I guess if small car is more important than actually hackable smart cart - then I get you. Rivian will be bringing R2 across the world FWIW.

I'm dealing with my parents Kona EV right now and I can't help but cringe how out dated it feels. Three buttons just to start the car and I need to lock it myself. FFS. And that's on top of myriad of reliability issues.

I get it, Tesla has a bad omen for some who mingle deep in far left. But from technical standpoint it is incredibly well executed. Its touchscreen is second to none. Climate is easier to use than hardware buttons on many cars. It can be intimidating at first, simply because people assume you'll be fiddling with it all the time, but it's simply not the case.

That doesn’t sound like you get it at all.

Tesla has been the benchmark for a long time. Longer than I thought they would be actually.
