True but you’re tapping a picture of a car so swiping back to go forward wouldn’t make sense. What would make sense is a physical gear shift like every other vehicle in existence.
For REAL, the idea of all these new cars using fucking touch screens is insane to me. Tactile buttons are sooo much safer, I don't use my AUX port in my car and use a blutooth radio tuner for my music because it has tactile buttons for skipping songs and it feels better to be able to do it without looking rather than using my phone directly and having to guess at it.
I'm confused at the level of control these comments think an automatic (that technically only has 1 gear) needs. Are you guys shifting to neutral while weaving between cars?
Why? It’s an automatic, so you’re not going to be shifting gears in the middle of driving, and I guarantee you it won’t let you shift gears while moving.
@@QuotidianStupidity , not my cup of tea, I would say. Some people enjoy cooking, some just want to be fed with bottle. It is personal taste, there is no wrong.
Well you can use the screen or the button obviously but one thing that people need to realize is that there is no gears there is no transmission this is all motor controller software controlled drivetrain, basically there is no drivetrain it's just a wheel hooked up to a motor
See, it’s funny because you don’t change gears. You change the direction the motor spins electronically. So a physical gear shifter would be putting a limit switch on a stick, at which point just use a fkn screen anyway.
@@da4127 don’t buy a Tesla, it’s clearly not the right car for you. Nothing wrong with that opinion at all.

@@lynxrbeam8732 no, I agree with you, I’m not ridiculing anyone’s personal preferences, but the fact that so many car manufacturers thought that getting rid of all buttons and adding all of their functionality inside a screen was super annoying, that’s when people that don’t like this design started to push back. Nothing against anyone who likes Tesla and the no button design, but I’m agains this trend of “let’s make every car like this” and if we don’t voice our dislike, then manufacturers will just keep thinking “guess everybody likes having no buttons at all”, so it’s also important for us to express this

You can’t watch TikTok or anything while the car isn’t parked. There’s no distractions. If there were all the other Teslas would have an abundance of crashes
Correct. A lot of modern cars go in that direction and for many people it seems to be what they want out of cars these days. "live nicely while being stuck in the traffic jam" seems to be the idea.
Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled between rolling hills and ancient forests, there lived a man named Gus Harlow. Gus was a peculiar sort of fellow, known throughout the village for his eccentric ideas and unyielding optimism. He had an old, worn-out garden shed where he spent most of his days tinkering with curious inventions and whimsical experiments. His latest project, however, was rather unusual even by his standards: he aimed to grow a wall potato. The idea had come to him during one of his late-night reading sessions. Gus had been poring over old folklore about magical plants and mythical gardens when he stumbled upon a story about a magical potato that could grow in the most unlikely of places. The tale was whimsical and fantastical, but Gus was determined to make it a reality. He found a large, sturdy brick wall behind his shed, which had seen better days. The bricks were weathered and worn, and moss had begun to creep between the cracks. To Gus, this was the perfect spot for his experiment. He envisioned a potato growing from the wall, its roots spreading out and perhaps even producing a bountiful harvest of wall-grown tubers. Armed with a basket of potatoes and a sense of purpose, Gus set to work. Every day, he would hurl potatoes at the brick wall with enthusiastic abandon. He experimented with different throwing techniques-overhand, underhand, and even sidearm-to see if one method was more effective than another. The villagers would often pause in their daily routines to watch him from a distance, exchanging bemused glances and chuckles. Despite the onlookers' amusement, Gus remained undeterred. His neighbors, who had grown accustomed to his odd projects, eventually offered their support. Mrs. Barlow, the local baker, would bring him freshly baked bread to sustain his energy, while Mr. Perkins, the blacksmith, would cheer him on as he polished his tools. They all believed in Gus’s unshakeable spirit, if not his specific goal. Weeks turned into months, and Gus’s wall was now littered with bruised and battered potatoes, many of which had begun to sprout little shoots. To his surprise, one morning he noticed something extraordinary: a single green shoot had emerged from the mortar between two bricks. It was tiny and delicate, but unmistakably alive. Gus was overjoyed. He carefully tended to the shoot, nurturing it with water and patience. The villagers watched in awe as the little green sprout grew stronger and taller, its leaves unfurling with each passing day. It wasn’t exactly a potato plant growing directly out of the bricks, but it was something even better-a testament to Gus’s dedication and belief in the extraordinary. By the end of the season, the shoot had grown into a robust potato plant, with several small potatoes forming at its base. The wall potato experiment had yielded results, though not in the way Gus had originally imagined. Instead of a wall of potatoes, he had cultivated a symbol of perseverance and wonder. One crisp autumn afternoon, the villagers gathered around Gus’s wall to celebrate his success. They marveled at the unusual sight and enjoyed a hearty feast of freshly harvested potatoes. Gus, grinning from ear to ear, raised a toast to his friends and neighbors. “To the wall potato!” he proclaimed. “Proof that with enough belief and a little bit of whimsy, anything is possible.” And so, the legend of Gus Harlow and his wall potato spread far and wide. It became a beloved tale in the village, a reminder that even the most unconventional dreams can bear fruit if one only dares to throw a few potatoes at the wall.
"These new vehicles" you mean *this* new contraption. Don't lump it in with actual cars and trucks. You may not like them either, but this is a whole nother beast

