  • New frontiers beckon, but Tesla faces a showdown with savvy local and Chinese competitors vying for dominance.

    Even if it weren’t for all the political stuff Tesla’s are just not very good cars, combined with a truly awful customer service experience.

    I have no idea what BYD’s customer service experiences like but the fact that the cars seem to have actually gone through some kind of QA means that they can only be an improvement

      True, I can’t imagine buying a used Tesla knowing that I’d still have to make monthly payments to keep some features.

      I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a jailbreak community that completely replaces the Tesla OS with something else.
