I never understand why you guys find it necessary to vent here. Go to your new brands website and enjoy the problems they have. Nobody builds a car that is 100 percent perfect or designed for everyone.
ok so yes this is a joke

but yes I agree actually with this sentiment when people post things like this in a serious way :)

I too am considering switching! I just can't handle driving without fart sounds. Although Patrick has been doing his best to help with that.
sounds like you need a cabin biofilter option as well. ?

OK, you all know I've been on here for a long time, and very excited about my Mach-E. I finally got one after all the postponements and wait!

but after driving it for a while, it's clear it's not for me. Even though like most Americans, I almost never road trip, and like most BEV owners, I can and do charge at home, the Supercharger network is clearly a make or break thing for me. Proprietary is the way to go, baby!

Plus, I want to know that if something breaks on my car, there's a good chance I can find the replacement part at Home Depot, Lowe's, Menard's, whatever.

And I have no patience for software bugs... and Tesla is well-known for their completely bug free software.

and who can live without falcon wing doors? I mean come on now!

plus I'm told that I'll be able to rent my Tesla out as one of one million robotaxis by the end of 2020 - that is so very close that I've already built that in to my financial planning... it's kind of a requirement for me to afford the car actually.

and there's no Start button!

you may wonder, why wouldn't I just go Model Y? well, truth is, I need instruments in front of me - I mean, the car will fully self-drive of course, so it's redundant; I'll be sleeping in the car, with a weight tied to the steering wheel like any good Tesla owner, but I still like the safety blanket of a normal instrument cluster, so no Model Y it is, and I want something with interior cargo room, so an S won't cut it.

those of you that have been on here for a while and haven't Ignored me (I see you!) know that I can be counted on to provide screen shots of the purchase process. so those will be coming once I have them.

I look forward to sharing my joy with you all.

Who's going to come with me on this journey?

ps I know a good tattoo artist if you're interested - look at the great work I just had done:

Everyone knows that there is just too much that goes wrong with software, so as soon as I get my MME I'm immediately trading it in for one of those true old school EV's that are guaranteed not to have any software bugs...

Yeah. Bet it's still pulled by a mustang or two.

I didn't know, that in the US they celebrate as well the first of April fools... now I know, thank guys ??.
I returned also my Mach E order for a space X rocket... by far faster and better range than any EV... I received a good order from Elon, because I have as well a tattoo ?
They've stopped doing fire insurance on the rockets though

glad we could bring you some joy in Switzerland. I mean you're always happy anyway with your cheeses and chocolates and cough drops and all but we try to do what we can.

is tattoo removal covered by your universal health care? ? what about rocket-related fire and bone injuries? ?

I'm switching too. But I'm going with an Audi E-Tron. I found one from a dealer for $60. Not $60k, $60!
you have to move to the SF Bay area though to get that price. so ... ?‍♂