@@Quinho1525A Legitimately that just helps my point. I know that all modern selectors aren’t physical links, and so it’s even more on the automotive-company to make either known systems that’s both are reliable both on a physical and muscle-memory standpoint, but also don’t run into unknown-issues such as a laggy screen, software updates, and are issue-prone and unknown to the degree they require a backup. It’s a simple thing that has legitimate consequences and causes for concern; just like climate control, I shouldn’t have to press a screen and look away from the road to change the direction of airflow and or change the temperature of my car. Yet automotive companies are pushing for it such as Tesla, because they don’t care about your safety (just as Tesla is actively not allowing the public to view cybertruck safety tests) they just care about making something look unique to cater to people such as the first commenter on this post, when it poses an actual risk to peoples lives. What’s next? Advocacy for companies to allow you through a subscription to access to safety features your car is already capable of, oh wait… That’s already a thing.
@@jbirdzz most of you idiots shouldn’t even be behind a wheel let alone in control of one. I’m against EVs but the whole car is electric, meaning it’s controlled by PLCs. gas vehicles are mechanical and need to be manually shifted this does not.

While I dont have a Cybertruck I have the new Model 3 which has a similar overhead drive selector (not a gear selector!) and also on screen. It is so simple to use and 9 times out of 10 it automatically selects the drive mode for you. Only old farts yearn for stalks and buttons etc.
Yeah, all the butthurt people in the comments seem to think there's still a manual transmission in there or something, or they'll be constantly selecting gears. It has 2 modes - go forwards and go backwards, you can get with a flick of a finger.
Not everything needs to be on a touch screen. I have an EV and I love having lots of stuff on the touch screen, but some things are just better tactile.
Bro I don’t want my car automatically selecting the gear for me ever. My 21 model 3 still has at least the gear and turning signal stalks. But it does insane stuff still on FSD beta and I don’t need it having more variables lol. I’m happy with my setup, but I’m glad if you happy with yours the taillights are nice 👍
@@JohnDoe-gn4xj You dont have to have it select for you, its just there if you want it. All you do is press down on brake and it shows you the decision it has made to either to go forward or back, depending on what it sees in front or behind it. You can accept it or just swipe on screen to overrule. Its a great system.
@OneHellOfASandwich nah. calling this kind of shifter a gimmick on an EV implies that it's not the most practical or reliable way to shift it, when in fact it is. The reason electronic shifters (dials, buttons) were considered a gimmick on gas vehicles is because it adds moving and electronic parts. Instead of the shifter having a direct, mechanical connection to the transmission, they changed gears electronically, which means more moving parts. But whether you know it or not, most shift knobs work this way. There's no actual connection, just microswitches. The reason buttons and screens like this makes the most sense on an EV is because they don't even have transmissions to begin with. You are changing the direction of the motor. Why add moving parts? Why even have mechanical buttons when you can use capacitive buttons that have zero chance of wearing out or getting gunked up and stuck?
@@jesusofbullets imagine going to adjust the mirror and your arm brushes over the stupidly placed gearshift and now you went from going down the highway at 60mph to flipping down the highway at 60mph. What if the electronics responsible for the gearshift get damaged instead of a physical component that is much more durable to stress?
@@calisong6554 But that’s even not possible because the software stops you. And no, things that can get mechanical wear will wear out a LOT more than electronics. Take it from a prior maintainer. Wires will last FAR longer than moving components that have to have regular lubrication. For example, your computer will run far longer than your car, because your computer does self diagnostics and repairs any faults it comes across in the software and because there are far fewer moving parts that require maintenance and lubrication. With mechanical, unless you have some kind of self maintaining car, then you’re SOL. You know what IS possible? Somebody trying to gearshift with a manual, making a mistake and breaking their car.
@@jesusofbullets You have never worked with tesla computers in your life. These things self diagnose as well as a raspberry pi without internet connection. They’re driving disasters

