Teslas are the worst cars on the road. Usually driven by assholes.
Worst cars on the road? Care to elaborate on that a bit since it’s quite bold claim
Maybe not the worst on the road, but apparently pretty close.

It’s also miles ahead of most cars that have nothing more than lane keep assist that doesn’t work half the time.
It’s okay, having used it myself I can say it is not worth the $15,000 a year they are asking for, you can buy a whole other car with that money, and that stays around after the year ends. There are several other car companies with generally functional autopilot software already on the road, including Waymo, and typical car companies like:
GM – (Select GMC and Cadillac vehicles, Chevy Bolt, etc.)
Audi (A6, A8, and more)
BMW (X5, 3 Series and more)
Ford / Lincoln (Mustang Mach-E, Ford F-150)
Kia / Hyundai (Telluride, Palisade, Sonata)
Mercedes Benz (S-Class, E-Class, and more). Level 3 in 2024
Volvo (XC90, XC60, XC40)
Nissan (Rogue, Leaf, etc.)
Infiniti (QX50)
Note that these are typically less expensive than Tesla, with some like GM offering up to 85% cheaper pricing for the same technology.
Where the fuck are people getting $15000 a year from?
Uh idk, here are articles from electrek.co, CNN, NBC, The Verge, Business Insider from last year…
All say one time cost, not yearly cost.
Here’s a link to the tweet that Elon posted himself, saying the price would raise from 12k to 15k in US
Yes, one time cost. Not annual cost.
Why do you want to pay a yearly fee for something that does a shit job driving for you, anyway? You can be a shit driver for free anytime you want.
Fair enough! Doesn’t exactly prove his claim but atleast there’s a kernel of truth there.
