You have to appreciate Elon for being able to pioneer an ev that is fun and exciting and just spear-heading and paving the road for other ev makers. I am neither a Tesla owner or a Tesla fan but competition makes for better EVs for all of us. I am just a car enthusiast. Every car will have defects as long as the defect doesn’t kill you 😂 Elon is quirky and eccentric… I still can’t say his kid’s name🤣 always appreciate your videos!
On the crazy right, people hate Elon Musk for exactly what the fans love him for, creating a market for EVs. I give him credit for that. People hate him for clearly making decisions that impact his company and the world while high. Both his ridiculous proposal to take Tesla private and his twitter takeover bid had weed/420 references. His concern for “free speech,” seems to ignore issues with harassment on Twitter and the harm caused by lies about our election. In short, in a divided country, he has pissed off a large portion of both sides.
Most SUV's are either bubbles or bricks. Tesla's are bubbles. In some areas they have become so popular that getting something different isn't a bad thing. I prefer bricks, but hey. To each his own. Also unfortunately Elon's not exactly uncontroversial. I know some people who won't buy them because of Elon. There has also been some inconsistent service and build quality, but I think that's a little overblown. All car companies have their issues, especially on 1st generation models (Chevy Bolt, I'm looking at you).
dear S, you are nor wrong IMO why some people hate Tesla. I think you just left out the massive lobbying by Legacy Auto, paying for MSM to trash talk Tesla, and some folks believe this.
@@EVandChill U barely out of dipper's and already when threw 7 EVs u do not even keep them long enough to know shit about them ! I have owned a few trucks long then u have been alive !
Hating on EV’s is justified considering the damage they will do. Research Thacker Pass and look into how forced transition to EV’s is benefitting politicians.
It sounds like you are an out of control consumer. If it wasnt for Tesla the days of ICE wouldnt be numbered and a lot of people like their ICE, thats surely why Tesla gets the hate. I own a Tesla and a classic V8 so i can see both sides.
I’ve gotten coal rolled a couple times but any time someone approaches me about my car (usually at chargers) it’s almost always the same two questions, How far can it go? How long does it take to charge?
If you are asking... I personally dislike the minimalist interior... I find the stumpy hood to be ugly and the body to cab transition is ugly. Also issues with Musk. He is a troll... And his politics... And then you get down to his anti union practices. All that adds up to why we are getting a Mach-E rather than a Tesla.
The hate for tesla is "usually" not for the product that Tesla introduce; but rather the practices that Tesla use as a company regarding their costumers and their products. Also Tesla sometimes in some of their products seems to force reinvinting the wheel " removing all important shortcut buttons and making every thing like an app on the screen " and more.
Disagree. The practices of Tesla are precisely why customers are the most satisfied of all car owners in the industry and appreciated even by aspiringTesla owners. When Tesla removed radar while making the cars safer than ever as shown by recent safety testing in Europe, customers are happy and appreciate the boldness of Tesla when they constantly ask how can we remove an unnecessary part from the car and make the car better performing and a better value. Ultrasonic sensors are next to go and I applaud this since I am confident that the car will be better without these. Some people initially complain but then love the result. I think the hate comes from knee jerk reaction by some to Elon being rich and influential. Some people just don't like that anyone can be this. Others are inspired and realize that Musk and Tesla have earned every penny because they have changed the auto industry forever against all odds which will finally help the climate and drastically reduce car fatalities in the near future.
I think a lot of it is Tesla is still synonymous with EVs even though most companies are in the game. So all the people that are EV haters are by extension Tesla haters. Especially since Tesla sparked the EV transition.
Doesn’t really matter how much they hate for any reason, they’re not going anywhere, and everyone is not gonna like every product. People hate Apple but they keep going, people comment saying they would never buy a GM product because they took a government loan years ago , yet they still sell Silverado, Tahoe, Corvette, Camaros, Buicks, GMCs, Cadillacs in droves. Hate stops nothing, and hate wouldn’t stop me from enjoying my Model 3 or buying a second one…

I remember standing inside a Blockbuster in the late 90’s asking them if they were concerned about streaming movies, and they said they said the Bandwidth was the limiting factor and they could not see that changing in the future.

