“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

    Why? They are only marginally better than a Tesla. And the software of the dashboard is designed for Chinese people who like UX and UI that look like the Aliexpress or Taobao website. Really unintuitive. Not to mention the post sales service is about as bad as the post sales service on your Huawei phone. I’d rather buy a KIA.

      Because price point.

      I can get the top of the line BYD performance sedan for less than half the price of the Tesla and Kia dont do a 500hp sedan.

        I think they were joking with the Kia. They’ve implied that the Tesla is so bad, even a Kia is better.

          I know it’s off topic but Kia make awesome electric cars. Kia/Hyundai are easily better than Tesla in most areas that really matter.
