Tesla sold over 5m vehicles, but Leaf was only at 600k in early 2022 (not sure how many have been made since then). Edit: Got a closer data point for Tesla, they were at 2.3m at the end of 2021. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Chronicon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) Honestly, I know it's not a popular thing to say here, but I would be tempted to buy a Tesla if it wasn't for how shitty they are of a product. I hate Musk and his fascist shit, but then again I don't know if any car manufacturers are any "good" politically. It's a nice looking electric car and aren't exorbitantly expensive. I also hate that they don't have anything physical in the car other than a tablet though, and they can be remotely controlled by Tesla. I'm just trying to do something electric but I just wish there were Chinese EVs available, I would just happily go with one of those! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Chronicon@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago they are up there in terms of most intrusive spying and technology bullshit. Yeah... I could probably deal with it if they spontaneously combusted but that is probably the biggest dealbreaker for me, given what I may be talking about or listening to in the car. permalink fedilink source parent
