Topic: I will never buy a Tesla car - page 4. (Read 895 times)

I'm just waiting for the OP or anyone else to outline what exactly mechanical or otherwise is actually wrong with Telsla's Electric cars?  (funny that everyone's talk of the owner of the company is probably off-topic, but I digress)

Are the brakes faulty?  Not enough miles to the kilowatt?  The seats aren't comfy?  The radio has too much squelch?  Come on @countryfree, tell us what's wrong with the car??

It's not unlikely to have this sort of feeling about someone or a company that has resulted in some loss of profit in your trades or what your passionate and enthusiastic about. Its common and normal but, it doesn't mean much. Its a personal decision and not many would buy into that idea. Owning a Tesla if you can is actually being in line with the new world on renewable energy sources and creating an environmental more friendly source. Its the way the world is turning and your going to want to appreciate it some day. I ain't that cool with Musk  for being a reason to bitcoin's fall and relatively altcoins as well but, we must admit that he pointed out a fault and as such, we could build on that.

It's surprising that people talk about the cars, but that's not my point. It doesn't matter that the cars are good or bad. My point is that Elon Musk has a big mouth, and that he uses it to play havoc with BTC. Some day he says he supports BTC, that he's a big fan, and merely a few weeks later, he says BTC is dangerous to the planet... As an old BTC investor, I can't accept this. Maybe Musk is rich enough not to care about BTC's price, but I do.

Tesla already has batteries that are installed next to houses to capture energy from solar panels in the day for use at night.  Similarly, Tesla is building capacitors to store off peak energy from power stations to feed into the market in high demand, so EM is probably looking now to tap into solar arrays plus batteries to power bitcoin mining rigs to rival other mining farms powered by hydro or coal that are set up around the world.

You will receive no argument from me.  

People can say Teslas are powered by dirty energy.  I get that.  People can say Elon is a troll.  I get that.  People can say they don't like that Tesla has a monopoly on electric cars and want to buy elsewhere, or maybe they even have brand loyalty and want to purchase an electric Ford.  Who knows?  All I do know, is that you currently can not find a better electric car for retail purchase by a major manufacturer that is better than a Tesla.  I can use the word "better" broadly here because Tesla is so far ahead in every way that there is no need to go into any more detail.

I wuld never buy Tesla car never, cause they are not good. They have poor quality, you can find a lot of videos of this car failure in youtube, for example video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ1tofzX6Bk

How may people die each year in this shitty car cause of company issues with car? And now, when he does this with a crypt, I would never buy a single product from of Musk

His electro shis car make more polutions than any ICE car. If your think electric energy for BTC is not clean, and than of course is not clean also for his shity car. What wuld happen with battery for car after batterys life? probably nothing, and that battery creates pollution when it is produced, when you consume it, and when it dies, the battery will produce pollution

And one picture for Musk

Well, who'd be dumb enough to watch TV while driving 200 mph down a dirt road?

True, this reminds me of the lamborghini statement regarding their advertisements, which states that they don't do television ads as their target customers are those people who doesn't watch shows in the television.

this is all nonsense. I don't think a few Bitcoiners can make some damages to Elon and Tesla because will not buy his car. Personally, I have never even considered such a possibility, however, I have more confidence in a manufacturer that has been in the industry for a long time.

btw. Now we have speculation that China's ban Bitcoin & cryptocurrencies, and this caused a new downtrend. Does that mean you won’t buy anything made in China?
I mean, we must have the same standards for all. Right?

You and I then won't be able to buy tesla cars because they are already too expensive. The flagship 2020 Model S sedan is priced around 70,000$ and other models cost much more. Only the rich person can afford these branded cars. Even if Elon Musk haven't tweeted, i would still not have bought tesla.

I won't buy Tesla for Bitcoin ever

Can exchange some worthless Dogecoin for it 

I'll never buy any type of car I'm too poor.  But at least there is always room for me on the bus.  Or the train.  Or the plane. 

I've remember a post by a twitter guy too but can't remember the exact name. He said that he's about to buy a Tesla car but instead of buying it, he bought the BTC dip.
 

What's even goin to happen lmao.

And Tesla is not for the "STATUS" it is for the convenience, the practicality, and modernity of the product.

You'll probably find that Tesla's owner was probably hoping to tap into the perceived cashed up market of the crypto investor by massaging their egos (and pushing up the price of Bitcoin and DOGE in the process....)

But when the sales didn't happen Tesla's owner turned on the crypto community lashing out with more ranting, rambling and borderline psychosis...

Like that's going to happen, people are going to be buying Tesla for the status you know and I don't think that even if all the people in this forum were to boycott Tesla, we will still be outnumbered by a large margin of people that wants to buy one.

I'm stupid enough, I guess.

Chevy, Nissan and Hyundi all have less expensive electric vehicles than the Tesla model 3 and the tesla Cybertruck hasn't even started production yet.  It could end up being very successful and the best option if you're looking for a $80k Pickup Truck, or it could end up being flop.  It's impossible to know at this point.  

There are also a bunch of high end EVs in the 75k-150k range taking pre orders now for late 2021/2022: Jaguar, Mercedes, Audi, Porche...it will be interesting to see how things play out.  

Ouch, touched a nerve, didn't it? It sounds like you're the one with emotions towards Tesla.

There are vehicles other than "fully loaded" ones, there are vehicles other than EVs, there are vehicles other than pickup trucks, and not everyone is a wannabe gangster needing a bulletproof one.

Anyone stupid enough to think there are better and/or less expensive vehicles than a Tesla or thinks other vehicles can do what theirs can, you are vastly uninformed, ignorant, and probably the type of person who is extremely jealous of others...

• Fully loaded Tesla Cybertruck: $80,000
• Fully loaded Rivian R1T: $98,000
• Fully loaded Ford F-150 Lightning: $90,500
• Fully loaded Hummer EV: $112,600

Guess which car is the fastest, has the longest range, is bulletproof, has the largest charging network, can drive itself, is the cheapest and has the best interface?  Ya, not even a comparison.  You'd have to be an absolute moron to think there are cheaper/better vehicles out there.  Not only is that a blatant lie based on jealously and ignorance, no other car can even do what Tesla's Cybertruck can, so in reality there isn't even competition for it.  Nothing compares.  Add in bulletproofing for those other vehicles, additional batteries to match Tesla's range, additional motors to match it's speed, the cost of building out a better charging network, and these cars would easily be 2 or 3 times the price of the Cybertruck...

You guys can buy your vehicles based on your emotions and spread lies about others if you want.  God help you if your car runs into mine though...  Your emotions and fiberglass body might tell a different story about what is "better" when it meets a several thousand pound block of cold rolled steel.

EDIT: When you get into the non-fully loaded options, Tesla shines even more by absolutely destroying the competition on price as well as the other metrics listed.  I was being generous using the fully loaded models...  Imagine what kind of a snowflake pansy you'd have to be to not want a bulletproof truck or think of it as a bad thing.  LOL.  As for the cars, obviously they're so far ahead of what else is available that it isn't even worth making the comparison to other electrics and if you're still buying combustion engine powered vehicles then I've got an old tube television to sell you that you're gonna love.

I don't think Tesla or Musk will notice your absence. I mean - you can definitely vote with your wallet if you feel strongly about it but it won't change anything.

OTOH there are better and/or less expensive vehicles anyway... Tesla is the iPhone of cars. If you really need a car that does car things and not for showing off, it's very unlikely that you would pick a Tesla.
