  • No, BYD will and is spending that money on advertising.

    Tesla is still king in a lot of ways, but let’s even take any of the Korean brands, they wipe the floor with BYD when it comes to tech, range and quality.

    BYD doesn’t even have 1 pedal driving. You and many here might not be experienced with EVs, but that’s a cardinal sin.

    Yet you see any media on BYD, and not a peep about it? Curious is it not? Replace the name with xiaomi, as there’s always one cuck in these comments promoting them. Handles so bad, they’re making China ban flush handles. THAT’S how bad it is, they’re also prone to overheating even on their ultra models and catching fire at a scale, it’s making news. But hey, you go onto any comment section and you hear nothing about it but whole lot of anti Tesla slander.

    Lucid and Rivian are the only ones chasing after Tesla tech and they’re still a decade behind looking at the recent lucid model.

    Tesla gets a lot of political hate, but we shouldn’t dismiss the technological advances they made so every other brand gets to ride it out on their ancient shit (VW group).

    I want a car like my 21 plate model 3, I don’t give a fuck if it’s European or American or Asian, as long as it’s not shady and not Chinese propaganda. My search continues, nothing comes close to convienience of Tesla and 91k miles in, I’ll continue running it till the wheels fall off.





  • So your response to “I don’t care about taxi that’s not going to be available to me” is to bring a truck to the discussion?..

    Then you ramble on preferences and bring cruise control into this like every other car doesn’t have those and the screen being worse in 90% of the competition doesn’t exist, but that makes tesla bad?

    Give me a fucking break, like I said, you’re rewriting reality. Go to Ford, I’m sure the screen being so far down at thigh level makes it so much safer! Or porche with their haptic screen? Or maybe let’s look at MG with everything behind hidden behind 4 menus? Oh while we’re at it! How come every car is now advertised as “its quick to turn off lane assist! Just takes few taps or dedicated button!” How about they make the lane assist actually work and not piss off the driver?

    There were several cars I went to test drive where they turn it off before I got into the car.

    But hey, Tesla has so many flaws! Not like they’re the most efficient and don’t need to have 30% bigger battery… No no no, that’s fine, we’ll ignore it, right? Because let me check notes… Ah yes, glove box is opened through screen. Pack it up boys, Tesla is done for. This guy came in and vaguely pointed irrelevant things to win the argument about personal cars.




  • VW cars are just so fucking behind it is laughable.

    And you know what? So is Polestar/Volvo.

    Don’t buy Chinese. Byd doesn’t even have 1 pedal driving.

    While Tesla is still by far the most advanced tech car, you need £10 subscription to their network to get full use of their app. The likes of Korean manufacturers are really closing in the gap.

    Porche is very unfortunate, Taycan is genuinely a lovely car, my best driving experience in EV… But they’re flawed in one crucial way… Thief magnets! Be it your lights or the car itself, not only are they prone for very low skill attacks, insurance is insane on them because of it.

    Merc and BMW I think are just overpriced. While they’re not bad, they’re poor value for money.

    I got no experience with Lucid or Rivian, but having chatted with genuine owners and watching reviews, they seem to be gunning for tesla at much higher price without delivering. Lucid software is plagued with bugs to this day.

    Happy to answer any questions about EVs, it’s genuinely a fascinating scene and I’m lucky enough to be in dealership heaven, if a car manufacturer exists in the UK, I have a dealership 10 min away from me. I would suggest people to just go out and test drive! An hour or two of driving brand new car and having sales people kiss your ass, many got some good coffee.

    Porche by far was the best “buying” experience. I was told to bring it back whenever as long as it’s back before closing. Only manufacturer to do it. Tesla offered overnight test drive which is also neat.

    So fuck the youn g generation even harder? You think what? The old which will continue to outnumber them, won’t fuck over the younger generation because they can’t outvote them?

    If the “cycle” breaks, the young get turbo fucked. Either you somehow offload the old dependables or you meet the demand. No one in their right mind wants to cull the elderly.
