    It’s sad because all-electric cars should be the easiest and cheapest to maintain. Tesla has dug a grave for themselves with so much unnecessary bullshit that they’re now the least reliable.

    It’s obvious what the problem is: Musk. Before he bought the company it was on a great trajectory. His influence has slowly eroded away its engineering prowess.

      nah.

      Peter Rawlinson, who designed the Model S, went on to design the Lucid Air. That car has all the bullshit software and gadget fails of Tesla.

      EVs need a Beetle or Civic moment. Simple, reliable cars, not rolling Best Buys heavily dependent on sensors and computers and screens.