Great video with great points! We could all use some of this critical thinking and perspective. We don’t plan to buy a Tesla due to what we think the value vs. the high cost is, but that’s entirely subjective. Costs will eventually come down and will speed up with more competition. For us the more important item is to get all ICE vehicles off the road and more EVs on the road to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Tesla deserves some recognition and appreciation for supercharging this process. Kudos for a smart, savvy and cool headed video! 👏
It's not that people hate Tesla's it's concept of an electric car they hate. They call it all an hoax, you are a greenie nut job. I would love a Tesla, but where I live totally impractical, but if I move back to a big city, I will buy a EV for sure. I do go through with this love hate thing with cars now. I own a Jeep Grand Cherokee and boy do people hate these cars, can't even get it fixed, the 3 service centres where I live call it all the names under the sun and even 2 said, don't want to work on it.
I have nothing against Tesla. They do look nice. The only thing I would say is perhaps they could update the body styles. Gr8 vid as usual, Shannon! 🚙 🇺🇸 🌺
There is so much to unpack in your video her. 1) what brings you to distracted driving? If we can’t use our cellular phone while driving, why would you think it’s safe to record a video while driving? 2) nobody is going to tell you that one has an “ugly car”. In particular that Americans in general like to talk behind your back, and might still feel as it being “ugly”. My dislike in Tesla is that you see them all over the Bay Area, and while the styling is OK it’s a bit boring imo. 3) when you introduced the video and “that’s what we will be talking about”, you meant you’ , and we have to listen/enjoy your video. 4) Yes Tesla is a pioneer in this, however it also shows in the quality and customer care that they still have a lot to improve on.
Quite a bit of the hate is because Tesla keeps proving people wrong and it's practices threaten their livelihoods or perks that they are used to. For example, the short sellers. Most of the financial networks kept bringing on people like Jim Chanos who would say there was no way Tesla's could possibly survive and that it would be bankrupt by the end of the year, next year at the latest. And online on comment boards and forums it was forums it was much the same. We know how THAT turned out for them. For a few too many the only way for Tesla to be succeeding is "because of fraud!". Then you have the OG EV advocates who think people should be in goofy, ugly little clown cars with short ranges. Cough, cough, OG Nissan Leaf, cough, cough. The Leaf is being discontinued and the Model 3 & Y are not just the best selling EVs, they outsell all other luxury brands. And now everyone is coming out with larger, longer ranged EVs with the only short ranged EVs being compliance cars like the Mazda MX-30. And of course you have auto journalists whose publications rely on advertising revenue and who are used to getting perks from manufacturers. Tesla doesn't advertise. Watch Doug DeMuro's video "Here's How Press Cars Work" to get an idea of the perks auto journalists get from manufacturers. And then there are the Stealerships. EVs, with their minimal maintenance, threaten one of their most profitable departments, service & maintenance. On top of that Tesla's (and Rivian & Lucid) direct sales model threatens their existence. And finally there are the people whose fortunes and/or livelihoods depend on fossil fuel vehicles.
1. Eveyone and their mother has Tesla. It become so saturated. It's like the modern corolla. They all look the same. 2. It looks outdated and looks boring AF. 3. Quality aren't great. 4. Road noise, not comfortable ride. 5. It's a gimmicky car with overhyped autopilot. Try enjoying driving a car. 6. It takes 5 steps to do someone so simple for that stupid screen, no cluster. 7. Brand is tainted with the stupidity of their CEO.
People brag about how Tesla sells so much volume. But one of the biggest turn off is seeing Teslas at every intersection. Often the same color and model. Its taking 17 months for my i4 M50 to get here. But just by the rarity, it will well be worth the wait. I can go days without seeing an i4, compared to minutes between Tesla sightings.
I don't like the look of the Model 3/Y because it looks too bland to me. I also don't like that it's all over the place. It's got nothing to do with Musk and his antics.
Mmm. I'd say the superb designers, engineers, technicians, programmers, and workers have made Tesla such a success over the past 10 years -*despite* Elon's personality disorders. Why such hate for Teslas? First, because they are, by far, the most numerous, visible, representive of EVs… and there is a lot of "hate" from pe'trolls toward EVs, period. If the fossil fools can take down the frontrunner, they can do real damage to the entire EV movement and keep "pushing" their addictive "drug." Another reason is… jealousy. Plain and simple. People know Teslas are fast, gorgeous, reliable, comfortable, clean, quiet, and thus resent that they outshine and outperform their own car, from Hondas to Ferraris. Finally, you know I love my Model 3 -although I will admit there are times when I miss my previous LEAF. What I don't love is that Tesla is refusing to cover the breakdown of components in the HV Battery Service Panel under the HV Battery and Drive Unit Warranty. I'm now in arbitration over that dispute, and we'll see what the outcome will be.
