Nic McConnell @NicMcC83:

this is the most devastating review of anything i've ever seen

Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:

Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

Admittedly a scathing burn, but in my experience not at all the same. I have had so many printers with connection issues, overpriced ink that dries up, and constant mechanical jams that I’ve sworn off ever owning a printer again and made my department paperless. But all I had to do for my Tesla is connect it to wifi, and every few weeks a no-hassle software update delivers some useful new features. I’ve never met a printer that improved with time.

I don't understand the Tesla hate. I think people have read bad headlines and assumed they were true. I've had mine for 2.5 years and still haven't even had to do more than put in washer fluid and charge at home. I would hate having to go back to oil changes and gas stations.

I hate Teslas because the owner is the company is a Nazi. I also think having a giant phone in the middle of the car is a bad idea, but it's mostly the Nazi thing.

I don’t think it’s fair to outweigh the contributions of the founders and engineers behind Tesla with one douche with a megaphone and too much money. There is undoubtedly just as much malice in other car companies, but they have the sense to keep it quiet.

The money spent to buy Teslas will go to the workers at a fair rate when the workers unionise. Until then, you're pretty much just paying Musk. You're not paying the workers.
