  • And I wouldn’t have forgiven those cars either. 60k$ is a lot of money and you need to get a lot of car for it. Just getting a vehicle that’s reliable and will serve you well for years requires no more than 15k$ maybe 20k$. So everything above that is luxury, be it in number of seating or quality or something else.

    For 60k$, you can get:

    • Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024;
    • Jaguar XF 2024;
    • BMW 5 Series 2024;
    • Audi A6 2024.

    You know when I’d go for Tesla over any of these? Never. More to the point you can get EVs from most of these manufacturers at about same price range. And rest assured panels are not misaligned there or car scrapes tires off after 6 months or that steering wheel falls apart after three months of use. But if nothing else matters, distribution network and service centers these manufacturers have is huge so servicing your car and finding parts is easy, or at least significantly easier. With Tesla you can only go to Tesla. There’s no authorized dealers or service centers.

    It actually is, if done right. But doing it right means you have to do things properly and care about doing them properly. In general data collection about various things can be useful, from optimizing energy consumption of your home to making your own life a tiny bit easier.

    The problem is, manufacturers saw the potential and rushed in to be the first on the market and forgot that online things need maintenance and patching. Goes to show how selfless the admin job is. As long as things keep working properly no one even knows they exist.

    I have wifi cameras which were never allowed online from first second they were connected to my network. But on the other hand I have few air filters that I do allow to send data so I can contribute to global statistics on air quality and similar.