I had the Model 3 and switched to the Mach E premium RWD and after going a roadtrip I realized how much I missed being on the Tesla ecosystem. Since I got the Mach E at MSRP before the price went up, Im planning on getting a used Model Y long Range which if I negotiate I can probably do an even swap.
@@walex19 already got the Model Y before the price decrease but broke even cause I got it under the previous MSRP price and they gave me more for my Mach E as trade in . Paid $49100 for the Mach E and got $55,500 , Model Y was $65990 and got it for $59,000 . So the profit of the Mach E plus the discounted price for the Y , compensates for the loss of value it just had. Yes I will still be missing on the Tax Credit. Oh well
Brand Loyalty goes BOTH ways. Liberal Elite Green Eago's telling me how great her expensive toy is. This is what is wrong with America right now. Only one perspective only one view, my view or your evil.
Hi, found your post after looking for your ppl model Y satin Red cause I am thinking of ppl exactly same spec. that’s coming in a month. This post got me thinking. I live in Japan and there are some constraints to EVs. Some live in apartments; charging issues. Even model Y, is beyond regular size spec. (We have many 660cc engine ‘K’ cars here - cheaper tax). Mr, Toyoda(Toyota) is worried about laying off so many people if everyone goes EVs suddenly. Japan’s energy source is mainly fossil, so in a macro scale it will not change carbon emissions, either way. It’s a difficult choice to u-turning to nuclear after 311 Fukushima incident. From what I hear from a couple of car dealer staff, EVs push is to cripple Toyota. Whatever the case, you go with what you can afford. To me, not that I dare to try 0-60(100km) in sub 4 sec., but I will not buy ICE with double the price. Back to ppl question, is ppl satin red has some color added? (Not clear right) Any color specification? After effects is more matte? Thanks
One of your best videos yet 📹 🙂 I think 🤔 people don't like Tesla because of change people don't like change, a fact Tesla electric cars make there old technology toxic ice car look like a old bit of slow noisy toxic rubbish, maybe this is why they hate Tesla it so good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💙💙💙😉 😀 😜 just a thought 😉
If I could have a dealer close by (I think Richmond or Winston-0Salem is vlosest - 300-400 miles away. I couldn't care less about Elon. He's a rich guy who makes money and good for him. Oh, yeah. The charger situation is another but the new law means close chargers. My problems with Mach-E and the 400-mile to pick up it (remember-couldn't get it home with the lack of chargers) means nothing to me I don't blame Ford or the dealer. Someday I will and looks like sooner than later.
Great video, you are totally right without Tesla or Elon I wouldn’t be able to drive my i4 M50. I like it better than a Tesla 3 Performance but this is totally a personal choice. Hope we all agree any EV is better than a ICE car.
Elon is Elon…to make massive changes in society means taking risks and saying what people don’t like to hear! Overall, he is a positive force for humanity and so I respect him.
I hate Tesla because of the racial Discrimination against Black people, calling Where the black people work in the company the Plantation side etc, and Elon Musks answer to it was "People need to be a little it more thick skinned" for that Tesla will never get a dime out of me.
You are absolutely right. There just seems to be alot of very unhappy people on social media and they are directing that unhappiness out to whomever else is on social media.
Hi Shannon. I happen to ❤️ my Mach E. It's a great vehicle. I watched this RUclips video on the screen in the Mach E after an OTA update. When I bought my ME, I expected problems and there were some. But nothing major. And just like Tesla's, they keep improving with time. I don't hate Tesla's but I'm glad I didn't get the MY. I ❤️ my satellite radio. Android Auto is ok but they just added Alexa and that's an improvement over Google. All-in-all, I'm happy with my car. What I don't have that I like in the MY is pet mode, Tesla-cam, and camp mode. What I don't like about the MY is the screen fonts. They are too darn small for my old eyes. I prefer a few buttons and don't care for the minimalist style. As for Tesla overall, I don't care for their service record. A minor fender-bender can take months to get repaired and sometimes they do it in very short time. Just like "a box of chocolates", you never know what you'll get except high service prices. Even so, I don't hate Tesla's nor Tesla owners. I'm glad they made the transition to an EV. But it's a different story when it comes to Elon Musk and the Tesla Board. Full Self Driving? Nonsense. Autopilot. Ditto. They knew it was misleading but decided to use those monikers anyway. Both are level 2 ADAS. Neither will ever be capable of being used as an automated rental car while the owner isn't using it. Elon Musk, through his tweets, has shown himself to be an admirer of white nationalists and dictators. He can't stand to have his speech censored but doesn't have any trouble stifling the speech of others. I can see Twitter becoming the next Parler or Truth Social if he buys it. There's one thing that I find admirable in Musk. He helped to change the automotive industry. And that's a great thing. I bought a Tesla product before it became Tesla...solar panels for my home. I bought them from Solar City. I was mostly satisfied with them. Then Tesla took over. Mostly satisfied has turned into mostly dissatisfied. Service is terrible. My original Inverter failed a little after 10 years just as I was told when I bought the system. But it took over 6 months to get a new one installed. That loss of power cost me at least $800 in extra electricity bills. That's unacceptable. No one else would touch the system unless it was removed and they put in their own. They try to do all of their planning remotely. Calling them is next to impossible. So now I'm stuck with Tesla and their service de jour. No. I don't hate Tesla. But I don't buy from companies I don't trust. I don't trust anything Musk says and I've had enough experience with my Tesla solar to say I don't trust the company in it's current form. Glad you like your Tesla and I hope it stays that way.