You can shift gears multiple ways, not just with the screen. While i acknowledge that current EVs lack the infrastructure and tech to really be worth it, to discourage the idea is misguided. Imagine if people gave up on the idea of cars after the first few models. They were terrible compared to horses. A lot of stuff you use today came from somebody taking an idea and making it better. Just because something isn't good now doesn't mean it can't be good. Not saying you have to like it, but just keep an open mind.
@Horible4 I agree that if it wasn't for the people of the past and their inventions, we wouldn't have the things we have today. But sometimes technology has no business making things worse for people. I wouldn't trust a car to drive itself, and I don't like the touchscreen tech. I mean, the amount of times we tap the wrong buttons on our phones, even if we touched the button we wanted. Technology has always been defective in some way. I wouldn't trust my life in a car like that for that reason.
@@Dondizle self-driving technology is a lot further along than you think. People make the videos of the bugs with the system but for the most part you don't see the system doing anything egregious like swerving into oncoming traffic. You can say you wouldn't trust it all you want but the reality is computers can plot and process way faster than you could ever hope to, and can see crashes coming before they happen and course corrects your vehicle to avoid collisions. The amount of human error it takes out of the equation makes sense when you consider how many aggressive drivers there are. Suddenly the one or two faults you see on the road with these vehicles is less of a concern when you consider humans are 20x more likely to make a mistake than a self driving car. When you see it in action, it's impressive and feats of engineering. There are downsides to it, obviously and there should be laws regulating how it's used but to say it's worse for people and has no business being in cars is questionable at best. There's issues with efficiency sure but self-driving is hardly a flaw and will always be more precise and careful than you will.
@Horible4 Personally, I'm all for evs. I commute by cycling myself so I'm all for sustainable forms of transport. My issue is, you already had things going in the right direction with the old prius. Environmentally friendly and reliable. This truck has a touch sensitive "gear selecter" in the most awkward place as a back up for a screen "gear selecter". It doesn't even trust its own tech to stay working. Then he shows all the other stuff and im just thinking, "if that screen doesnt work, how will i know that the rest of it would" This seems more like a gamers fantasy than a drivers/activist fantasy.
There's software that prevents the car from doing this. Meanwhile there is nothing stopping me from accidentally shifting to 3rd gear when I mean to go to 5th.
@DrKoneko And what happens when the shitty software fails? Anyone with even 10 minuites of electronic use knows software is much, MUCH more liable to fail than mechanical things
@@Lakita2880 that's literally just not true. Mechanical things have moving parts. If your transmission breaks you have to replace it. If your computer breaks you update the software or reinstall it. Plus software like that is very unlikely to fail because it's not really how that works. Plus all that would happen is your car would slow down at the same rate as with full Regen braking and then reverse because that's a feature on Tesla's below 5 mph.
@@DrKoneko Spoken like someone who truly has no fucking idea what they're talking about lmao Electronics fail on me all the time. Between crashes, disconnects and everything in-between. You know what has never died on me? Any mechnical part in my car. Ease of repair has nothing to do with the likely hood of failure. And mechnical things having moving parts is exactly why they're built to last. If you're going to argue against me actually try please.
@@Lakita2880 less moving parts = less failure points. I drive a Tesla model 3 and while sometimes it may have bugs (which don't get me wrong is an issue) I have never been in a situation where it wouldn't let me drive properly. My convertible car however gives me all kinds of issues because it has so many moving parts. I've had to replace the alternator, fix a misfire, and replace a fuel line. My dad's Tesla has required no maintenance whatsoever. In fact the only parts I have known to fail on a Tesla are the motorized door handles of the model s and the power doors of the model X. I have never ever heard of a Tesla that wouldn't drive as long as it has power. And just because my experience has been perfect doesn't mean everyones is, same with your car which has never died on you. I've had a ford escape that needed a transmission replaced. I had a Nissan Murano that needed a drive shaft replaced. I had a f150 that needed a new piston ring. I have a mustang right now that probably needs an entire rebuild. Moving parts introduce so many weak points that are prone to failure. An EV has a motor that is connected directly to the wheels meaning the thing that fails is the motor. Mechanical parts are built to last but that doesn't mean they're invincible and if you're claiming they are than you're obviously just turning a blind eye to the facts.
You know what I love about my Cybertuck. I need to explain to people how to use the gears! Because in the 21st century, gear selection shouldn't be intuitive, it should be janky and difficult!
In the old days, engineers would design cars so that a blindfolded person could be put in the drivers seat and find all the major controls by touch alone.
@@Crosshair84Yes, but in the old days people would also understand the vehicle and had more control with manual. Nowadays, people only know how to drive automatic and expect everything to happen magically, hence why tactile buttons are disappearing.

