      People said that about iPhones when they first came out - I'm used to feeling all the buttons with my fingers. Imagine going back to your BlackBerry or Nokia today - it would be antiquated by comparison. There is also the matter of what is it you need to be playing with while driving? Everything is either automated, directly accessible via steering wheel, or voice if you really wanted to… turn on AutoPilot and you don't even need to be holding the wheel (disclaimer you do need to touch it every 20 seconds to confirm you are awake).

      The speedo is just something you're used to - peering down between the gaps of your steering wheel or peering slightly to the left, same same. It's like driving a left-hand car - you think it's going to be end of world but it's actually no big deal at all, and that IS a significant change.

      Then again getting into a car, tapping in a PIN number, pulling down the gear stalk, pushing the accelerator and being flattened in your seat as you hit warp 9.975 in an instant with nothing but the sound of the tyres on the road… you never get used to the thrill of that. There is still a brake pedal if you can't get used to single pedal driving.

      Take one for a test drive - just like the first iPhone, it isn't actually possible to understand what your experience would be like with this tech by reading the thoughts of someone else's own experience with this tech. Or people that said we'd all die because of electricity, or analogue mobile phones, or now 5G, or automatic transmissions, or even using a computer mouse instead of typing commands into a DOS prompt….

        Autopilot is nowhere near self driving level 5, so it's extremely dangerous to rely 100% on it. There have been many Tesla autopilot accidents due Tesla's false advertisement about autopilot. Even their promised FSD feature is not at level 5 https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a35785277/tesla-fsd-califo….

        Tesla is extremely good at misleading marketing for their autopilot feature, and it's really dangerous for society.

          AutoPilot is a next step up from Active Cruise Control - actually a few steps up as it keeps to lane, reads speed signs and traffic lights, etc. Nobody including Tesla have said level 5, 100%, etc that's like saying a living room rug can't 100% cook your dinner :D

          • dhnqt on 17/04/2021 - 18:03

            @Tillsy: People like you who have good knowledge about Autopilot can understand the difference. But unfortunately majority of consumers do not.

            A Munich court has ruled that Tesla intentionally misled consumers on the abilities of its automated driving systems, by using the wording "full self driving", "full potential for autonomous driving” and “autopilot inclusive”.

            Tesla is now banned from using those wordings in their advertisements in Germany.
            https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/tesla-autopilot-self-driving…

            So Tesla is actually guilty here, and it's really dangerous

          Can you explain how autopilot is false advertising? Because if you're referring to aircraft autopilot, it just locks heading and altitude. It's way less advanced than Tesla autopilot. Maybe it's misleading in your head because you don't know what autopilot actually is?

          • dhnqt on 17/04/2021 - 21:27

            @[Deactivated]: I never said the term "autopilot" is misleading. Please read the articles and understand what people are trying to say first before commenting.

            What is misleading is the way Tesla advertised their cars with "full self driving" and "full potential for autonomous driving".

            A Munich court has ruled that Tesla intentionally misled consumers on the abilities of its automated driving systems, and banned Tesla to use certain wordings.

              @dhnqt: How many times have you used autopilot? Have you ever even watch a Full Self Driving Beta video? 'Potential for autonomous driving' is absolutely not misleading at this stage of development.

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sibfRCgMiFE

                @[Deactivated]: Have you ever worked on machine learning and computer vision research before? I have.

                One example on Youtube doesn't prove anything. Regardless of your experience with autopilot, both Tesla and Waymo have a long way to prove that they are safe enough to be legalized as self driving vehicles.

                • [Deactivated] on 17/04/2021 - 21:50

                  @dhnqt: That's not an isolated example. There are hundreds of user videos.

                  You've obviously never even used autopilot, yet you think you can give an expert opinion on it. That's cool, live in ignorance.

                    @[Deactivated]: Let me give a final simple explanation. Even if Tesla FSD has no accident 99.99% of the time, it's still not safe enough and can't be legalized as a self driving vehicle.

                    With 1M Tesla vehicles on the road, that 0.01% accident rate will turn to 100 accidents. No law maker will allow that.

                    It's cool that it get to this stage, but this is actually the most dangerous stage since it's not good enough, but people like you fully trust it.

                      Tesla is aiming for 30 times safer than a human driver.

                      Right now autopilot is about 30% safer than a human driver on the motorways (statistically speaking). Long way to go. But they'll get there.

                However VW have learnt from this and ditched diesel to go full electric. A bit more emissions is nothing compared to shoddy workmanship and manufacturing by Tesla (see news posts)

                Your fanbois infatuation with Tesla has blinded you to the constant dodgy behavior the CEO Elon Musk is constantly involved from share price market manipulation to using debt from one company to take control of another that is under financial troubles where he is the majority shareholder.

          That perfectly sums up what YOU are doing.

          You've even made up total garbage a few posts above about having to replace batteries 5 times. You're talking total and utter crap.

          You do realise Tesla's have been on the road more than ten years now, and proven to have the best battery life of any EV to date with a mere 10-15% of battery life loss over that time. Their battery management is second to none and the industry has been working very very hard to catch up - which is exciting competition is a fantastic thing.

          A mate of mine has had a Nissan Leaf for 10 years now. It has now lost so much capacity he only has a range of around 50km and must charge it every day - still ticking along but he will need to either replace the batteries or get a new car.