I don’t hate Tesla but sometimes I hate the way they do business. Example. Customer Service is disputable especially for roadside assistance. If you call Tesla you will be bounced around with automated messages. I love the Model S and I’m planning to get them Model Y. I may not like practices and certain aspects of Tesla but I don’t hate them. I find similar quirks with my Kia, Honda and Ford when I owned those vehicles. Big difference is the ICE dealerships feel more accessible if I’m in a crunch. Thanks for sharing your take.
I've had my model 3 long range since 3-10-22 and I've gotten hate on the highway a few times. I don't notice because I'm having too much fun leaving them in my rear view mirror. Have fun with your Tesla and ignore haters that are mad because they can't afford one.
Sadly, Tesla Motors abandoned me after 4 year warranty of Model X: "No more verbal communication (only text) from customer to...:. Hello-- any tech PERSON out there... (shrug).
Hey Shannon, I’m about to get a bmw I4 like you had, does it have less interior space than a model three? Because I am 6 foot five and have plenty of room in the model three
Congrats! I’m jealous, my hubby loved the i4! I’d say they are similar. The Model 3 may be just a tad bit more spacious in the rear but not by much but the i4 does have a transmission hump so it may look smaller than what it actually is. What you lose in having a tranny hump, you gain in the i4 having a hatch rather than traditional trunk like the Model 3. Both are great EVs and you will love how the i4 drives!
@@EVandChill I know you got rid of yours pretty quick but you seem to just be steady Pimpin and checking out everything for us. Which we greatly appreciate
Average person can't afford one, some people get jealous and hates the idea that the most reliable vehicle in the world is a Tesla and can't afford one.
I dont understand why the hate too. Its a pioneering USA Company started before Elon took ownership when the orignal 2 men created the Roadster sold the company to Elon. The Lucid CEO was working with Tesla before he left and Created Lucid. So why the hate when both companies are doing great things for the personal transportation choices you have to purchase
its not the hate its the charge hour :-) why not make them so u can charge with 3-4 cables at the same time? instead for an hour u could charge in 15minutes:-)
You’re clearly a Tesla fangirl. I knew you wouldn’t be happy with “lesser” EVs like the Mach-E and EV6 despite them being better quality than any Tesla, simply because as a Tesla fangirl you need the panache you feel Tesla brings. They’re sexy in the ether but they’re very aesthetically dated and poorly made. Once the competition catches up, and they are and will within two years, they will collectively squeeze the life out of Tesla for a number of reasons and the gouging (which is where the profits are coming from) will end. In ten years Tesla will be little more than a quaint, fondly remembered footnote in automotive history, and Elon will be working on his offspring spreadsheet.
@@snate2.0 Nope, Tesla will fade into the woodwork. They can only get away with shoddy cars when there aren’t options. Now there are. Once they all ramp production to bigger numbers they’ll eat Tesla’s lunch. They have zero chance of surviving selling only $50,000+ cars of poor quality. The only reason the Lyriq, Ioniq 5, EV6, the Audis, etc already aren’t blowing them out is they don’t have the production bandwidth yet. Yet…. It’s a completely different dynamic when you have no competition and can name your price, and when the competition is bigger and with deeper pockets and can easily surpass your quality while squeezing you on price.
@@snate2.0 Another point is that most Tesla buyers are early adopter techies with substantial disposable income. This is a fragment of who the buyers will be by 2030. EVs will just be “cars” by then. People who today buy Chevy Malibus and entry level Kias, people who are not enthusiasts, they won’t care about the sexy aspect of EVs because those sexy EVs will still be at the high end of the spectrum. Chevy will probably sell more small and midsize mainstream EVs alone than all of Tesla’s models. And let’s not forget Tesla comes in exactly last in vehicle quality.