"Back" for park and "forward" for drive is literally the exact opposite of every gear shift ever.
True but you’re tapping a picture of a car so swiping back to go forward wouldn’t make sense. What would make sense is a physical gear shift like every other vehicle in existence.

The touchscreen gear shift is a disaster. Bring back tactile buttons for easier and safer car control.
Or hear me out a stick that u can grip and push forwards ot backwards for better control
@@TospikKingno wayyy dude you gotta stop you sound like a madman 😱😱😱‼️‼️
For REAL, the idea of all these new cars using fucking touch screens is insane to me. Tactile buttons are sooo much safer, I don't use my AUX port in my car and use a blutooth radio tuner for my music because it has tactile buttons for skipping songs and it feels better to be able to do it without looking rather than using my phone directly and having to guess at it.
I'm confused at the level of control these comments think an automatic (that technically only has 1 gear) needs. Are you guys shifting to neutral while weaving between cars?
Why? It’s an automatic, so you’re not going to be shifting gears in the middle of driving, and I guarantee you it won’t let you shift gears while moving.

"I use the screen to change gears" is the most dystopian phrase I've ever heard.
Well you can use the screen or the button obviously but one thing that people need to realize is that there is no gears there is no transmission this is all motor controller software controlled drivetrain, basically there is no drivetrain it's just a wheel hooked up to a motor
See, it’s funny because you don’t change gears. You change the direction the motor spins electronically. So a physical gear shifter would be putting a limit switch on a stick, at which point just use a fkn screen anyway.

