Red or you’re dead to me but I agree. Tesla’s are garbage. They are poorly put together. Just look up some tear down videos of new Tesla’s to witness the horror for yourself.
Oh also that battery capacity upgrade you can buy? Yeah they can also throttle your battery too via a software update. Imagine if your car manufacturer installed a plug in your gas tank that prevented you from filling it up without paying a fee. The entire business is a complete clown show.
I owned a Prius Prime so much I made a YouTube video about it. Sure it’s not a full EV but it’s fast and super wallet friendly. The video I made was a no gas challenge since I drive really far everyday for my old job.
Not to defend deceptive business practices, but software battery limits are slightly different from a fuel tank being smaller. By not allowing the battery to charge as close to its full capacity, a software size limit can actually significantly improve the longevity of the lithium cells. Batteries sustain the most damage when they’re charged completely to full, and even the best battery management systems can’t prevent all of the damage. This is also why charging speed is significantly slower near the end of a full charge cycle.

Okay yes but cheap car go quick in straight line. 😅
I’m definitely in agreement in general but it’s hard to find anything that quick, which is my favorite part of my aging c63, for that price.
