The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.

    Anecdotally I have to disagree.

    I really enjoy our Model 3 and Model Y. After renting an ID.4 for a week in Norway I find that the Tesla setup is a lot more “no nonsense” than other OEMs.

    For example the ID.4 has many “safety” features that help center the car in the land if it detects that you are leaving the road. In Norway that have very narrow roads and you often have to pull over to the shoulder (far past the lane edge) to let a car pass.

    To turn those settings off in an ID.4 I had to dig through a menu and disable them every time I get into the car. Every. Time.

    Tesla’s UI experience is much more like a smart phone with persistence like one would expect. Like or hate the form factor, the infotainment on Tesla’s are done about as well as you can with a giant touch screen in my opinion.

    I really fucking loath Musk these days though and wish he would be ousted from Tesla.

      Not really fair to compare the ID.4 against your Teslas. The Audi Etron on the other hand has a far superior infotainment system compared to the Tesla and none of the issues from the base model VW.

      I’m not accusing of intentionally comparing apples to oranges, but given the price brackets you made a really terrible argument.

        The price brackets seem the same to me. Our Model 3’s config is actually cheaper than it’s similar ID.4 spec, where as an etron is like $30k MORE.