We can argue about who’s wrong all day but neither of us are. We just have contradicting opinions.
@@lynxrbeam8732 no, I agree with you, I’m not ridiculing anyone’s personal preferences, but the fact that so many car manufacturers thought that getting rid of all buttons and adding all of their functionality inside a screen was super annoying, that’s when people that don’t like this design started to push back. Nothing against anyone who likes Tesla and the no button design, but I’m agains this trend of “let’s make every car like this” and if we don’t voice our dislike, then manufacturers will just keep thinking “guess everybody likes having no buttons at all”, so it’s also important for us to express this
The fact that they planned for the touchscreen not to work, is the single statement that summarizes this car the most

Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled between rolling hills and ancient forests, there lived a man named Gus Harlow. Gus was a peculiar sort of fellow, known throughout the village for his eccentric ideas and unyielding optimism. He had an old, worn-out garden shed where he spent most of his days tinkering with curious inventions and whimsical experiments. His latest project, however, was rather unusual even by his standards: he aimed to grow a wall potato.
The idea had come to him during one of his late-night reading sessions. Gus had been poring over old folklore about magical plants and mythical gardens when he stumbled upon a story about a magical potato that could grow in the most unlikely of places. The tale was whimsical and fantastical, but Gus was determined to make it a reality.
He found a large, sturdy brick wall behind his shed, which had seen better days. The bricks were weathered and worn, and moss had begun to creep between the cracks. To Gus, this was the perfect spot for his experiment. He envisioned a potato growing from the wall, its roots spreading out and perhaps even producing a bountiful harvest of wall-grown tubers.
Armed with a basket of potatoes and a sense of purpose, Gus set to work. Every day, he would hurl potatoes at the brick wall with enthusiastic abandon. He experimented with different throwing techniques-overhand, underhand, and even sidearm-to see if one method was more effective than another. The villagers would often pause in their daily routines to watch him from a distance, exchanging bemused glances and chuckles.
Despite the onlookers' amusement, Gus remained undeterred. His neighbors, who had grown accustomed to his odd projects, eventually offered their support. Mrs. Barlow, the local baker, would bring him freshly baked bread to sustain his energy, while Mr. Perkins, the blacksmith, would cheer him on as he polished his tools. They all believed in Gus’s unshakeable spirit, if not his specific goal.
Weeks turned into months, and Gus’s wall was now littered with bruised and battered potatoes, many of which had begun to sprout little shoots. To his surprise, one morning he noticed something extraordinary: a single green shoot had emerged from the mortar between two bricks. It was tiny and delicate, but unmistakably alive.
Gus was overjoyed. He carefully tended to the shoot, nurturing it with water and patience. The villagers watched in awe as the little green sprout grew stronger and taller, its leaves unfurling with each passing day. It wasn’t exactly a potato plant growing directly out of the bricks, but it was something even better-a testament to Gus’s dedication and belief in the extraordinary.
By the end of the season, the shoot had grown into a robust potato plant, with several small potatoes forming at its base. The wall potato experiment had yielded results, though not in the way Gus had originally imagined. Instead of a wall of potatoes, he had cultivated a symbol of perseverance and wonder.
One crisp autumn afternoon, the villagers gathered around Gus’s wall to celebrate his success. They marveled at the unusual sight and enjoyed a hearty feast of freshly harvested potatoes. Gus, grinning from ear to ear, raised a toast to his friends and neighbors. “To the wall potato!” he proclaimed. “Proof that with enough belief and a little bit of whimsy, anything is possible.”
And so, the legend of Gus Harlow and his wall potato spread far and wide. It became a beloved tale in the village, a reminder that even the most unconventional dreams can bear fruit if one only dares to throw a few potatoes at the wall.

@@Quinho1525A Legitimately that just helps my point.
I know that all modern selectors aren’t physical links, and so it’s even more on the automotive-company to make either known systems that’s both are reliable both on a physical and muscle-memory standpoint, but also don’t run into unknown-issues such as a laggy screen, software updates, and are issue-prone and unknown to the degree they require a backup. It’s a simple thing that has legitimate consequences and causes for concern; just like climate control, I shouldn’t have to press a screen and look away from the road to change the direction of airflow and or change the temperature of my car. Yet automotive companies are pushing for it such as Tesla, because they don’t care about your safety (just as Tesla is actively not allowing the public to view cybertruck safety tests) they just care about making something look unique to cater to people such as the first commenter on this post, when it poses an actual risk to peoples lives.

