It's best then, to avoid Lyft, too.
Was on a trip thru the desert SW recently, on I-10. Stopped over in Van Horn, TX - an overgrown truck stop of a town. At the Hampton Inn they had 8(!) parking spaces reserved for Tesla charging only. Eight Tesla charging stations in the middle of nowhere. All empty, of course. Empty again when we came through town going the other way a week later.
Got to figure Tesla is paying Hampton for those.
Expensive ‘toys’ means expensive repairs... So stop your whining and guess what... You already received a taxpayer handout when you bought your electric ‘toy’, so now when it breaks down... You need to pony up.
Otherwise, do what sensible people do... Buy yourself a Ford F-150 and enjoy.
Tesla is not only in “production hell” but continues to burn cash and is close to bankruptcy. When it formally files, its investors will lose everything (~$290/share to 0 within seconds of a filing) and the environmental movement that placed so much emotional energy, financial and political capital into this company will truly go into shock.
My sister lives in a small town in Iowa. She bought a Tesla, they delivered it to her door, gave her an owners manual and said “see you in a year” (when a representative would stop back to see how she was doing). No local dealer nearby, of course.
If the lefties at SF Chronicle have turned against Musk. He’s finished.
This is the arrogance that kills me. We will do it better in California, put the electrics aside. Where is your logistics infrastructure which includes repairs Elon? Everybody bitches, pisses, and moans about how bad the big 3 are. Really? They get it done, they can build cars, they know serial production and they have the resources to do more like service. He would have been better off to be a design house and farmed the production and service to one of the big 3. I am so tempted to say some other things but I won’t...
Stop whining! The environment is more important than you.
Would you rather hear animals scream as they are slowly dissolved by acid rain?
“while other times the door would open up all by itself — including once on the Interstate at highway speeds. “This is a safety concern for me!””
Perhaps he should consider wearing a seat belt if he feels threatened by an open door.
During Nam, we didn’t exactly have self-sealing doors on our choppers.
“On Tesla online forums, customers complain about long hold times on customer service phone line and waits of sometimes hours to check the status on a car delivery or repair, or to ask for a refund on a deposit. Some say Tesla doesn’t get back to them at all.”
Absolute IDIOTS. You don’t buy a Tesla to DRIVE it, you buy it to hold your nose up at others and show them how much you care (about the planet) and what asshole they are by driving gasoline cars.
What the hell were these idiots thinking?
Teslas also go through tires.
But they’re good for the environment.