          Whereas you're mouthing off these things DIE after 1-3 years, replacing them 5 times after the 8 year warranty, that you have a friend of a friend of a brother's girlfriend's sister's uncle who knows someone at work who slept with someone who heard a rumour from a random guy in the street who had overheard a story from someone in a bar. And then you criticise everyone else for having no idea what they are talking about. Are you 5 years old?

          • danieroo on 19/04/2021 - 20:33

            @Tillsy: what i meant was the first x amount of years in the warranty period wheter it was 5 or 8, what i mean is after you drive out of warranty period which is the risk. for me i want a reliable car that wont break down in the middle of the road every x amount of years. each their own i guess. the teslas features are really cool tho. i understand some people might flip, but its best buyers know the pros and cons and what other peoples experiences say rather than shut people down when they voice out issues. it is fact the battery life will deteriorate permanently the more you use it until capacity is short. just like a phone, you use it years and years, you'll be replacing the battery (engine of tesla which is not cheap) so this is a con. calm down all. take a breather.. teslas will always be cool in my books tho

            • furfy on 20/04/2021 - 06:40

              @danieroo: @danieroo I understand what you are saying, but the risk you speak of is inherent of all types of vehicles, regardless of whether they are petrol, diesel or electric. There's zero mass-produced car manufacturers who have had zero vehicles break down ever. As an example, someone could throw a rod on their 200,000km old Camry, or cook the motor from bursting a radiator hose and they would be up for a replacement engine. It's well documented that in general, the Model 3's battery is designed to last ~500,000 miles and it's body ~1,000,000 miles and petrol/diesel vehicles components all wear out eventually, just like a Tesla's battery or electric motor, especially when we are talking about components that have been used for > 500,000 miles. In fact, one could reasonably argue that there's a greater reliability risk associated with a petrol/diesel vehicle due to the significantly higher amount of moving components in their drivetrain?

              • danieroo on 20/04/2021 - 17:49

                @furfy: you have good points. the war on electric vs gasoline is still here. hence australian government barely giving any support to go green/electric vehicles like european countries who have been supporting electric vehicles for quite some time unfortunately. i would buy a tesla anyways, but next gen like model Y depending how good it is. pros and cons to everything. buyers (we) need to be wary of each and every.

      I'm not sure but the battery logic is the life cycle is getting shorter and shorter similar to a mobile phone…. the more you use and recharge the life cycle is getting shorter…

      but to cause it to sudden death, it must be something else… the battery cell can't deplete out completely without reason unless the cell itself got busted.

      Despite all, I'm still prefer diesel then petrol engine car… wonder how the car would be operated if there's a slight flood in your local area (would it be sensitive to water like a petrol engine), or how it performs for towing a boat.

      Damn man that's annoying! Did you know that the hybrids won't even start if the battery is dead…. :)

    what about the Model X?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2021 - 03:05

      Not for sale till 2022. Massive demand, no production of new model right now. I reckon late 2022 at best, ~ $170k starting price,

      • Naigrabzo on 19/04/2021 - 16:52

        170k is a bit much though. it better make me coffee (and cake) while driving me to the dentist.

        • [Deactivated] on 19/04/2021 - 20:24

          It's a top of the range Tesla. What do you expect? The Plaid is $250k.

          • Naigrabzo on 20/04/2021 - 12:41

            @[Deactivated]: Apparently still not a luxury car compared to BMW or Bentley. :(

              @Naigrabzo: What are you talking about?

        isn't the model x already available? did they pause?

        i meant why there wasn't a discount on it, similar to the 3.

          I think my post was pretty clear, I'm not going to repeat myself.

    So what are people actually paying $65k for, aside from the 0-100 acceleration? (Which that kinda acceleration wont matter to most people).

    • ABA on 18/04/2021 - 12:14

      Batteries

      • rifter on 18/04/2021 - 12:35

          No. Legit question.

          Well… your comment is also factual.

    • knackers on 18/04/2021 - 22:01

      low centre of gravity, superior safety, FSD, low maintenance/running costs

        Low centre of gravity - mostly invalid because SUV is/has been the trend.

        Superior safety - most modern cars are very safe with lane keep assist, active cruise control etc.

        FSD - ?

        Low maintenance/running cost - invalide where an i30 is $30k with the left over for maintenance.

        So… why Tesla?

        • Naigrabzo on 20/04/2021 - 12:43

          You could compare the Tesla with the Hyundai Ioniq electric car if you like. Still the Hyundai has to the driven while the Tesla drives itself. :)

          • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2021 - 16:04

            @Naigrabzo: No. I am comparing an electric to non electric car.

              @[Deactivated]: You can compare but the price is higher for electric due to newer technology. They are recouping R&D. Electric should otherwise be cheaper as it's a simpler engine design.

              Ie no need for engine lubrication system ie oil lines, filters and changes.

              I am all for $30k electric cars!!!!

                @Naigrabzo: Me too. But so far people are crazy over a "bargain" $65k+on road electric vehicle.

                  @[Deactivated]: Nah man. I bet no one has bought one.

                  I wouldn't buy the Hyundai for $50k or the Nissan Leaf.

                  @[Deactivated]: Haha. Based on comments and upvote on this page. Seems I am part of the minority that doesnt have or appreciate one for what is currently cost. Anyway. I rest my case.

      Self driving in motorways, over the air updates, comfy interior, very quiet ride, green tech, cheap 'fuel', simplicity of maintenance, being early adoptors. etc.

  • sepol on 18/04/2021 - 16:07

    I just ordered mine, great price reduction !

  • kent08 on 18/04/2021 - 17:27

    • Steptoe on 18/04/2021 - 20:27