How is the cybertruck is better than the Tesla?
While I dont have a Cybertruck I have the new Model 3 which has a similar overhead drive selector (not a gear selector!) and also on screen. It is so simple to use and 9 times out of 10 it automatically selects the drive mode for you. Only old farts yearn for stalks and buttons etc.
Yeah, all the butthurt people in the comments seem to think there's still a manual transmission in there or something, or they'll be constantly selecting gears. It has 2 modes - go forwards and go backwards, you can get with a flick of a finger.
Not everything needs to be on a touch screen. I have an EV and I love having lots of stuff on the touch screen, but some things are just better tactile.
Bro I don’t want my car automatically selecting the gear for me ever. My 21 model 3 still has at least the gear and turning signal stalks. But it does insane stuff still on FSD beta and I don’t need it having more variables lol. I’m happy with my setup, but I’m glad if you happy with yours the taillights are nice 👍
@@JohnDoe-gn4xj You dont have to have it select for you, its just there if you want it. All you do is press down on brake and it shows you the decision it has made to either to go forward or back, depending on what it sees in front or behind it. You can accept it or just swipe on screen to overrule. Its a great system.
Absolutely wild. Does it ride smooth or bumpy?
This “truck” is literally every single car gimmick rolled into one
Agreed
Nah
@@GOREilla. elaborate
@OneHellOfASandwich nah. calling this kind of shifter a gimmick on an EV implies that it's not the most practical or reliable way to shift it, when in fact it is. The reason electronic shifters (dials, buttons) were considered a gimmick on gas vehicles is because it adds moving and electronic parts. Instead of the shifter having a direct, mechanical connection to the transmission, they changed gears electronically, which means more moving parts. But whether you know it or not, most shift knobs work this way. There's no actual connection, just microswitches. The reason buttons and screens like this makes the most sense on an EV is because they don't even have transmissions to begin with. You are changing the direction of the motor. Why add moving parts? Why even have mechanical buttons when you can use capacitive buttons that have zero chance of wearing out or getting gunked up and stuck?
Having a sliding gear selector on the screen feels so illegal
The easter egg got me
That’s cool
How often does the screen not work?
Drivers should not have to compensate for a flawed design.
And how is it flawed? Are you changing gears mid drive in your automatic?
@@jesusofbullets imagine going to adjust the mirror and your arm brushes over the stupidly placed gearshift and now you went from going down the highway at 60mph to flipping down the highway at 60mph.

@@calisong6554
But that’s even not possible because the software stops you. And no, things that can get mechanical wear will wear out a LOT more than electronics. Take it from a prior maintainer. Wires will last FAR longer than moving components that have to have regular lubrication. For example, your computer will run far longer than your car, because your computer does self diagnostics and repairs any faults it comes across in the software and because there are far fewer moving parts that require maintenance and lubrication. With mechanical, unless you have some kind of self maintaining car, then you’re SOL. You know what IS possible? Somebody trying to gearshift with a manual, making a mistake and breaking their car.

