tesla koolaid is now a bad thing. Dammit. I'm always behind the cool curve. Maybe it's my commitment issues.

At 248k, I went to a '10 460L - Page 4 - ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion

I think it looks pretty cool. I’ve always said that. maybe it’s the unpainted metal that throws it off for you. But when I saw it with a wrap, I thought it looked really good Way better than the new GMC Hummer. CT looks like a premium experience

To be completely fair, I did flirt with the idea of buying a C8 and even a used S Class, but didn't pull the trigger. Still thinking about adding a C8 vert, but the Plaid speed has kinda spoiled me and made it feel slow. I almost pulled the trigger a few times on the older Model S too, but the price changes turned me off. The Model S performance speed was always in the back of my head. Then the Plaid came out and the price started dropping, and I decided it was time.

The problem is, in the meantime, I bought another 24k mile 430 and the Plaid didn't replace either of them. Just add to them. And I have another toy. So, something has got to give. Might be the high mileage 430. But I love her. With all my heart. And I know she loves me. And it's gonna be a tough breakup, even though I know it's the right thing to do. Pray for us.

holy walk back. your first comment there sure made it sound directed at amirza (and perhaps others), might be nice if you'd clarified that you weren't including him.

but plenty ofpeople here and elsewhere have a hard time finding any fault with a Tesla.
i know of only one user here who is very sensitive about any criticism of tesla. elsewhere, of course there's lots.

no that's not it.

the back end in particular looks as cheap as a plain metal lunch box.

CT blows my mind. Sometimes I think it's a joke. Most of the time I think it's a lifestyle vehicle for the rich showoffs. Kinda like a different BroDozer.
It has many advancements like drive by wire; maybe Musk wants to build a jet?

There are quite a few around here. IMO, there are far better ways to spend 100 large. But each to their own, and it is outselling the other EV trucks.
I'll hold on to my trusty Tundra, thank you... Only 215K or so.
