              Yeah, with the lack of quality and attention to detail and likelihood to trap you in and burn you alive if you crash it goes horrifyingly fast. Not any faster than your average luxury car, but more deadly

                I mean im no apologyst and i hate the guy as much as anybody, but its significantly faster than your average ice luxury car. I would never buy a tesla now, but i also am not a fan of skewing the facts to fit a narrative. The cars were shit in the beginning and are much better now. Pretty, well equipped and fast. But dont buy any of them, fuck tesla. And fuck elon especially.

                  They accelerate faster. But they lack the top speed of a lot of more pedestrian cars.

      Well, if computers worked as well as this shit you wouldn’t be using it to work tomorrow with billions other people.

      Computerizing cars isn’t a bad idea in itself. Fuel injection, ABS, airbags and so mamy more features that make todays cars so much safer and less polluting all use computers to function. It’s just we live in an enshittification era.

        Screens aren’t a bad idea either. Displaying diagnostic values or at least error messages is always preferred to just an LED or code on the odometer. Not everyone has OBD readers.

        Touchscreens, though? GTFO.

            Yeah, my parents got a Hyundai Kona last year and they’ve managed to balance physical buttons and a touchscreen pretty well. Hazard lights, windows, the AC, and all the steering wheel and stalk controls are physical. It’s not perfect but they also looked at a Volvo EX30 and that thing was basically a Tesla copycat. I would hate to drive one of those.

        I’d expect the dealership to give it a quick detail before letting the customer drive away, even used car dealerships do that. But I guess when we’re talking about Tesla all bets are off.

          You can’t detail a car in 15 minutes. Most places just vacuum and run a cloth around the dash. My guess is the Tesla dealer only does that if you ask or demand it, considering they love to cut corners.

          I don’t think Tesla dealers work on commission (basing this entirely off the comment of a rando on this site without verification), so that would help explain it.

            You’d think the dealership would step in though. If I bought a $100k vehicle I’d be beyond livid if it was delivered in that condition. The fact that it’s also broken is just a cherry on top

                You have a point. Even if I wanted one, I have nowhere to charge it. I’d only buy a cybertruck if I knew I could immediately turn around and sell it for a profit. But I’d fucking clean it first.

        The worst bug I had on my car had the onboard computer not starting, and the screen remaining black. It meant I had: no GPS, no music, no backup camera, and no parking sensor.

        But apart from that, the car was driving perfectly normal, and all the other features were working as expected.

              i never experienced an ecu bug before.

              OK, that’s a sample size of one, not very useful. Most Tesla owners never experienced an ECU bug either. I’ve never had an ECU bug in any of my own cars, but last year I had a rental car from Opel for a few months while my car was waiting for a replacement transmission to get shipped, and in the few months I had it I experienced an ECU bug once, where the car refused to be put into gear, and the only way to fix it was to disconnect the 12v battery and reattach it

              It’s a fact that modern cars get more complicated electronics every year, so ECU bugs leaving you stranded will get more common every year also

                i never knew anybody whos ever experienced an ECU bug before, on non-teslas. the infotainment system can have issues, but on sane cars it is separate from engine management and the electronic functions of the car that have to be reliable.

                i think thats the point this post in general is trying to make.

        Depends on the car brand. Some kept their dependance on software quite low like Mazda. Some decided to take a risk with the software gods and tie their entire functionality to it while simultaneously laying off good workers and rehiring the lowest bidder.

              Let’s see here.

              ECU - that has a bug and your dead in the water

              Push to start - bug in that system, and you’re stuck.

              Hill Hold - have a software glitch there and your brake is jammed on.

              Sorry bub, there are multiple system on your car where a software glitch will stop it from driving.

                Every car has an ECU, those are pretty much tried and tested at this point. Bugs are rare.

                I don’t have push to start.

                I don’t have hill hold.

                Like I said, the most advanced feature of my car is a USB charger.

              Not that common, I think most places try to flash the ECU and if that doesn’t work they chuck it. I would not be surprised if a lot of software bugs get resolved as a bad ECU.

      This could be an ICCU failure, where the high voltage battery doesn’t properly charge the 12V. I have an EV model that is known to have this issue (luckily I haven’t had it happen). It can be caused by either hardware or software faults. Still pathetic though lol

      Edit: the cyber truck apparently doesn’t have a 12V but rather a 48V system. I’m not sure if this same issue or a similar one is happening, or something else entirely.
