Musk’s behavior may be contributing to Tesla’s declining sales.

    I wouldn’t buy a BMW either.

      Do you have to take lessons on how to park like an asshole before you’re allowed to drive one?

      Yeah that’s fair, but I guess their willingness to go with a finiky German car over a Tesla was an interesting indicator of just how much they didn’t think of the Tesla

        I don’t like Tesla because of Musk and the quality. I don’t like BMW because I owned one.

          I’ve owned BMWs for 25 years, i was a German car mechanic, I still love them and love owning them, but I dont recommend them to anyone. I was not suggesting they are a great choice, just that from the point of view of an insider who knows the QA and design of Tesla and BMWs, they would never even drive in a Tesla, but they were willing to own a BMW.

            BMWs are largely problematic for the same reason Toyotas are so damn reliable. Lots of new tech means stuff isn’t as ironed out, and just more things to break. They cram as many gadgets and cutting edge tech into them as possible, while Toyota will use the same 4spd auto in half their fleet for almost 20 years with just minor revisions. It’s a matter of what you prioritize, and your average person doesn’t give a shit about those features.

              Lol yeah, I am agreeing with you

              If someone asks me what car to buy I tell them to get a Honda civic. But then i get back in my BMW and enjoy the unparalleled driving experience… Until it needs some love, then i work on it myself
