Do people buy them because they hate the environment and want to make more toxic batteries that cause more harm than gasoline emissions? Or maybe because you hate money and like to replace the batteries every five years? Or perhaps you like unreliable and unsafe vehicles that Americans help pay for in order to keep Tesla in the black because he can't make a profit on his own? Or perhaps it's because Elon is a chubby ahole who has taken over $7,000,000,000USD in grants funded with tax dollars?

Still have some respect for the man, though honestly the labor issues around Covid mean that he will go down well in history only for SpaceX likely....

A great honest review. I never thought I'd also be watching Linus for car buying advice. This has honestly been the most useful Tesla review video I've seen so far. I really like how you broke down some of the practical stuff others overlooked when focusing on performance. Honestly the wind shield wiper thing alone is a deal breaker for me living in the rainy PNW. I was so close to buying one too. I think I'm going to wait and see how the new EVs from VW motors turn out.

I've been somewhat actively following Tesla for years now and it was literally only watching this video, right now, that I learned that what Tesla calls "Autopilot" is not the full self driving capability. That is irresponsible beyond comprehension. It doesn't sound as flashy, but it is absolutely necessary to replace this name with something like "Advanced Adaptive Cruise". The full self driving feature is what is implied by the term "autopilot" and anyone who is literate in English is able to make that connection. You cannot convey to drivers that they have to ability to hit autopilot and check out when that's something you cannot do until full self driving is implemented (and even still, I feel that naming this full self driving feature "autopilot" is dangerous because you shouldn't tell drivers that they don't have to pay attention in any circumstance.)

Tesla petitioned the government to stop giving payment incentives for electric vehicles. For example you'd buy an electric car for 36000$ and the government gives a financial incentive of 4000$ to you, so you only pay 32000$. Those incentivized payments stop if the manufacturer reaches a certain threshold of sales (random example: 200000 cars sold) . Tesla stated back then they welcome other companies to produce and sell electric cars. Then why try to cancel out financial bonus programs by the government as soon as they almost reached their sale threshold? Tesla was needed for a change in the industry but I despise a lot of their practices.

I own two Tesla’s and used android auto along with car play, which both suck. I used car play for about 3 years and Android auto for 2 years. Both were cumbersome. Tesla changed my mind after a few months. 2 years with my model 3 snd it drives me 90% of the way 30 miles to my job and has never failed once period. I have never had the car serviced I have not been to a gas station in two years as well. Linus is wrong about many aspects snd right about some. He is reading the hype of mass media snd did not do his research or does not have experience. Out of 23 cars owned in my life the Tesla is the best hands down. After two years I am just as excited and have just as much fun getting in and driving as I did when I bought it.

I really don't get the Tesla/Elon hate. If you prefer other cars then fine. But people seem to be going out of their way to criticize. You think other car manufacturers don't have tech defects and flaws? They have more. Tesla's are safer than all the others. And they're newer to the game. Elon has Tesla, which does more than make cars, SpaceX, The Boring co., neuralink. He started hyperloop and shared it. These companies are doing and/or will be doing amazing things which will benefit the world we live in. The guy is amazing yet people find the most ridiculous things to complain about and try to knock him down a peg. Give it up. None of you can compare. What have you done. Linus fanboys are actually comparing Elon's knowledge to Linus's. Give me a break. It's not hard to build a good pc people. Linus is very tech savy, that's why I watch his videos. But he's nowhere near Elon's level. His car's aren't perfect. Nobody's are. But I like his better than the others and he's just getting started. ICE cars are going bye bye and Tesla is leading the charge.

This guy had the opportunity to dig dropper and show the warts and the the awesomeness of Tesla. Instead, a tech guy, decided to quote articles that were full of misinformation on the autopilot safety. It is a shame - I loved this channel for a long time as I hate all the fanboyz followers in any realm..... but Tesla has done something truly epic here and this little wanker is spinning this as a Tesla / Apple approach like his Windows / GM Volt choice. Anyone, and I do mean anyone - who would choose a Volt over a Mode 3 is missing the big picture. BTW- the title is false. Why make it sound like you bought a Tesla?

Wikipedia: "An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilot does not replace human operators. Instead, autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)." So... the name is accurate, but it doesn't account for our general collective ignorance.

"And as everyone knows Phase 3 is where you're supposed to make profit'' ...what?? Says who lol, ask Amazon how they continued not making a profit far longer than Tesla. And what in the name is Linus talking about ''learn how to drive a Tesla''. It's litteraly easier than any other car on the road currently. You only have to press the pedal and steer. Tesla's weakest point is their customer service for sure. Though, I still have yet to discover any automaker where this is their strong point. Linus totally misses the mark here imho. It's not Tesla's goal to make normal people car people either. They simply want to make THE best daily car on the road. Long term, it is mostly self driving (&robotaxi) that is truly their moat. This will blow away people coming years. And Linus talking about android auto hahahaha. Good luck running games or smoothly a youtube app on android auto. And what the hell is up with him using spotify free and then complain about not being able to skip the ads? I call that weird, picky frugality.

I have had a model 3 SR+ for about 1.5 years, and think most of the criticism is fair. I especially don’t like the windshield wiper controls, and the sound quality is not great unless you upgrade. However I personally have had no quality control issues, and don’t regret buying the car. I’m not a car person, and would never buy a BMW, but the Model 3 appealed strongly. Tesla certainly has Apple-like issues but I have had such negative experiences dealing with other manufactures (specifically Dealerships) that they really aren’t so bad in comparison. I do fear for the off-warranty future though, especially with the right to repair issues they share with Apple. Then again these cars are much less complex then a ICE vehicle.

The reason Tesla doesn't want carplay or android auto is that they want to sell their own Tesla native Apps in a Tesla app store. Just wait. It will come soon. Why? Because when the car is full self driving people will want more entertainment options in the car. If they put Android Auto in then people will be less inclined to buy apps on the car if they can connect to many apps they want from the phone.
