As someone in government policy, all that shiny shit can be regulated at the swipe of a pen and it will happen. Hell, I've written leg that includes it. She's not a car person. If it's what she wants, she can have it. I could give a single shit while it's still under warranty, but I will never buy another X. We have a Model Y Performance take home right now and for $20k less than our X it's built 10x better.Yeah I've heard the tech argument before, and as someone who works in the Tech industry, I don't buy into it. I think too many people get enamored by shiny tech and ignore systematic quality and service issues, wasting both money and mental energy on both.
If I want to watch a movie in my Taycan while it's charging, I'll just buy an iPad with a 5G connection and keep it in the frunk.
Agreed. I had never driven a Y before last night - entirely different handling and built vehicle.Yeah, it really needs to be said that Tesla is more of a great research technology company that just so happens to make mediocre cars. Before my Taycan I had a 2013 Model S P85, and up until the day I sold it last year, it was still getting updated, and TBH had better tech and features than a well equipped Taycan nearly 8 years newer. But that's where it ended. It was straight line fast and surprisingly reliable, but the build quality and panel gaps were horrendous, and certainly nothing near how a car in 2013 that cost 110k back then should have looked in terms of fit and finish.
I would Recommend a Model 3 or Y to someone looking for a car at the 50k price point all day long. Even then their finish isn't as good as cars in those price points, but the gap isn't as bad as it is in the S and X next to peers, and total package is hard to beat.
