I have a new appreciation for Elon Musk after experiencing a Tesla firsthand. The best thing I can compare it to is like going from android to IOS, but with a car. Everything is so intuitive, the features are insanely cool, and the supercharger network is vast. Is there anyone else who could have done all this? I’m not sure, considering no one else has. It’s the first real innovation and imagination we’ve seen in the car market in 50+ years. It’s very impressive to see how it’s scaled.

IMO it’s not that innovative or exciting when all the other car companies are just sandbagging new tech and designs.. Tesla rushes new features and tends to do a lot of collateral damage in the process But still I had always wanted a Tesla until a few years ago..

Well, I’ve driven quite a few vehicles including my mom’s fancy Porsches and I’m still very impressed with the feature set. The other car companies sandbagging new tech and designs is kind of the point. Tesla may force them to finally innovate. I won’t ever want to go back to a dumb car imo.

My point really is that Tesla rushed things and there were plenty of negative consequences. They use their customers as beta testers. It’s not innovative it’s just an unethical business model. they have a neat ui but they are nowhere near the integrity of iOS. Car might seem smart but it makes a lot of stupid mistakes and Telsa always passes the buck to the consumer
