  obviously.
context: A steering wheel that doesn't fly off while you're driving, now that Is a good suggestion >
  
  A GREAT steering wheel, that doesn't whiff outta the window while i'm driving! >
  
  Too small!
  So when you get in there you're like "if the steering wheel fly off, I'm toast" >
  
  I think that is a good idea and I stand by it *chest pat* >
  
  NO. ROOM. FOR. MOTHER. IN. LAAAW! >
  
  That's not helpful >
  
  i’m doing the best at this. >
  
  STINKY >
  
  Maybe Jesus took it >
  
  That bastard! >
  
  Technically correct. >
  
  Did they let their steering wheel subscription lapse? >
  
  Tesla CS: We see that you did not check the "Steering Wheel Attaching Hardware" option >
  
  YOU FLINCHED! >
  
  NOW YOU HAVE TO MARRY YOUR MOTHER IN LAW >
  
  I actually do love my mother in law. >
  
  Oh my god. He admit it! >
  
  a bad steering wheel that WHIFF off while I driving >
  
  Stinky! >
  
  Read this headline and thought, “Another?!” Lol damn. >
  
  Another 8 more times and they will catch up to Ford. >
  
  I’m going out on a limb, but I’m guessing Ford sells more than 5 times as many cars as Teslas >
  
  True. 1.2 million recalled by Ford for the steering wheel falling off vs 252k Model Y's. 
  Wonder how long before Tesla does a recall. >
  
  When it becomes less expensive than not recalling them, and not a cent sooner. >
  
  I am Jack’s total lack of surprise. >
  
  I haven't been fucked like that since grade school! >
  
  IIRC the original line was "I want to have your abortion" and they were made to change it. >
  
  They weren't made to change it; one of the producers wasn't comfortable with it and kept petitioning director (and notorious control freak) David Fincher to change it, even after it tested well. Fincher finally agreed on the condition that the replacement could not be cut, then wrote a line that the producer was even less comfortable with. >
  
  Good thing it had a full self-driving autopilot!
  /s >
  
  "Elon, take the wheel". >
  
  That should be a shirt lol >
  
  It would probably be worn by Elon fanboys though >
  
  Probably >
  
  Definitely >
  
  A. This Tesla that was involved in the incident in Woodbridge this week...
  B. Yeah, the one the wheel fell off?
  A. Yeah.
  B. That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.
  A. Well, how is that untypical?
  B. Well, there are a lot of these Teslas driving all over the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don't want people thinking that Teslas aren't safe.
  A. Was this Tesla safe?
  B. Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
  A. The ones that are safe?
  B. Yeah, the ones the wheel doesn't fall off.
  A. Well, if this wasn't safe, why was it delivered to a customer?
  B. Well, I'm not saying it wasn't safe. It's just not maybe as safe as some of the other ones.
  A. Why?
  B. Well, some of them are built so the wheel doesn't fall off at all. >
  
  How long did they have to wait to have it towed out of the environment? >
  
  It's not in an environment,  it's beyond the environment >
  
  Just air, asphalt, and birds. >
  
  And steering wheels that fell off >
  
  And the 3 liters of blood that was spilled, but that's all. There's nothing there. Can you call me a cab by the way? >
  
  Why? Didnt you arrive with the ministers car? >
  
  Teslas are the worst fit and finish vehicles you can buy in the US. There is a whole industry built around fixing everything from panel gaps to missing hardware. >
  
  Tesla isn't a car company, it's a tech company. So the "vehicle" part of the vehicle is forever doomed to be an afterthought. >
  
  And the tech is equally shitty. lidar > vision. >
  
  The best would be a combination of the two >
  
  Musk has dictated vision only meaning they will never have real autopilot. Every other manufacturer is using vision lidar, and radar all together. >
  
  Yes obviously it’s impossible to drive a car using only two visual input devices. No cognitive system could ever accomplish such a task. >
  
  With a near 360* fob thanks to a gimbal and a highly developed extremely efficient computer, that’s good at creative thinking, pattern recognition, contextual thinking and interpretation like… idk… a human brain, it sure is. >
  
  That’s the joke. >
  
  Pretty sure that's not what they meant when they said Jesus take the wheel >
  
  Tesla fanboys: "Tesla is the Apple of EV."  
  Tesla haters: "Tesla is the Apple of EV." >
  