I respect your opinion but my experience of owning the latest and greatest from different manufacturers tells me a different story. I’m not sure what the future holds as does anyone else but as of current, everyone else has major work to do to catch up. Quality control is usually what most people say but again, the worst vehicle I’ve owned was the Mach-E from Ford. Four years of owning Tesla and the most maintenance reliability I had was topping off windshield wiper fluid. Experience talks.
@@EVandChill Then you dont go anywhere. Ok, so, I will go at this a bit more softly. For a while I was an EV enthusiast. That was until I found out the industry was made up of underachievers. A gas vehicle industry who left that ratio at 33% power production and the EV industry that while the car can convert power at a 89% conversion rate they never factor out where the original power comes from which drops that to about 40%. Also the fact that the batteries explode if the lithium contacts air is a down side. Honestly Mercedes had a better idea. A EV with a gas range extender that could fit in 1/3rd of the trunk space. Personally I am about to start running LPG on my truck because of the benefits. No real wear on the engine. An almost equal power ratio to gas. Less heat. Also 2 dollars per gallon. Listen. I am not against EVs, I am against the industry not actually spending the time and energy to research new power storage which is the major problem of the type. Gas car comapnies did the same thing by being in bed with OPEC and never researching how to burn gas completely. I am a 3 year certified diesel technician and a one year automotive tech. I know the bullshit that the industry pulls. Did you know that they hobble Japanese cars so they cannot fully compete with the US market. They do it all in the main computer which is total GM BS. Anyway, I thought I would give you the TLDR version. Have fun.
You have to appreciate Elon for being able to pioneer an ev that is fun and exciting and just spear-heading and paving the road for other ev makers. I am neither a Tesla owner or a Tesla fan but competition makes for better EVs for all of us. I am just a car enthusiast. Every car will have defects as long as the defect doesn’t kill you 😂 Elon is quirky and eccentric… I still can’t say his kid’s name🤣 always appreciate your videos!

I think Tesla hate these days is mainly attributable to disdain for Elon Musk but then for the cars themselves in that they’re poorly built.
7 EVs have showed me differently. I don’t doubt other people’s horror stories but the only EV horror story I had came from the Mach-E.

It's sad that EVs are being politicized all because of this climate change conspiracy theory liberals and conservatives push onto the public.
The majority of people who hate Tesla have never owned a Tesla. That says about all you need to know.

And of course you have auto journalists whose publications rely on advertising revenue and who are used to getting perks from manufacturers.
Tesla doesn't advertise.
Watch Doug DeMuro's video "Here's How Press Cars Work" to get an idea of the perks auto journalists get from manufacturers.
And then there are the Stealerships. EVs, with their minimal maintenance, threaten one of their most profitable departments, service & maintenance. On top of that Tesla's (and Rivian & Lucid) direct sales model threatens their existence.
And finally there are the people whose fortunes and/or livelihoods depend on fossil fuel vehicles.
Here is the word lovely Shannon. When June bug sonnybubba comes up and he is looking at you he says that is a mighty fine looking car lady
1. Eveyone and their mother has Tesla. It become so saturated. It's like the modern corolla. They all look the same. 2. It looks outdated and looks boring AF. 3. Quality aren't great. 4. Road noise, not comfortable ride. 5. It's a gimmicky car with overhyped autopilot. Try enjoying driving a car. 6. It takes 5 steps to do someone so simple for that stupid screen, no cluster. 7. Brand is tainted with the stupidity of their CEO.
May I ask with you owning 2 Teslas, do you find your back being too hot during long drives without ventilated seats?
I will never buy a Tesla because of Elon. But I believe people should buy what makes them happy.
People brag about how Tesla sells so much volume. But one of the biggest turn off is seeing Teslas at every intersection. Often the same color and model. Its taking 17 months for my i4 M50 to get here. But just by the rarity, it will well be worth the wait. I can go days without seeing an i4, compared to minutes between Tesla sightings.
Have you looked for canceled M50 orders? When I bought my i4, there were multiple eDrive40 or M50 that were available due to canceled orders.
I don't like the look of the Model 3/Y because it looks too bland to me. I also don't like that it's all over the place. It's got nothing to do with Musk and his antics.
Tesla is the new BMW. People associate Tesla with pretentiousness.
