This just in: old man yells at high tech car
He’s clearly never driven a modern vehicle, as half his complaints are safety features that are common on anything past 2015, the rest is the unwillingness to RTFM.
I will agree on one thing though. The lack of a screen in front of you does get annoying.
Manufacturer’s obsession with replacing physical knobs and switches with onscreen controls needs to die. Yes it’s cheaper for them, but not good for driving safety.
Similarly the insistence on sucking data from your phone.
Yeah, I really hope some laws come out requiring basic functionality to be enabled through a physical knob or button press.
I had my model 3 performance for 10 month now I love it and already have 15k miles already. Never experienced what the author was complaining about.
Wife needs a new car and we can’t find another car that makes more sense than another Tesla
60k for a 250 range Hyundai? 220 range for a Volvo? I’ll gladly buy another brand but let me know a 300+ mile range SUV under 50k.
Worst thing about owning a Tesla is the auto wipers and reading stupid articles like this
You aren’t getting 300 miles out of your 300 mile rated Tesla, that’s the trick. And just wait till you have a need for service, because you’re SOL.

What a fucking moron. Teslas are different, that’s true. But if you’re able to use a smartphone you’re able to use a Tesla. Takes a few minutes to familiarise yourself with it and a few hours of driving to really get into the und and outs. Just like with any other car.
With all the ICE cars I’ve ever had there were functions I could never use because they required memorising some obscure combination of buttons. On a Tesla, everything is just there. Sometimes you need to poke around on the screen for a bit, but at least you find everything.