  Tesla isn't the Apple of EV, it's the Razer of EV >
  
  Razer is the Apple of peripherals and Windows laptops... >
  
  They make laptops too. >
  
  Hands freeeeeeeeeee >
  
  “There is just a lot of super talented hardworking people in China who 
  strongly believe in manufacturing,” the billionaire said. “They won’t 
  just be burning the midnight oil, they will be burning the 3am oil, they
   won’t even leave the factory type of thing, whereas in America people 
  are trying to avoid going to work at all.”
  This is what happens when workers are worked nearly to death. >
  
  I’m so glad I didn’t buy a Tesla when I was checking out Model 3’s in 2019.
  My friend has a $100k Model S and it has gaps in the panels, occasionally water leaks in, and the interior is what you’d expect from an upgraded Camry.
  Anybody who thinks that is a luxury vehicle has never been in a modern luxury vehicle. >
  
  My Mazda is more luxurious than a Tesla... >
  
  Until you drive it. Then you realize there's no comparison to an electric drivetrain and low center of gravity that EVs offer. >
  
  I mean other automakers have electric cars, it has nothing to do with whether a car is luxurious or not. >
  
  What's an electric car in the same price range as a Tesla with similar performance, range, and better interior?
  What I'm saying is, none of those luxury features matter once you start to drive it. The driving experience is just so much better, it dwarfs all other factors in my opinion. Who cares for ventilated seats when you have the instant torque of an electric motor quietly working without obnoxious fumes?
  EDIT:  To me more buttons does not equate to a better interior. Responsiveness, intuitiveness, functionality, comfort, ergonomics, is what makes a good interior. Tesla has this nailed. >
  
  Polestar 2.
  Kia GT6.
  Hyundai Ioniq 5 (if you can get over the bullshit dealer markups, like KIA).
  Volkswagen ID4 (SUV/MPV now, sedan next year).
  etc.
  Model S equivalent? Sure. Lucid, but they’re just getting started. Porsche Taycan, Mercedes EQS (although I would avoid it like a plague if you hate gimmick dashboard screens). BMW iX (which has a better more granular throttle response than even most high end EVs due to its motors). Etc. Many of them emphasize different aspects people like in driving other than ooga booga 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.
  If you are willing for a car with less battery capacity because you don’t need the range then theres the Chevy Bolt with 60kW/h and 200 miles and actually a good bang for your buck.
  To add: the safety perception of a Tesla is purely from inherent format of having the battery on the lowest flattest part of the car, which is not specific to a Tesla. Yes they do can do good engineering in terms of simplification sure.
  People who talk like you are the kind of people who only know that one thing thus make an entire gloss-over statement based on it.
  
  “and better interior”
  
  Oh you sweet sweet summer child. >
  
  These are built to rigorous roadside standards. For starters, the wheel's not supposed to fall off. >
  
  We just don’t want people thinking that Teslas aren’t safe. >
  
  Was this tesla safe? >
  
  Well obviously not because the steering wheel fell off >
  
  Mr. Musk, what can be done to protect the environment in cases like this? >
  
  Well, the Tesla was towed out of the environment. >
  
  Who was then charged 103.96 for the repair by the service center. Despite this literally being a manufacturer defect. The owner was also then informed that their is no return policy. All of this on a car under a month old. >
  
  
  The owner was also then informed that their is no return policy
  
  Isn't that pretty typical with cars though? >
  
  Depends on the reason for the return. If the car has a problem that can not be fixed, you can sometimes get a new vehicle instead. 
  My mom once bought a new Subaru and it had problems with the sun roof leaking. She visited dealerships for 2 months trying to get it fixed, but since nothing would work they just gave her something else. Not sure how often that happens though. >
  
  If you are ever interested in the exact details read up on the "lemon law" for your state/country. The general but is that if a vehicle has a persistent problem that cannot be fixed and is not normal for that vehicle, then the manufacturer is obligated to exchange the vehicle. Your exact luck proving the problem and getting the manufacturer to cooperate will vary though.
  You also have various standard parts warranties for new vehicles. >
  
  Glad to see the entire r/ithinkyoushouldleave sub showed up. >
  
  They didn't have to do the oral >
  
  Might fuck this whole thing up. >
  
  Doesn’t Tesla have airbags? I’ve removed a few steering wheels, there are specific procedures and bolts that must be removed so the airbag does not deploy. WTF >
  
  It does have airbags within the steering wheel, however it's easy to remove the steering wheel without triggering the airbag.
