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.

…is what you tell yourself to fight the cognitive dissonance.

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.

For cars: black. Everything else: olive green

Well I don’t know about the world but I’d still have my cat.

Well, hats off to you for at least doing something other too than just reading the news.

You could reduce your news consumption by 95%, and you’d still “know these things.” There’s no avoiding them - trust me, I’ve tried. Nobody is obligated to consume the sheer volume of news your average Lemmy user currently does. At this point, I’d practically consider it a form of self-harm. The only way to maintain anything remotely resembling a healthy media diet nowadays is by actively limiting your exposure to the overwhelming flood of information.

And for blocking comments:

I would refuse my services to them and leave. Losing an individual customer here and there doesn’t affect my business in any way.

Explanation is not excuse. Personally I wouldn’t buy a car that has access to the internet in the first place.

The source of my assumptions is my mind, but sure, here you go.

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.”

What I like most about electric cars is that there’s so much less moving parts that break and need to be replaced. With a hybrid this isn’t really the case. I wouldn’t mind getting an electric pickup but they’re just way out of my price range and I don’t quite feel like getting one that’s all new and shiny because I use mine for work and it’ll eventually get all banged up anyway. Also, really difficult to find one with just two seats and a long bed.

I don’t feel like that’s the case. The cheapest used pickup available right now costs 3x as much as I paid for mine. The price difference pays my fuel for 10 years.

Does my diesel pickup truck count as protest against Tesla?

He should be someone you look up to and want to be like while he wants you to be even better.

It sounds like English. It’s the Brits and Aussies that I hear having accent - not Americans.

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

No you wouldn’t.

The ad was most likely supposed to be shown once. Not literally every single time the car stops at traffic lights. Car companies may be stupid, but not this stupid.
