I kinda wish Tesla made a few regular petrol cars for the enthusiast type such as myself, as this sounds like a ton of neat technology to play around with. I'm just not in the market for an electric car, unfortunately. Edit: By enthusiast, I mean track/motorsport/etc enthusiast. I borrowed a Model S from a friend of mine for a few days and while I enjoyed it, it wasn't the most exciting drive, and I can't imagine it…

I used to be a huge enthusiast, drove mr2s, z06 corvettes, a wrx, bmw 3 series, autocrossed the competitively. Driving an electric tesla made all of those cars feel utterly dumb . If you drive cross country a lot or do long track sessions, I get it, tesla won't work well, but if you don't think an enthusiast would like a tesla, give one a try.

The other major caveat is that your trips need to not venture far from the interstate. I was interested in a Tesla, but my frequent camping trips in Rainier make it impossible for the moment.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is it a joyous experience when you have to wait 1 month+ for basic replacement parts to arrive? How about when your consumer grade touch panel dies from heat and vibration?

Imagine describing sitting in a parking lot watching YouTube in your car a "joyous experience".

Imagine imagining.

What is a basic part? My seat rocker broke and I walked into a service center and bought a new one for 2 USD.

What's a seat rocker? Google is turning up household furniture.

Really excited to finally get Spotify integration, that's huge. Also hoping they install WiFi at superchargers so you can watch youtube/Netflix while charging there. Not sure where else I'd use that feature.

Is there coffee at Superchargers?

I don't know if this is a serious question. The superchargers in my area are in the parking lot of grocery stores in which coffee shops are present.

In my experience, Superchargers are ALWAYS near 1) coffee, 2) food, 3) bathrooms.

Bit of a bad look that the video clip showing Smart Summon shows the Tesla driving the wrong direction down a one-way lane... This might be a situation where Tesla Smart Summon works only when Tesla's are still rare. In areas where they are more common, I imagine a traffic jam of confused driverless Teslas trying to move past each other but get stuck in a small lane like the one in the video.

It’s a parking lot, no right way.

Why do they feel dumb? I hear this kind of stuff but I don't get it.

Do you still do all the things you did with your old cars but now with your Tesla?

Not sure why they called this new feature "Joe Mode". Who is this Joe? An employee? Why not call it quiet mode?

I may be incorrect, but I recall it being about someone on Twitter had sent a message to Elon asking if they could turn down the volume of the alerts because it would wake up their kids while they were driving. His name was Joe. So Tesla implemented “Joe Mode”.

most car owners don't wrench on their own car, statistically speaking. for those of us that do, Tesla does a lot of self-defeating with the way they handle repair and service. fyi: all car forums are filled with negative experiences with that specific car. The people usually go to forums to try to find help, not to espouse the greatness of their investment.

> fyi: all car forums are filled with negative experiences with that specific car. Which car and what forums? Care to post some links that are at least more than a week old? > The people usually go to forums to try to find help, not to espouse the greatness of their investment. Not true! There are a ton of bad experiences with lackluster customer service. I myself experienced it an posted it at teslamotorsclub.com (T…

I'm not OP but I've read a lot of long wait time for body repair & parts posts over in /r/teslamotors. Tends to be an issue that has slowly been getting better.
