I hate the exterior. The interior has no rivals though. Nothing I've driven comes close to how the iX interior feels. But fuck that exterior is like dating integra girl

If they were more social/less old school they’d be in a rivian

So the opposite of high tool to open a lock?

Shouldn't stealth wealth be in a bz4x or rz? Speaking of that I haven't noticed the lesbian version of them on the road for a while. :pokerface::lawl:

You have to beat ugly with ugly, you now don't notice the beaver teeth as much

Stealth wealth imo is in Model S - basically the California Lexus ES.

Solterra sells so bad that they have 9k manufacturer incentive in Canada; this has to be the only EV that charges slower than Model 3/Y these days.

Honda somehow sells 20-30k Prologue a year; it kinda sucks but still charges faster than Model Y.

JDMDreams 12-13-2024 10:43 AM

I've only briefly sat in a face lift s, is it that much better? For the price wouldn't you want x for more room and practicality? I've driven the x and it's not bad. Also for the price of the s wouldn't you want lucid? I wonder if you can test drive cyber trucks yet?

AstulzerRZD 12-13-2024 10:45 AM

I think S is just kinda the default cuz it was the hot car in the late 2010s. Defs some switching to Lucid but sales volume is still so low.

Thing is Silicon Valley needs to look humble but smart/dedicated to work.
Smoking, religion, and having kids is neither of these.
X makes it look like you got kids.
Lucid? no way you drive one if you're not a VC or have had multiple exits.

Yes, I can test drive a cybertruck in 15 minutes if I want.

I'm curious how is that possible. I thought Telsa was 1st in the game and perfected their tech, how can a lowly brand like Stellantis have them beat?

Tesla was first in game but a whacky boss with crazy ideas only gets u so far. Even Waymo beat them to robotaxi.

Tesla still has the best integration of everything and overall experience is really easy but most EV charge at least 100% faster now.

1) they tried to do 4680 cell shape but those don’t leave room for cooling/heating
4680 Model Y charge super slow (70kw avg)
4680 Cybertruck even in 5C, the cold battery light never turn off

2) they tried LFP chemistry but those again charge slow af

3) all except Cybertruck are 400V, so they generate a lot of heat and again charge slow. Porsche/Hyundai/Lucid that average 200kw+ are all 800V.

4) thermal profile modelling I think needs work. Tesla starts cutting charge rate at 15-20%. Taycan, Ioniq, Silverado pull max charge rate till 60% (250-350kw). Means u can plug in at any % and charge quick.

These days Tesla is a piggy bank to pay off Twitter debt; innovation is gonna be done by other companies

Nah I don’t like them, I’m just cheap and fascinated by new shiny things

Put me back in s2000 / mini / challenge car for something I love

Meh anyone who buys first year production cars (especially tesla) are just asking for it. You’re basically a glorified beta tester.

So dude was driving with his windshield fogged and relying on fsd to not hit another car or go into a ditch wow

Badhobz 12-14-2024 05:52 PM

I like how this retard keeps driving instead of calling Tesla, grabbing a rental and letting them deal with all this shit.

I guess if you’re stupid enough to buy a cybertruck first year, you’re stupid enough to keep driving when you can’t see and are freezing to death.

Mikoyan 12-14-2024 09:26 PM

Isn't the cyber truck only using cameras for FSD? No lidar etc? If the front facing cameras are inside the fogged up windows, he was definitely trying to speed run a Darwin Award.
