This is not very much fun.

Oh. My.

Very much enjoying the AppleTV+ option to use local radio audio.

I always had fun going to games at the coliseum because it was cheap to get seats close to the dugouts or home plate. Fans were always pretty cool as well. That was before the move was being discussed, so they may not be as genial these days.

My wife bought a multi-colored set of eight cereal bowls several years ago. The set has one red bowl and one maroon bowl. I have never once eaten out of either the red or maroon bowls, and when I put away dishes the red and maroon bowls always go on the bottom of the stack and the orange bowl goes on top. My wife is a Sooner (graduate degrees), and I don't think she has ever noticed that the red bowl is always on the bottom.

I completely reject this supposition.

Go poll every Tesla driver in CA and see how they skew politically. It sure as shit doesn't match this dumbass internet characterization you have all cooked up. Biden carried California in 2020 with 63.5% of the vote vs 34.3% for Trump.

I admitted that I missed Buick and their 170K vehicles ahead of Tesla on the reliability ranking. Imagine that, someone on the Surl admitting that they made a mistake. But it doesn't change my point AT ALL. So they were second on a list of twelve American manufacturers in that particular ranking. Reading this echo chamber circle jerk thread would leave you with the impression that Tesla is bottom of the barrel for quality and reliability. And it's just not factual.

Tesla is the number two selling vehicle brand in CA, which is hardly MAGA country. But keep up with this and someday fetch may actually happen for you.

My first post today. NoName fits your meme better.

Fuck outta here with this. A lot has changed in the last three and a half years since I bought it.

But that's not what I have been doing. I'm not touting Tesla as some model of reliability. I've simply been saying that their quality issues are not unique in the industry. That's it. Yep.. I missed Buick ahead of Tesla there. My bad. Doesn't change my overall point, though. Tesla is not uniquely bad with quality issues, despite the fact that they have only been manufacturing vehicles at large scale for less than a decade.

LOL all you want, but I have a car that drives itself. I enjoy it. It has had a continuously improving level of self-driving features since I purchased it over three years ago. Latest update with v 12.3.1 is impressive.

That was only part of the calculus that went into my decision. The main factor is that I wanted to support the development of self-driving technology and experience it firsthand.

I didn't say American-made. I said American manufacturer. I posted a link to the latest Consumer Reports rating that has them in the middle of the pack and ahead of the big three, considerably. People in this thread continually throw Tesla under the bus a if it is a unique outlier in build quality in reliability, and it's just not true.

I feel like I should start inoculating my commentary with the following two standing statements: 1. Musk has revealed himself to be an incredible piece of shit. I used to be ambivalent about him, but find myself more and more in the camp that he just needs to shut up and go away. 2. The Cybertruck is a terrible hunk of shit from concept to execution. That said, here goes... Tesla has earned a lot of scrutiny with their quality issues, but let's not pretend that they are unique in the industry: Toyota Prius Ford F-150 Chevy Camaro My Volvo XC90 has been in the shop twice in two years to replace a known quality issue with the electric heating element. For 2024, Consumer Reports has Tesla as the highest rated American auto manufacturer for reliability. Tesla gets the extra scrutiny because it has revolutionized the auto industry and people are very interested in what the company does, and people generally dislike Musk.

RAKE!!!
