Went on business travel to CA this month and decided to try driving a Tesla to see what it was like. Big mistake… coming home to my civic is painful. Coworkers told me a lot of my gripes like lack of buttons wear off after a month or so. I was already all in on electric for when my car eventually died but god, idk how long I will be able to stay ICE. Anyone else have similar experiences on test drives?
You can get a bev and buttons! (and a cluster gauge and actual qc)
Toyota and BMW are fine examples. While some here love to hate Toyota because of a few vehicles being recalled in Texas, the bz4x has a ten year / one million km warranty in Europe. The battery is also serviceable. If the entire battery pack needs replacement on the warranty, the owner gets a completely new battery pack and not a reman.
Cars that can’t do anything without an iPad in the center is a fad that will die eventually, like the extremely low-profile tires everyone had in 2008.
What do you mean had? They still do.
Not like in 2008. Even boring new cars like the Prius had tires that looked like gaffs tape wrapped around an alloy wheel back then.
Why get a blackberry when you can get an iPhone?
Tesla is the blackberry in this case. Go for BMW or Mercedes if you want the iPhone.
BMW and Mercedes have buttons too.
Hmm a new company that takes an existing technology, smart phones, and makes the first mass adopted commercially successful version, only to ultimately be crushed by an older large corporation.
The blackberry car may not be the one you are thinking of.
Sir, I’m talking about buttons.
Which are superior to touchscreens, obvs.
Love my egolf, wish they still made it! The analog dials are sweet
