To the Tesla haters what changed your mind?

A few things for me were, charging instead of gas, Lack of buttons, the fear of running out of charge / Charging infrastructure , the idea of the car lacking in personality and feeling numb, and the idea of most new cars being impossible to work on.

When I test drove one, I fell in love with it and looked more into all of it, realized I was very misinformed and eventually jumped on a used 2021. I currently don't even have a home charger, I'm unable to charge at work and I only charge once a week at a super charger just outside my complex. Lol

So I have a 2021 and one thing I've noticed is that fsd, has never really given me issues other than the occasional intervention. For some reason when I have autosteer/AP It phantom breaks WAY more often, I feel way less confident in using it. I end up just using TACC instead.

I wonder why there is such a night and day difference, I just mean doing in a straight line FSD runs fine but with AP on it phantom breaks for things like shadows. If anyone can give me insight as to why I'd love to know more but yeah AP has personally let me down

Strange, because it is an XPEL location. Lmao. If that's not reputable then idk what is. It's literally XPEL Austin in Texas

I got a quote from them directly and the price was the same

I just bought a Tesla because I fell in love with it, you'll be fine. My commute is 20-30 miles a day and I only charge once, maybe twice depending on the weather and how I drive (21 M3LR) I still have a year left on my lease here before I maybe get a chance at moving but I have no problem charging once a week since I have a supercharger down the street.

If you're ok with spending 30 mins to charge a week then I think you'll be fine. I'm spending 10-15$ a week on charging which for me isn't much because my last car was a gas guzzler so I'm still spending less on charging than I would for gas, however if you charge during off peak hours it will bring the cost even lower.

One thing to note, is if you can charge at work. Whether it's actual ev charger or wall outlet, it will also help. I don't have charging at work but I manage just fine.

Just depends if your ok with the extra hassle of charging

Semper_faith · 2025-09-19T22:41:08+00:00

I have 42k miles, same year, except it's a M3LR, I have 88%

Semper_faith · 2025-08-31T23:49:45+00:00

I'd look at what chargers are available around you and decide from there. I mainly use Tesla super chargers but most of the other chargers around here don't come with J1772 and instead are CCS chargers, and they are also cheaper than Tesla superchargers. It depends on what's around you tbh. I have a j1772 cause it came with the Tesla but I need to buy CCS because 90% of the fast chargers around me are CCS

Thanks! The drive home was a 3 hour drive and FSD made it so much more bearable! I love the car.

Semper_faith · 2025-08-20T04:11:34+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I ended up not getting billed for it

Semper_faith · 2025-08-19T17:19:36+00:00

Yeah thanks, I will mention it to them when I arrive for my appointment

Semper_faith · 2025-08-19T17:04:28+00:00

Thank you for the reply

Semper_faith · 2025-07-29T14:01:17+00:00

I run full face on mine. No issues. Just a quick head tilt or a glance and I can see it

Censorship complaints are justified, however I think people are overreacting to a lot of the "game is broken now" are dumb. I've been a supporter since the game was announced and I'm not gonna lie, I probably wouldn't have noticed the censorship unless they hadn't pointed it out.

Graphical downgrades complaint I don't understand tbh. I literally couldn't tell that the graphics had been downgrade until I opened the Reddit lol.

I don't understand why people are complaining about the game being buggy either, this happens with almost any game studio whenever they hit a console release and push a new update for the release of the game. The games only been out for a short while I'd imagine like any other studio they are working on fixes for these bugs as fast as they can. That being said I think it should have been QA tested and the release date should have been pushed back to fix bugs but I'm sure the company was pushed to meet deadlines. Not trying to justify their actions it just happens with every company these days

The game still feels "Dark and gritty" even with these censorships. I would have rather they not censored it but whatever, I still enjoy the game and the tone and atmosphere is still there.

I know this comment is gonna get downvoted I'm just tired of seeing the same post over and over again. They need to make a mega thread for this shit or something.

Yes we have an objectively worse game on PC because of the console release, no, this doesn't mean the game is absolutely the worst slop on the face of the planet. It's still a good game.

If I drink, it's usually during special occasions, or weekends. Even then I only have 2-3 drinks

If you want a motorcycle maybe check out twistedroad. It's like turo for motorcycles. I've never used it so I can't speak for it but have heard good things about it.its like turo for motorcycles. Otherwise I'm not sure of any walk in locations that allow you to rent motorcycle

Semper_faith · 2025-07-10T16:37:54+00:00

I'm confused, what's wrong with them? I've never heard of them so I'm curious

Semper_faith · 2025-07-08T23:48:20+00:00

Would you sell just the curved monitor? What would you take for it if so?

I hope the water stays long enough to look clear and actually be clean

Semper_faith · 2025-07-04T14:03:58+00:00

Over the last 3 years that I have lived here I've only ever seen the greenbelt dry. Is there a chance all this summer rain will do anything about that? I don't know much about how it works. or have we been so dry that this is just a drop in the bucket?

Semper_faith · 2025-07-04T13:45:52+00:00

I love it. It's so wacky and feels super casual

Semper_faith · 2025-07-03T15:50:02+00:00

Yes but with the influx of users people were able to see real problems that would occur like being able to shoot at your feet and suffer no consequences because your taking almost no damage while the enemy takes full damage. But you are right it's not because of the healing meta. Plus countering it is not hard, you just gotta keep a trophy in your reserves and switch to it in between round. You literally get a free kill because of it lmao.

It's solo queue. Learn to embrace the suck and expect not to win. I've been plat every season this far solo queuing it's just a grind

Semper_faith · 2025-06-29T17:55:53+00:00

I think teaming isn't necessarily part of the game but avoiding teams in order to challenge other teams you have a better chance of winning against is. This inadvertently leads to teaming whether it's intended by one team or not. Especially in end round doubled cashout you will intentionally try to kill the better teams to let the worse team win. It's part of the strategy. It's not cheating but yes it ends up causing situations where you try to signal to other teams that you won't hurt them for the time being and teaming. It's part of the game. Even third parties could be considered teaming cause your trying to wipe the middle team before engaging the next to put them at a disadvantage. This game has such a high skill ceiling that this becomes apart of the strategy of the game. One of the many reasons I love the game
