Welp....that's it for me. My dumb ass went and bought a Tesla.

[RickeyRomance]

I had to go and be a techie with a mid-life crisis and buy this goddamn car. ;0) I get the car and we both get the Tesla app. Five cameras, GPS everywhere, weight sensors in the seats. A person can remotely tell what radio station you're listening to and even the temperature inside the car in real time.

Dude, I'm rolling down Roosevelt last week and my wife calls me, no lie, and says 'Honey, what are you doing driving on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens?'

I had to tell her that I had a craving for some halal chicken over rice. She told me to get her some and she said that she liked the podcast that I was listening to. That's her polite suburban housewife way of saying 'get your ass off that whore street because you're driving a giant surveillance vehicle, stupid'.

So I get the chicken over rice and hop right on the highway and go home. If you have a significant other, it is quite literally impossible to monger owning one of these things and she has access to the app.

So yeah...pretty much forced retirement (unless I use her car). It was a great run, though.

And you can’t even drive it thru a wall… fucking thing will stop….lol

sue Elon Musk for that.

Most new cars have some sort of app and locator service. Buy the Tesla keyfobs much more convenient and you dont have to give your wife app access or take the bus/subway.

Holy shit….

Rick, I feel for you man.

The Tesla app was the main reason I didn't get one. Even though the wife really liked it after test driving her friend's Model X. It's not just the people you share the app with. Everything filters through Tesla's servers. What Tesla does with all that data is still unclear.

As a rule I don't like giving Musk any of my money. But his stocks have made me a lot of money.

Remove her as a driver temporarily and add her back in. She will be notified so you have to handle that part

I don't know. She's suspicious enough to call him when he was cruising down Roosevelt Ave. What do you think would happen if she was blocked?

This is why I'll never own an electric car. My friend has one and his energy bill per month, plus the cost of installing a charger at his home is the same or more than his gas usage.

Toyota's take is interesting: https://energyminute.ca/news/toyotas-1690-rule-the-case-for-hybrids/

 

[krideynyc]

In CA, you can install Solar Battery Banks to charge your EV. Reducing the need to be on grid. NYC doesn't allow battery banks, and direct solar charging is way too slow. That's why I went with a RAV4 Hybrid for the wife. Nearly double the gas mileage. And most critical of all, gas and go for long trips.

That's very ironic

bro feels gulity

 

[mccovey]

Technology blows . I wish cell phones were never invented .

 

[Nofishes]

Possibly find an alibi venue, park there, then 7 train or R train Broadway, bus or citibike to Roosevelt.

 

[Bobo11]

I call a Tesla a communist party car cause they all look alike and you are monitored by Tesla and everyone with access to the app. That is why i bought a Porshe which is a better value.

 

[camilosomo]

I laughed so hard. Thank you for this

hahaha, you silly thing
