      As someone who owns a Tesla, and 3 non Teslas…nothing they showed is a short coming. It’s just hard for “car guys” to admit it. Teslas has a basically non functional cruise control (thanks cameras) and auto wipers that are worse than sticking a squeegee out the window. Paint that’s thinner than a matchbox car and a front trunk cover so thin a baby could dent it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a hell of a drivers car if people could check their ego and bias.

It's so funny because the very people who cheered them on for a decade, are the ones who suddenly hate them because the CEO doesn't worship at their political alter. That's it. There's no objective measure that justifies how hard these people knock them. It's purely self-righteous narcissism, just like religious fundamentalists who won't buy Starbucks because the owners don't share the same views. We've become a culture of children.

    The problem with the display (I have one in my Model Y) is that it blocks a crap load of your air flow from the stupid tesla vents. I need to find someone who can 3D print some air guides to fix this. Also, since the display is a touch screen I went ahead and got a yoke style wheel so you don't have to reach through the opening in the round wheel to touch the touch screen. Also, alway have been a car guy, you should see the screaming on Tesla forums saying "that will void your warranty!!!!!" every time you mention doing ANYTHING to your Tesla.

    Just wanna drop this here, before my first Tesla I had 10+ German cars build and tuned with my own hands. The VW TDI lie just ended it for me, so I got a performance model 3 and modded the suspension, it was a beast, and silent, no fire, no pops, no turbo lag, No oil changes or BOV leaks! Now I daily drive a Model S Plaid w/ Carbon ceramics for the 320kmh+ (200mph) on the autobahn and nothing else is close. You can’t get a faster car for the money with a Tesla vs ICE. Even perf modding you would spend $10k more for 30+ psi in a gutted K20 shit hatch, than a performance model 3 and still get gapped in the 1/4 mile. One has two trunks and four seats plus airbags and the other is track only fire suit disaster.
    Many Tesla owners are former motor heads, but in the end speed and reliability is king.