But INNOVATION
You can shift gears multiple ways, not just with the screen. While i acknowledge that current EVs lack the infrastructure and tech to really be worth it, to discourage the idea is misguided.
Imagine if people gave up on the idea of cars after the first few models. They were terrible compared to horses. A lot of stuff you use today came from somebody taking an idea and making it better.
Just because something isn't good now doesn't mean it can't be good. Not saying you have to like it, but just keep an open mind.
@Horible4
I agree that if it wasn't for the people of the past and their inventions, we wouldn't have the things we have today.
But sometimes technology has no business making things worse for people. I wouldn't trust a car to drive itself, and I don't like the touchscreen tech. I mean, the amount of times we tap the wrong buttons on our phones, even if we touched the button we wanted.
Technology has always been defective in some way. I wouldn't trust my life in a car like that for that reason.
@@Dondizle self-driving technology is a lot further along than you think. People make the videos of the bugs with the system but for the most part you don't see the system doing anything egregious like swerving into oncoming traffic.
You can say you wouldn't trust it all you want but the reality is computers can plot and process way faster than you could ever hope to, and can see crashes coming before they happen and course corrects your vehicle to avoid collisions. The amount of human error it takes out of the equation makes sense when you consider how many aggressive drivers there are. Suddenly the one or two faults you see on the road with these vehicles is less of a concern when you consider humans are 20x more likely to make a mistake than a self driving car.
When you see it in action, it's impressive and feats of engineering. There are downsides to it, obviously and there should be laws regulating how it's used but to say it's worse for people and has no business being in cars is questionable at best. There's issues with efficiency sure but self-driving is hardly a flaw and will always be more precise and careful than you will.
@Horible4 Personally, I'm all for evs. I commute by cycling myself so I'm all for sustainable forms of transport. My issue is, you already had things going in the right direction with the old prius. Environmentally friendly and reliable. This truck has a touch sensitive "gear selecter" in the most awkward place as a back up for a screen "gear selecter". It doesn't even trust its own tech to stay working. Then he shows all the other stuff and im just thinking, "if that screen doesnt work, how will i know that the rest of it would" This seems more like a gamers fantasy than a drivers/activist fantasy.

There's software that prevents the car from doing this. Meanwhile there is nothing stopping me from accidentally shifting to 3rd gear when I mean to go to 5th.
@DrKoneko And what happens when the shitty software fails? Anyone with even 10 minuites of electronic use knows software is much, MUCH more liable to fail than mechanical things
@@Lakita2880 that's literally just not true. Mechanical things have moving parts. If your transmission breaks you have to replace it. If your computer breaks you update the software or reinstall it. Plus software like that is very unlikely to fail because it's not really how that works. Plus all that would happen is your car would slow down at the same rate as with full Regen braking and then reverse because that's a feature on Tesla's below 5 mph.
@@DrKoneko Spoken like someone who truly has no fucking idea what they're talking about lmao
Electronics fail on me all the time. Between crashes, disconnects and everything in-between. You know what has never died on me? Any mechnical part in my car.
Ease of repair has nothing to do with the likely hood of failure. And mechnical things having moving parts is exactly why they're built to last. If you're going to argue against me actually try please.
@@Lakita2880 less moving parts = less failure points. I drive a Tesla model 3 and while sometimes it may have bugs (which don't get me wrong is an issue) I have never been in a situation where it wouldn't let me drive properly. My convertible car however gives me all kinds of issues because it has so many moving parts. I've had to replace the alternator, fix a misfire, and replace a fuel line. My dad's Tesla has required no maintenance whatsoever. In fact the only parts I have known to fail on a Tesla are the motorized door handles of the model s and the power doors of the model X. I have never ever heard of a Tesla that wouldn't drive as long as it has power. And just because my experience has been perfect doesn't mean everyones is, same with your car which has never died on you. I've had a ford escape that needed a transmission replaced. I had a Nissan Murano that needed a drive shaft replaced. I had a f150 that needed a new piston ring. I have a mustang right now that probably needs an entire rebuild. Moving parts introduce so many weak points that are prone to failure. An EV has a motor that is connected directly to the wheels meaning the thing that fails is the motor. Mechanical parts are built to last but that doesn't mean they're invincible and if you're claiming they are than you're obviously just turning a blind eye to the facts.
You know what I love about my Cybertuck. I need to explain to people how to use the gears! Because in the 21st century, gear selection shouldn't be intuitive, it should be janky and difficult!
