       @codinghorror I would have *liked* a Tesla until about 2-3 years ago. But touchscreen-only controls are a no-no, the "full self-driving autopilot" bullshit was obvious and stinky at 500 metres, the horror stories about racism/sexism on the factory floor are appalling, and the CEO going full red-pilled alt-right was the final kiss of death. (Like VW's Nazi cooties in the 1945-65 era.)

       @cstross @codinghorror How about the quality issues? Those that are visible at the gaps in between the panels of the chassis. Or the water vapor inside the tail light covers. Or just the rain water simply finding its way into the interior. Or the mudguards touching the wheels. Probably there are thousands more... I've always been wondering how these cars managed to be legally allowed onto the streets.

       > Or the water vapor inside the tail light covers.You mean like every modern Audi? I've also seen this on Porsches and BMWs. This is a common issue on most newer cars.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-H45PFITqYHere's the technical service bulletin for all Audis 1996-2019https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10127856-9999.pdf
