Family member shopped for a car yesterday. It’s over for gas cels.

Other cars:
Fat hairy salespersons at Lexus, arrogant fat retard at Mercedes, hundreds of cars standing on the lot, nobody cares, overpriced crap, slow, ancient tech.

Tesla:
Sales people are thin, car goes as fast as a lambo, cheaper and more advanced than competition. Family was laughing at a testdrive comparison. Tesla is like an alien spaceship vs a tricycle for 3 year olds that you guys drive. Giant moonroof ftw. Never going to a gas station ftw.


Take your smelly gas pump handle, shove it in your ass, press 93 and insert your credit card, because nobody cares. You’re done. No more tears, only EV now.

Get in your smelly ford gt, wroom wroom on your gas pedal, and get smoked by a family suv.

Tesla Is The Most-Recalled Car Brand—By Far—Of All Cars, Trucks, And SUVs

Elon Musk’s cars take 4 of the top 5 spots.

Tesla has set another record, but not one you’re likely to see touted in ads by the company, if the company ever decided to run ads. Turns out Teslas are recalled more than any other brand in America—and by a long shot.

There were 400 NTHSA recalls issued in 2022, impacting more than 25 million vehicles. Of those vehicles, Teslas scored four of the top five spots on the list, according to the price-tracking car search engine iSeeCars.com. Tesla might have scored more, but it only makes four models.

The brand with the fewest projected recalls is Mercedes-Benz, followed by Toyota and Lexus. A total of 33 car, truck, or SUV models are projected to experience one or fewer recalls in that time frame; 25 models are projected to experience at least 10.

Do you think this is fair? Let me ask you this, the reason my family member was shopping for a car is because her brand new Lexus had a leak through the sunroof, keep in mind she was not opening it, where enough water came in, which messed up everything on the inside and the car was declared a total loss, do you think that should have been recalled? Or do you think Toyota officials are in cahoots with the government regulators? Do you think Elon musk and Tesla are being treated fairly?

You also said something interesting, where are the Tesla ads? This is an example of product selling itself, no marketing BS is needed.

I think op forgot about taking turns.

However they are great compared to 97% of cars. They are the logical case for a family sedan hands down.

Teslas are the best "toy" cars. It's pretty dumb seeing people dropping hundreds of thousands on "sportscar" combustion engines that don't even go as fast or handle as well as a base model Tesla.

But you can't have it be your only car. You need another one in order to drive any significant distance.

Cars aren't recalled because only one has an issue. Mistakes happen, and if I had to choose, a leak sounds better than a fire while driving down the highway, oh, and that fire will likely smolder for a week.

On a side note, I didn't know you were so progressive and so worried about climate change.

You enjoy your tesla, we know it's not your "family member" getting one. Oh, and say hi to your wife's boyfriend on our behalf.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Honestly I like teslas but my issue is always having the thought of the battery going bad. Also because of that the resale is horrible.

Never met a real man who drove a tesla. Let that sink in.

If you drive a tesla, you must not have a dad or he was a complete doormat while your mom was pegging him.

Definately some cool things about Tesla's and I think it's cool how they do business. They are doing it different. Breaking the structure of how cars are sold/serviced that has been going on for since before any of our parents were even thought of. As far as EV's, they aren't there yet. There are some things that are now on the horizon that are in the R&D stage which will change a lot of things.

EVs have some definite perks for city driving where you have a garage to charge in overnight, but none of that is specific to Tesla

The problem is your post makes no sense.

Lexus have a 5-10 year warranty. Sunroofs are covered under body defects. Lexus cover the cost of renewals in this case.

Since when do people decide they have to go shopping for another brand new car because of a repair covered under warranty? Also why would they go and buy another brand new car from the same manufacturer after their current brand new car just failed to what they deem to be beyond the point of economical repair

So either the car was out of warranty, meaning it was 5-10 years old, thus not "brand new" as you've suggested, or this never happened and the entire thing is a troll. Which one is it?

A few years ago I went shopping for myself and noticed a couple of quality issues on Tesla , so I ended on buying something else, however, this doesn’t seem to be the case on the new Teslas, I would also be quite skeptical of videos like this, Besides, there are videos like this for every car maker.

Let me know when it works in neg 20 and can deal with a foot+ of snow

And if I’m getting a second car it’s not having a single fukking computer chip in it.

Then I would probably get a 3/4 ton used pickup for hauling stuff

Then I might consider a fast luxury golf cart

I think it’s the third option: you are ideologically dug in, and are going to say anything and everything to discredit Tesla and Opie, which is fine.

State Farm paid out already full value. Total loss. It’s totally reasonable to see what options are available from Lexus and any other manufacturer, despite the disappointment with the water leak. It’s also perfectly reasonable to try a different manufacturer, one is not obligated to stay with Lexus forever.

So far several people we know that own these all like their car, but that’s definitely something that would be a dealbreaker, if something gets weird in the snow, or in cold weather, or even small things like moonroof getting too hot or too bright in the summer, which was a problem on my BMW for example, then what Can you do? My family will simply have to sell the car and get something else, they don’t give a ****. I’m curious how this will go, will update.

Yeah don’t know where you live, it’s just a deal breaker for me to not function in extreme cold. Also would be nervous places like Florida where they weren’t letting EVs evacuate.

Several parents whose kids go to my son’s school all have different models and seem to like them. Just still doesn’t tick enough boxes for me to consider them yet. I’m also paranoid around tech like that with the direction things are going. No computer chips is a bigger concern to me then buying a computer on wheels.

Price point and luxury/speed seems like it checks out so I won’t hate too hard, I just have different priorities.

Being tethered to wall outlets for driving sounds like an okay idea until you have to tow something or live somewhere where it occasionally gets cold.
