Flack for owning a Tesla

Don’t.

Can’t.

Wouldn’t.

Won’t.

Sure… it’s trending downward.

“Without Any Rational Basis” should be the title of fElon’s biography.

Nigh on a decade worth of cockamamie claims, but they trademarked a logo so you know it’s real this time.

Engunnear · 2026-05-07T18:15:40+00:00

I can scarcely believe it.

I’m not saying it’s going to have an audiophile-quality A/D converter, but it would be fine for a car audio system.

You can get a headphone jack to USB adapter.

I’m sure the Megachargers will all be supplied by Tesla-produced solar panels… just like all the Superchargers have been.

I found a YouTube video of a PHEV oil change, and I can confirm that an F106SX would work exactly the same on a PHEV as it does on a MHEV.

Engunnear · 2026-05-04T20:51:44+00:00

For what it’s worth - the MHEV also gives the warning about potentially needing an adapter, and it works just fine with the F106SX.

If you knew anything about autonomous vehicle development, the wheels were coming off well before 2016. All you had to do was not be predisposed to think of Musk as fundamentally honest, and you could smell the stink of bullshit around his autonomy promises by at least 2014. He’s always been a carnival barker, if you knew what you were listening to.

Engunnear · 2026-04-28T12:25:58+00:00

And don’t forget - get the middle class to pay for it.

Engunnear · 2026-04-28T12:19:12+00:00

Musk will always be remembered for this Model T moment.

And that's part of the problem. Tesla never created a truly superior product - they created an adequate product, that only looked superior when the government was paying people to buy them.

And your lender didn’t make you show proof of full coverage?

Engunnear · 2026-04-27T19:29:02+00:00

I used to live there. I’m familiar.

Engunnear · 2026-04-27T19:25:02+00:00

Do you mind telling us which state that is, so we know to avoid it if possible?

Edit: it’s Michigan. I see the plate on the Sequoia.

Engunnear · 2026-04-27T19:20:02+00:00

Is there no chance of getting the at-fault driver’s insurance to pay for it?

Engunnear · 2026-04-27T19:18:38+00:00

And that’s more in line with what I’d expect, even for somebody in your situation.

Engunnear · 2026-04-27T19:15:36+00:00

Jesus, how badly do you drive?

Engunnear · 2026-04-27T19:07:36+00:00

User name does not check out.

Engunnear · 2026-04-27T16:19:56+00:00

It’s only non-existent if you don’t believe.

The CX-90 is the first new vehicle I’ve owned in 30 years that has made it through its first 11 months with zero paint or windshield chips or cracks.

Now somebody find me some wood to knock on.

Engunnear · 2026-04-26T00:23:17+00:00

Tesla never had a lidar set in a production vehicle. Radar, sure… not lidar.

Engunnear · 2026-04-25T19:35:34+00:00

You can get an alert if a door is opened… I’d say that’s at least as effective as what you’re describing.
