Question for the Californians out there. Why are you people so obsessed with tesla? I live in new england and i understand that the weather and infrastructure is not ideal for a tesla. However ive seen people on blind classify cars into two categories tesla/non tesla. I understand if you classify cars as electric/ICE given that electric is the future but whats with the obsession with tesla only? Is this like a status symbol?

    Autopilot is the best L2 solution publicly available. It reduces long distance driving fatigue by 90% for me personally. The supercharger network makes it the only ev practical for road trip as of today. Model 3 starts at 40k. One month salary for many engineers in bay area. Nobody really thinks it's a status symbol.

    It’s agility. My wife likes to drive our Nissan Leaf more than our bmw 5 because it’s so much more agile as an ev even though the bmw has more than 4x the horse power. But a Nissan Leaf sucks on higher speeds. A Tesla is like a high end ICE car with agility of an electric car, so it’s pretty damn good.

    I think it’s pretty accurate to call Tesla the apple of cars. It’s expensive, but not extravagant like ferrari, bentleys etc like the old vertu phones. It’s functional and has great vertical integration between software and hardware.

      “Collaboration feature which is their secret sauce”

      Forgot to mention that FREE, EASY and ACCESSIBLE ONLINE ANYWHERE is their secret sauce.

      “Collaboration” maybe to get companies to pay…

      Apple? Sells mostly sells overprices sh!t these days, if you wanna compare to phone manufacturers, maybe at least do Google Pixel 5a? The competitively priced, with Google features and great performance, but none of the useless stuff?

    Just compare the looks and usability with Tesla vs other electric car then u ll understand why smart people classify tesla and other cars.

    U don’t need to smart. U just need to have some sense of intelligence to search in the web!!

      Lol for the entire post; I don't agree that Teslas are the best but they do have a very big & strong first mover advantage. So I would invest in its stocks for the sale from this forum alone but spend my money on some other car brand.
