I live in Toronto and it’s Tesla land over here. I see those things everywhere. I wish I could say this was because of the electric car thing, but I see those hideous cyber trucks almost daily, so there’s lots of Elon fuck boys here.

    I think you need to wait a generation of car buying before really coming to any conclusions.

    I bought a Model Y when they first came out and still drive it, but I’m 99% sure I’ll be “one and done” with Tesla once it’s time for me to buy my next car. There are some features of my Tesla that I like, but plenty I dislike as well. I don’t agree with Elons ideas of minimizing controls, relying on vision for all automation, etc. The idea of windshield wiper controls being a couple levels deep in touchscreen menus is a terrible idea.

    The only way I’d buy a second Tesla a few years down the line is if they gave up on the minimalist/touchscreen route and started reintroducing physical controls for most functions. But it’s a safe bet Elon will never allow that as long as he’s running things.

    When I do finally decide to replace my Tesla a few years from now there will be significantly more EV options out there. And with the J3400 connector now an open standard and Tesla SuperChargers supporting non -Tesla EV’s, there’s even less incentive to stay with a Tesla EV.

    I live in Toronto and, while I see Tesla cars often, I've never seen a cyber truck in person.

    Markham. I saw two at the same intersection.

    There's one that lives around Sherborne and Richmond as well 😁

    There's way too many swasticars here, but it's still like one third of what I used to see in NYC. One time one of those fuckers blocked a major intersection to shoot off illegal fireworks.