They talked about the Mach E, because ford calles it a Mustang and for that, people have something negative to say.
Mmm. I'd say the superb designers, engineers, technicians, programmers, and workers have made Tesla such a success over the past 10 years -*despite* Elon's personality disorders. Why such hate for Teslas? First, because they are, by far, the most numerous, visible, representive of EVs… and there is a lot of "hate" from pe'trolls toward EVs, period. If the fossil fools can take down the frontrunner, they can do real damage to the entire EV movement and keep "pushing" their addictive "drug." Another reason is… jealousy. Plain and simple. People know Teslas are fast, gorgeous, reliable, comfortable, clean, quiet, and thus resent that they outshine and outperform their own car, from Hondas to Ferraris. Finally, you know I love my Model 3 -although I will admit there are times when I miss my previous LEAF. What I don't love is that Tesla is refusing to cover the breakdown of components in the HV Battery Service Panel under the HV Battery and Drive Unit Warranty. I'm now in arbitration over that dispute, and we'll see what the outcome will be.
Thanks Mark. Crazy about your dispute. Hopefully they do the right thing and fix it as part of warranty claim.
On what grounds were they disputing it?
This is a great video, keep up the good work!
I had the Model 3 and switched to the Mach E premium RWD and after going a roadtrip I realized how much I missed being on the Tesla ecosystem. Since I got the Mach E at MSRP before the price went up, Im planning on getting a used Model Y long Range which if I negotiate I can probably do an even swap.
You’re in luck now with the price decrease.
@@walex19 already got the Model Y before the price decrease but broke even cause I got it under the previous MSRP price and they gave me more for my Mach E as trade in . Paid $49100 for the Mach E and got $55,500 , Model Y was $65990 and got it for $59,000 . So the profit of the Mach E plus the discounted price for the Y , compensates for the loss of value it just had. Yes I will still be missing on the Tax Credit. Oh well
brand loyalty makes ppl blind.
Or informed...
Brand Loyalty goes BOTH ways. Liberal Elite Green Eago's telling me how great her expensive toy is. This is what is wrong with America right now. Only one perspective only one view, my view or your evil.
My issue with Tesla is the bland look.
Hi, found your post after looking for your ppl model Y satin Red cause I am thinking of ppl exactly same spec. that’s coming in a month. This post got me thinking. I live in Japan and there are some constraints to EVs. Some live in apartments; charging issues. Even model Y, is beyond regular size spec. (We have many 660cc engine ‘K’ cars here - cheaper tax). Mr, Toyoda(Toyota) is worried about laying off so many people if everyone goes EVs suddenly. Japan’s energy source is mainly fossil, so in a macro scale it will not change carbon emissions, either way. It’s a difficult choice to u-turning to nuclear after 311 Fukushima incident. From what I hear from a couple of car dealer staff, EVs push is to cripple Toyota. Whatever the case, you go with what you can afford. To me, not that I dare to try 0-60(100km) in sub 4 sec., but I will not buy ICE with double the price. Back to ppl question, is ppl satin red has some color added? (Not clear right) Any color specification? After effects is more matte? Thanks
One of your best videos yet 📹 🙂 I think 🤔 people don't like Tesla because of change people don't like change, a fact Tesla electric cars make there old technology toxic ice car look like a old bit of slow noisy toxic rubbish, maybe this is why they hate Tesla it so good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💙💙💙😉 😀 😜 just a thought 😉
If I could have a dealer close by (I think Richmond or Winston-0Salem is vlosest - 300-400 miles away. I couldn't care less about Elon. He's a rich guy who makes money and good for him. Oh, yeah. The charger situation is another but the new law means close chargers. My problems with Mach-E and the 400-mile to pick up it (remember-couldn't get it home with the lack of chargers) means nothing to me I don't blame Ford or the dealer. Someday I will and looks like sooner than later.
And that was a really well-written note.:)
Great video, you are totally right without Tesla or Elon I wouldn’t be able to drive my i4 M50. I like it better than a Tesla 3 Performance but this is totally a personal choice. Hope we all agree any EV is better than a ICE car.
Elon is Elon…to make massive changes in society means taking risks and saying what people don’t like to hear! Overall, he is a positive force for humanity and so I respect him.
I hate Tesla because of the racial Discrimination against Black people, calling Where the black people work in the company the Plantation side etc, and Elon Musks answer to it was "People need to be a little it more thick skinned" for that Tesla will never get a dime out of me.
Stop drinking the kool-aid
@@snate2.0 Facts!! Look it up yourself!!
