  • People will shit talk them yet no one can face the fact a model 3 from 2018 is still ahead in features and is still one of the safest cars on the planet…

    That’s the fucked up part, Internet will bend the reality to fit its ideology. To me, there’s nothing more offputting. My model 3 from 2021 is doing 4.3 miles per KW at 82k miles doing nothing but 70 mph on dual carriage way

    This is from today. You go drive a Ford, you’re not getting these figures RIGHT NOW in brand new dsmo car. No one does phone app the way Tesla does. At most you can use NFC to open it, but the wireless entry? Yeah, it’s not even up for debate. And we’re not talking about the wireless key that can be “hacked” by a wire and car stolen… Or should we talk how charging costs £0.24 on tesla super chargers vs £0.79 for everyone else literally on the other side of the car park? No? Those things are irrelevant now? BUT THE CYBERTRUCK THO!!

    As you can see, I’m triggered by stupidity. I simply cannot find a sane place online. But in person? People are still asking me about it. I had 2 bad comments in the time I had it. One from some kid wanna be petrol head how all EVs are shit, unprovoked, I don’t even know him or even looked at him and another jealous twat, I’m sure it wasn’t because of the car but aimed at me…

    That’s it. That is the real world out there. Lemmy, reddit, bluesky etc are just echo chambers.









  • There are many flaws in AU plug… Its a poor copy.

    So the top prong is longer, so it goes in first and “opens” the bottom two holes. It will also not shock you if you accidentally touch it. The lower two prongs are sleeved so they only make contact when fully inserted. The pins themselves are also more solid so they are basically impossible to snap.

    That’s the most major differences between the two.





  • I’m curious to see what Mazda does with a real EV. Their current line up is a joke. I think only Jaguar made a worse EV.

    As far as the cars you mentioned? I find it very hard to believe you found those cars to drive better than Tesla. Hell, the Mustang is one of my least enjoyable cars to drive to a point where MG 4 handled and drove better than that mess. The regen even at max is just too weak, their cruise did not handle dual cariageway well, let alone A roads… And really? A VW? Yeah, now you’re not even being serious. They got slammed for being outdated and peddling the same shit for years. There’s more to cars than just drive forward, especially at those prices…

    Audi, again, it lacks. It’s a ice brand not adapting to what EV world is and it shows. If you want ice car with battery? Fine, but don’t go and compare it to EVs without talking about the EV part. It’s a shitty representation of someone actually living with the car.



  • Because I’ve test driven what’s out there right now. Nothing comes close to my old Tesla and I’m not going to buy a new car from a different brand when used model 3 of the current models will be better value.

    People genuinely are ignorant to how advanced the Tesla system is vs the competition. I’m very fortunate to live in dealership hotspot and I’ve driven plenty. Be it byd, kia, Hyundai, Volvo, polestar, mg etc. (Fun thing to do over weekend to kill an hour).

    Tesla’s from 2018 are genuinely better than competitors coming out right now. You add the better battery and heat pump from 2021 and your efficiency is basically as good as it gets. I’ve driven enough in my car to understand what makes for a good “range”. It’s all about that efficiency. The latest model 3 is a minor improvement, but still one I’ll happily upgrade to in 5 years time or so when I get close to 170k miles.

    But hey, that cybertruck! Or earlier models panel gaps! It’s such useless noise bashing what is the best car anywhere near that price.

    Maybe Merc’s, lucid and Rivian have it beat, but they aren’t available here or more than double the cost…

    I hope it makes sense. I get outrage at Musk coming from valid places, but I’m not letting a twat ruin something for me. He has more money that god, me buying used car has next to no impact. So why bother?
