The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.

I was an early tesla fanboy and always wanted one, I finally have my finances in a place where a new car isn't an awful decision and went with the ID4 just so I didn't have to deal with that guy in any way shape or form.

I think my next car may end up being a F150 lightning. It'll be probably 7-8 years (just got a car recently), and by then I'm hoping the pricing has stabilized.

I love that it's basically just a proven truck design that's also electric. They've been refining the form of the truck for the better part of a century. No need to ignore all that experience.

We need electric vehicles that aren't a "lifestyle choice" if we want mass adoption.

yeah, everything is specific to use case, but there's no real change in behavior with most of the new evs - probably the biggest barrier is city/apartment living with charging infrastructure being dogshit. If you have a garage, or dedicated parking, it's a no brainer at this point.

How're you liking the ID4? That and the ioniq5 are looking pretty good ATM... Though I wish the Honda E or ID3 was sold in the US...

[–] jumpinjesus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's great. The touchscreen software isn't great and there's a few annoying interface things, but it's great otherwise. Great to drive, tight turning radius, great pickup, efficient on the highway, no real complaints. The ioniq five was my other choice also, but I leased, and they didn't pass the tax rebate back to the customer when leasing, so I went with the id4

OMG jealooooous I love the ID4. Did you get the single or dual motor?

[–] jumpinjesus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Single, no towing. It's great though.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Cool cool. Yeah, the 0-60 on the dual is nutballs