Mopar man.
@@snate2.0 OK, your just Trolling.
Bot
You are absolutely right. There just seems to be alot of very unhappy people on social media and they are directing that unhappiness out to whomever else is on social media.
So my takeaway is that you want to live with the UPS guy and missed getting a screw from Tim Cook.
Always enjoy your commentary.
Hi Shannon. I happen to ❤️ my Mach E. It's a great vehicle. I watched this RUclips video on the screen in the Mach E after an OTA update. When I bought my ME, I expected problems and there were some. But nothing major. And just like Tesla's, they keep improving with time. I don't hate Tesla's but I'm glad I didn't get the MY. I ❤️ my satellite radio. Android Auto is ok but they just added Alexa and that's an improvement over Google. All-in-all, I'm happy with my car.
What I don't have that I like in the MY is pet mode, Tesla-cam, and camp mode. What I don't like about the MY is the screen fonts. They are too darn small for my old eyes. I prefer a few buttons and don't care for the minimalist style.
As for Tesla overall, I don't care for their service record. A minor fender-bender can take months to get repaired and sometimes they do it in very short time. Just like "a box of chocolates", you never know what you'll get except high service prices.
Even so, I don't hate Tesla's nor Tesla owners. I'm glad they made the transition to an EV.
But it's a different story when it comes to Elon Musk and the Tesla Board. Full Self Driving? Nonsense. Autopilot. Ditto. They knew it was misleading but decided to use those monikers anyway. Both are level 2 ADAS. Neither will ever be capable of being used as an automated rental car while the owner isn't using it.
Elon Musk, through his tweets, has shown himself to be an admirer of white nationalists and dictators. He can't stand to have his speech censored but doesn't have any trouble stifling the speech of others. I can see Twitter becoming the next Parler or Truth Social if he buys it.
There's one thing that I find admirable in Musk. He helped to change the automotive industry. And that's a great thing.
I bought a Tesla product before it became Tesla...solar panels for my home. I bought them from Solar City. I was mostly satisfied with them. Then Tesla took over. Mostly satisfied has turned into mostly dissatisfied. Service is terrible. My original Inverter failed a little after 10 years just as I was told when I bought the system. But it took over 6 months to get a new one installed. That loss of power cost me at least $800 in extra electricity bills. That's unacceptable. No one else would touch the system unless it was removed and they put in their own. They try to do all of their planning remotely. Calling them is next to impossible. So now I'm stuck with Tesla and their service de jour.
No. I don't hate Tesla. But I don't buy from companies I don't trust. I don't trust anything Musk says and I've had enough experience with my Tesla solar to say I don't trust the company in it's current form.
Glad you like your Tesla and I hope it stays that way.
You're adding more problems to the electrical grid and the electrical real puts a lot of carbon put out
I ❤ Tesla
I don’t hate Tesla but sometimes I hate the way they do business. Example. Customer Service is disputable especially for roadside assistance. If you call Tesla you will be bounced around with automated messages. I love the Model S and I’m planning to get them Model Y. I may not like practices and certain aspects of Tesla but I don’t hate them. I find similar quirks with my Kia, Honda and Ford when I owned those vehicles. Big difference is the ICE dealerships feel more accessible if I’m in a crunch. Thanks for sharing your take.
You obviously don't own a Tesla.
@@snate2.0 Ahh. Yeah I do. And I love it. Will trade it for a Model Y and I can’t wait.
Same me too. Why different car vehicles (honda, ford etc) He drive, yell at me and almost hit my car tesla. 10 time.
bad build quality, common boring design, not very unique anymore.
I've had my model 3 long range since 3-10-22 and I've gotten hate on the highway a few times. I don't notice because I'm having too much fun leaving them in my rear view mirror. Have fun with your Tesla and ignore haters that are mad because they can't afford one.
Sadly, Tesla Motors abandoned me after 4 year warranty of Model X: "No more verbal communication (only text) from customer to...:. Hello-- any tech PERSON out there... (shrug).
And Gm? Ford? After 4 years?
Hey Shannon, I’m about to get a bmw I4 like you had, does it have less interior space than a model three? Because I am 6 foot five and have plenty of room in the model three
Congrats! I’m jealous, my hubby loved the i4!
I’d say they are similar. The Model 3 may be just a tad bit more spacious in the rear but not by much but the i4 does have a transmission hump so it may look smaller than what it actually is. What you lose in having a tranny hump, you gain in the i4 having a hatch rather than traditional trunk like the Model 3. Both are great EVs and you will love how the i4 drives!
