A contrarian isn’t one who always objects - that’s a confirmist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform.

    Well, it’s a brand-new car company that started almost from scratch. Quality control issues like that are to be expected and will likely get ironed out over time. Like I said, every car model has its issues - some minor, some major. Some have more, some have fewer, but none are perfect.

    Take my truck, for example - it’s infamous for snapping the factory timing chain and destroying the engine because of it. My previous car on the other hand was well known for transmission failure. You couldn’t name a single car model that doesn’t suffer from similar issues.

    Every single car on the market has issues comparable to Teslas — every single one. Some have fewer, some have more, but none are perfect. People just nitpick Teslas because they hate the CEO but he truth is that they’re overall solid vehicles and quite safe too - excluding the Cybertruck.

















  • Someone most have contacted Dogde, Jeep, or Stelantis for a comment on this.

    A Stellantis spokesperson told Fortune in a statement that “a temporary software glitch affected the ability to instantly opt out in a few isolated cases, though instant opt-out is the standard for all our in-vehicle messages. Our team had already identified and corrected the error, and we are following up directly with the customer to ensure the matter is fully resolved.”
