    I think our bias is that a huge portion of us are scientists and engineers, so the things that bother us aren’t the same things that bother everyone else. Most people don’t worry about how their car works, or want to repair it themselves, etc.

    It’s not the car for a Linux user.

      Im not buying this. If it could be demonstrated, I’d be willing to bet that at least 99% of the people who upvoted this have never even changed a spark plug, let alone anything actually complicated or difficult with their car.

      It’s clearly en vogue on lemmy to hate on Tesla, which is almost certainly why this has so many upvotes. I just don’t get why people have to pretend the cars are shit when seemingly it’s really about hating musk.

          Which is perfectly valid, imo. It’s a very similar reason as to why people boycott Nestle products. It’s not necessarily because Nestle products themselves are unsatisfactory, it’s because people take issue with Nestle’s leadership and the executive decisions they make.

        I’ve changed a spark plug, and assume I’m typical here.

        Dear readers: Please downvote this comment if you have never changed a spark plug.
