"your HP subscription is about to expire, would you like to renew it? BTW, that's a nice house you've got there, it would be a shame if something were to happened to it."
Same, we bought one before Musk went mask off. We're closing on 180,000 KM and have only needed to replace the upper control arms, which was covered by warranty.
Same here. The only maintenance has been tires, windshield washer fluid and cabin air filter for the last 5 years. I also won't buy another one as long as Musk is there. Last year we were in the market for a second car and if it was about tech specs alone, a used base model 3 would be the best, but we bought a BMW instead. Fuck Musk, but the car is a pleasure to own.
You're lucky, then, I think. My nephew's 3 never got right. After a year of ownership they finally agreed to take it back, mostly to avoid a lawsuit, I think.
The fit and finish was also pretty atrocious, but I reckon most people don't really notice.
I very rarely have back seat passengers. The seats back there are kinda small. And I figure the hidden manual latch straps make it about the same as any back door with the child lock on.
It is in most. There are a few makes/models where crash detection can disable them, but we've had 'dumb' child locks for decades, and no one cared! So it's just irrational hate of Tesla driving this.
Not even that, BMW allowed to get it as an option (never removed the possibility of buying it out right). However this is the internet, there's no room for nuance.
They charge for premium network connectivity. It's $10/month to make use of if the LTE radio in the car for connecting directly to streaming services without your phone, live camera feeds in your cell phone app, and some extra map stuff. You still get eight years of basic navigation and updates if you don't pay for it.
The heated seats thing was BMW, which they back tracked on
I doubt you lose the GPS connection, but you lose the network connection to make the mapping and navigation work. About like navigating with your phone without cell service
Edwin Black's book IBM and the Holocaust is the principle source. IBM denies this accounting but I found Black's case compelling and his book cites primary sources in the form of Nazi documents and eyewitnesses in Poland.
Those things are solid. If and when I eventually do get a car, I wanna get a little Toyota pickup. Not one of those moronic massive pavement princesses. Like the old Ford Rangers from the 90s. A little truck, good for converting into a van or just helping neighbors move things. A small, low to the ground, helpful, polite little old man truck.
I hate all those brands that people create a cult around. Back in the 90s, it happened around Saturn cars. Saturn owners were known to be insufferable about their Saturns, as if they owned something special, instead of just another car that anyone could buy at a Saturn dealership.
I test drove one once, to see what the fuss was about, and by the end of the drive, I had about 10 things I hated about it, including headroom being so low, my head hit the ceiling on every bump, even after the sales guy adjusted seat all the way down, and I'm not even 6 feet tall. Apparently, Saturn was hostile toward tall people.
I can chalk a lot up to just people having different tastes and all that, but when people are literally spending non-trivial sums of money on Apple product packaging, like they're collecting the boxes the shit comes in and decorating their space with them, things that they never even actually owned at any point in their lives...I'm sorry but that's just on a whole level beyond people that, like, are into their Jeep (though as recent Subaru owner I've found people are similarly oddly passionate about owning a Subaru...its just a car to me man, sorry lmao) or into FunkoPop or whatever.
Any other product, if you see someone selling an empty box almost 99% of the time it's like, "Yeah, this is a scammer, they're banking on people not paying attention" but with Apple boxes it's definitely 50/50 that it is legit someone selling an empty box to someone looking to buy an empty box. The absolute insanity lol

I like it, but it’s even worse than that as I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists or trap me inside and burn my body into dust.

In the early 2000s my hp printer had a paper jam and the error message from cups was “printer on fire!”

That's only because it's tethered to the wall, lacks wheels, and is two tons underweight. Just like a house-cat: it would if it could.

Well it wasn’t historically a problem because doors still had handles on the outside. Then tesla had to “innovate” on that.

Mapping and navigation still work but only update when you update the car. You lose access to real time traffic and the lte network.

Can I offer a little percussive calibration to Musk? Just a sharp slap on the side of his head? I'll bet he'll respond to that.
