Unpopular opinion: I hate Elon Musk and basically never thought I'd consider buying a tesla. But to be fair, I did quite some research and a couple of test drives with various cars and overall the model 3 is the best deal for my requirements. Especicially, it seems to be the most energy efficient car in that size and cost range. You can drive a model 3 with around 15 kWh / 100 km even in winter on the highway where competitors range around 18-22.

Regarding the two buttons for the turn signals: yes I'd probably prefer the old-fashioned approach with a lever but the two buttons are definitely not as bad as claimed in all the articles. I got used to it pretty quickly during the test drive and also in roundabouts it is practicable even thought not the most ideal approach.

I drove an older model (I think) Tesla for the first time recently and that signal was dumb as hell. I can only imagine what fuckery's been added since.

Sorry if I seem normie and not Tesla-pilled…but why is someone’s Steam library on the dashboard of the thumbnail? We’re just…catching up on our backlog in the Tesla now?
