You have buttons on the wheel and voice commands. But it must be nice to stay in your little ignorant bubble so I will leave you be now.

Current year of course.

Yet the model Y is the world’s most sold car. Maybe it’s not the touch screen that is the problem.

Disgruntled ex employes say a lot of stuff. No proof though ;)

Also Elon bad, yeah no shit all people with that level of money are generally assholes. But a company should be able to chose who it does business with no?

It’s wild to me that a car that is really quite a bit simpler than an ICE car is required to be perpetually online.

Well it would be wild if it was true. Car drives just fine without an internet connection.

there are absolutely zero controls on privacy for Tesla telemetry data

Another wild claim, what is it based on I wonder?

I have dark mode and auto dimming on my huge center console monitor. It’s a non issue. The only thing it really shows is my car on a map and what is playing on Spotify. I never look at it or am distracted by it when driving.

I do feel like there is room for a nice super simple EV with minimal/no screens and only the features required by law. It would need quite a few buttons for windows, heated seats, heated steering wheel, defrost, climate control etc but it would be quite a calm experience I think not having a huge monitor there.

when they drain as low as 20% they shut down to protect the battery

Haha what? No that is some serious misinformation. A Tesla might go into a slumber mode when parked for a while, this only means it takes a few seconds to start instead of the instant response if you parked for a short while. , but it will not shut down until sometime AFTER reaching 0%.

Also, there are now two types of batteries for Tesla cars.

The Tesla Model 3 RWD’s battery pack uses the LFP chemistry which Tesla recommends charging to 100% at least once per week. Tesla recommends setting the charge limit to 100% for daily use.

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range and Performance variants uses a different chemistry referred to as NMC. The Tesla Model Y owner’s manual recommends setting the charge limit to 90% for daily use. This will minimise degradation and preserve the longevity of the battery.
