Drove A Tesla Today

To my knowledge all the cars are VERY good, but that stupid "truck" is horrendous in looks AND function imo ... ironically, the truck is the only one Elon had all design control of and it is now replacing the Edsel as the biggest failure. Elons prediction of 250000 a year sold will be lucky to be that number in total, not to mention over 40% of the trucks sales NOW are because of Space X buying them... im mad mostly because of what could/should have been with the truck instead of what it actually is... then freaking Ford comes along and messes up another potentially awesome electric truck ...

Maybe all along his plan for the CyberJunk was to have them up in Mars after the launch of the SpaceX IPO?

Or

More Floridians will buy them.

My house up in Goodyear would've been ideal having an EV because I had solar which covered more than enough production for the house. I thought about getting it here but without the government subsidies along with all the electric companies taking away net metering it's not worth it anymore. Luckily my house was grandfathered in (for 20 years) and when I sold it the new owner still had 10 years left which was a huge selling point. You're lucky you have enough room on your property to build your own which is what I would do if I had just a little more space here.

I just saw this where Walmart is now getting into the charging game. They just started adding charging station in July of 2025 and in just over a year they now have a little over 600 stations and growing. Smart move on their part because one of the biggest complains is sitting there for 45 minutes waiting for your vehicle to charge. Unlike an ICE vehicle you can keep the AC blasting, tilt your seat back and watch a movie on the main screen. Now people can hook up and grab a few things inside WM and be charged by the time they're back to the vehicle. This is great while traveling even if you just need house the rest room and just grab a couple snacks.

We really don't shop at Walmart anymore. I don't do well with purple haired, tattooed with nose ring people teaching their kids to steal. A while back we were by the cookies getting a box of triscits. A cart rolls up down the aisle a way and I hear the kid say I want a cookie. Mom or whoever grabs one of the expensive packs, opens it up and gives it to the kid. A couple rows over I see the half eaten pack on a shelf. Tell an employee who informed me they're supposed to ignore stuff like that, It happens often. We can get anything Walmart sells cheaper from Amazon the next day or sometimes in hours with being exposed to today's generation.

Yeah we rarely go there but the one near us isn't as bad as most of the others I've been too. Mostly because the area I'm in is 55+ and the other city nearby is my family oriented but there's a lot of Hispanics there and I've yet to see a purple/green haired one wearing ear stretches, piercings and inked from head to toe.

I should mention this since many may have forgotten. Tesla has no problems at their discretion changing the way your vehicle can charge meaning no super charging and possibly only slow charging taking more than a day to charge. This could be due to false claims in their system that can't be reversed. This could be due to you looking at the service center in the wrong way of having the wrong pitched voice. This could be due to you making a slight modification and all of a sudden the owner of the company sueing you because you did said modifications. Make sure to read the fine print as the Tesla vehicles are not worth it in the long run

How is this different from any other modern manufacturer today?

They all have fine print and can decide to screw you over on a whim, never mind the "impaired driver" features that can prevent you from even diving it.
