I rented a Model 3 last month when I was on a business trip and I couldn’t stand it. After driving much better cars like the Polestar 2 and the Kia EV6 it was a real letdown. Even the windshield wiper controls are hidden in the touchscreen, which is one of the dumbest UX decisions I have ever witnessed in my life.

And how the fuck does anyone enjoy driving a car without a display above the steering wheel? It’s too distracting to have to always glance at the center of the console.
I literally just posted this!

I don’t enjoy driving which is why I have a Tesla
I also don’t like Teslas because I detest Tesla culture. Most of the owners I’ve encountered seem like smug, entitled, jerks.
Recent example: I rented an EV from a different manufacturer on a trip last week, which uses the J1772 plug standard. The hotel where I was staying had three charging stations: two Tesla chargers and one ChargePoint. When I arrived late in the evening, the two Tesla chargers were sitting unused, and there was a Model 3 plugged into the ChargePoint with a little plastic adapter. I parked right next to it and yanked the cable out (it wasn’t locked because of the adapter), and plugged it into my car, which locked the cable for the night. I checked in to my room and wrote a friendly note to the Tesla driver to let them know. So… AITA?
I’m definitely smug and entitled.
Also a narcissist with psychopathic tendencies.
Not sure why some people consider these negative traits?