@@EVandChill I know you got rid of yours pretty quick but you seem to just be steady Pimpin and checking out everything for us. Which we greatly appreciate
Average person can't afford one, some people get jealous and hates the idea that the most reliable vehicle in the world is a Tesla and can't afford one.
I dont understand why the hate too. Its a pioneering USA Company started before Elon took ownership when the orignal 2 men created the Roadster sold the company to Elon. The Lucid CEO was working with Tesla before he left and Created Lucid. So why the hate when both companies are doing great things for the personal transportation choices you have to purchase
A universal positive message for today's society at large.
its not the hate its the charge hour :-) why not make them so u can charge with 3-4 cables at the same time?
instead for an hour u could charge in 15minutes:-)
Lol what? It's the source kW that determines how fast a charge you get, and Tesla has supercharging stations all over at this point.
Well that was 11:34 of my time wasted. Wow
Is it worse that it took you 11:34 minutes to figure that out?
You’re clearly a Tesla fangirl. I knew you wouldn’t be happy with “lesser” EVs like the Mach-E and EV6 despite them being better quality than any Tesla, simply because as a Tesla fangirl you need the panache you feel Tesla brings. They’re sexy in the ether but they’re very aesthetically dated and poorly made. Once the competition catches up, and they are and will within two years, they will collectively squeeze the life out of Tesla for a number of reasons and the gouging (which is where the profits are coming from) will end. In ten years Tesla will be little more than a quaint, fondly remembered footnote in automotive history, and Elon will be working on his offspring spreadsheet.
Once they catch up to where Tesla is now..Tesla won't be there...
@@snate2.0 Nope, Tesla will fade into the woodwork. They can only get away with shoddy cars when there aren’t options. Now there are. Once they all ramp production to bigger numbers they’ll eat Tesla’s lunch. They have zero chance of surviving selling only $50,000+ cars of poor quality. The only reason the Lyriq, Ioniq 5, EV6, the Audis, etc already aren’t blowing them out is they don’t have the production bandwidth yet. Yet…. It’s a completely different dynamic when you have no competition and can name your price, and when the competition is bigger and with deeper pockets and can easily surpass your quality while squeezing you on price.
@@JohnCap523 atleast you have memorialized your prediction. I have as well. I got my popcorn ready...Time will tell.
@@snate2.0 Another point is that most Tesla buyers are early adopter techies with substantial disposable income. This is a fragment of who the buyers will be by 2030. EVs will just be “cars” by then. People who today buy Chevy Malibus and entry level Kias, people who are not enthusiasts, they won’t care about the sexy aspect of EVs because those sexy EVs will still be at the high end of the spectrum. Chevy will probably sell more small and midsize mainstream EVs alone than all of Tesla’s models.
And let’s not forget Tesla comes in exactly last in vehicle quality.
I respect your opinion but my experience of owning the latest and greatest from different manufacturers tells me a different story. I’m not sure what the future holds as does anyone else but as of current, everyone else has major work to do to catch up. Quality control is usually what most people say but again, the worst vehicle I’ve owned was the Mach-E from Ford. Four years of owning Tesla and the most maintenance reliability I had was topping off windshield wiper fluid. Experience talks.
Why? Because it is an inferior product. Period. If you like being stranded then yeah the Tesla will work.
Only vehicle that has left me stranded was the Ford Mach-E..
@@EVandChill Then you dont go anywhere. Ok, so, I will go at this a bit more softly. For a while I was an EV enthusiast. That was until I found out the industry was made up of underachievers. A gas vehicle industry who left that ratio at 33% power production and the EV industry that while the car can convert power at a 89% conversion rate they never factor out where the original power comes from which drops that to about 40%. Also the fact that the batteries explode if the lithium contacts air is a down side. Honestly Mercedes had a better idea. A EV with a gas range extender that could fit in 1/3rd of the trunk space. Personally I am about to start running LPG on my truck because of the benefits. No real wear on the engine. An almost equal power ratio to gas. Less heat. Also 2 dollars per gallon. Listen. I am not against EVs, I am against the industry not actually spending the time and energy to research new power storage which is the major problem of the type. Gas car comapnies did the same thing by being in bed with OPEC and never researching how to burn gas completely. I am a 3 year certified diesel technician and a one year automotive tech. I know the bullshit that the industry pulls. Did you know that they hobble Japanese cars so they cannot fully compete with the US market. They do it all in the main computer which is total GM BS. Anyway, I thought I would give you the TLDR version. Have fun.
