Here is what I find about Tesla haters...

They want to believe that what they have grown used to (ICE cars/legacy automakers in general) are the way to go. This new player, (Tesla) who came in to disrupt the market, got nothing.

As they see Tesla doing better and better, they need to continue to find arguments to convince themselves psychologically that what they believe is right.

Worse, when they are faced with others commenting about what Tesla is doing right, the first thing they do is to find some articles, regardless the credibility of the source and/or validity/existence of data, in an attempt to make others to gaslight about Tesla.

The truth is, most of them never sat inside a Tesla for a sec. And even if they do, they are so blindly focusing on things like panel gaps, lack of buttons... etc etc... instead of actually enjoying what this newcomer has to offer. Because no car/brand is perfect.

I like Tesla because dollar for dollar, I'd say it's impossible to find a car from another manufacturer that I enjoy as much. Not only that... they are constantly improving.

If you look at a Model 3 from 2018/19 vs one from 2023, it's vastly better.

My bro took delivery of his Model Y Performance earlier this year, and it was flawless. He might have gotten lucky. But one could see Tesla is making improvements.

I've never said "it's Te$la or nothing sucka!". I enjoy other cars like my buddy's 911 Targa, my dad's LX570, mentor's Ferrari and one of my ultimate goal is to one day be able to buy a Pagani, an absolute art.

But for the price that I'm paying for Model 3, Y, S and X... I find it hard to compare.

I'm thinking really hard about to upgrade my X with a new X Plaid. It's 133k after fucking luxury tax. It's a freaking beast that does 0-60 in 2.2, 1/4miles under 10, and carries more than 1000HP. What other option do I have for 133k? BMW X5/6M are 140k+, Benz AMGs and Audi RSQs are about there if not more. What do I get? 0-60 is slower, 1/4miles is slower, less HP, higher operating cost, more maintenance... I can go on.

The question comes down to, WTF am I getting for the same money in legacy brands over Tesla? I can't think of anything that's worth the trade. But again, that's me.
