Do I get any kind of points for thinking Tesla sucked before all the political windshift relating to Musk?

I've said from jumpstreet that, at best, Tesla is like the Apple of the car world:

  • Model releases considered "cool" for the first year or so, because it's a way to flex on the plebs.

  • Pretty soon everybody and their mom has one and the design isn't very remarkable in and of itself. Therefore the iPhone becomes the basic bitch phone, and the Tesla becomes the basic bitch vehicle.

  • Overpriced relative to similar performing products.

  • Horribly invasive sensors, bad data privacy, and generalized ecosystem.

I would say its worse than Apple in those regards. At least Apple's hardware, though way overpriced, is decently made. I don't think anyone in the world ever said that about Tesla.

I was mostly talking about build quality. It doesn't just fall apart when you touch/use it like intended. About overheating, I wouldn't have a clue. I would never buy or use an Apple device if i can help it
