Tesla introduced the fad of using an app for charging which other idiots promptly copied making the charging infrastructure a fucking nightmare.

Tesla introduced big screen few buttons which other car manufacturers copied, making a few model years of cars more dangerous than they have to be, thankfully manufacturers are rolling that shitty as trend back.

Tesla continues to make cars with shit reliability, and dangerous UX with no buttons or turning shit to touch buttons that should be that, e.g. the turning indicators.

In short fuck Tesla and Musk.

Tesla introduced the fad of using an app for charging

I understand why someone could be bothered by that. I've only ever used the Tesla and Chargepoint apps. I appreciate not having to take extra steps to pay and it all happens automatically, though I did have to set up separate accounts for each. I don't have any complaints about charging so far.

Tesla introduced big screen few buttons

Yeah I don't like that either. Fortunately there's been some push back on that lately. Plenty of physical buttons in the Kia & Hyundai EVs as far as I know. I hope that continues.

Tesla continues to make cars with shit reliability

Aside from the cybertruck I don't believe that's true. I know 3 people who've had Teslas (model 3 or S) for 5 or more years and they all say that it's the most reliable and lowest maintenance car that they've had. Again I agree with you on changing the physical buttons onto a touch screen buttons.

Tesla has done and is (generally) doing some great stuff. I think many of the poor decisions they've made as a company were driven by Elon. If he could just fuck off to Mars or drop dead or something and free up Tesla from the burden of his ketamine-fueled decisions that would be awesome.
