What are they bitching about? Their Teslas are not spontaneously catching on fire.

“Members of a Facebook group called ‘Tesla Owners Club UK’”

I can smell the smug all the way across the ocean...

The Tesla owner who crashed said he was using the Autopilot at the time. Josh Kaplan

It could be worse. Much much worse.

'New Tesla owner and I’m super disappointed with the charging lark. Nobody told me that a winter charge would barely achieve half the performance.

I'm not even in the market for any car, and I knew that.

Is this what I have took forward to when my gas vehicle dies? It’s like the world is designed to become more irritating with each passing day.

I think it’s a bot.

I’d say AI but I think it’s AA.

I remember the good old days when we jockeyed a line of cars to buy gasoline. Three hours is nothing. Boom box and beer. Six pack wore off before actually driving anywhere.

A friend of mine has one. He was trying to find a restaurant to meet at and had to make his choices for charger proximity.

That ain’t no way for a free man to live.

So funny! What did they expect buying a car without ready means to recharge? 'Really upsetting to have whole family wait for two hours to charge car.'

I recall seeing a family standing beside their Tesla in the middle of the night up in Truckee while it charged so they could drive home. So convenient.

Waiting on FR-EV-ers in 3,...2,... But, it did take about 7 minutes to fill my truck the other day. Including walking inside to put up the cash, walk back out, do the fill, walk back in for change, walk back out. So, I kinda get it. 🤔💸⛽🚚 🛣 👍

This is like someone buying a large diesel pickup then complaining they’re only getting 15 mpg.

“Hey! No one told me that would happen!”
