    I thought the cars were mediocre at best and overpriced. The more I learned the less i liked them.

    • Primary door function being completely electronic with a warning that using the manual release could damage the car.
    • Proprietary navigation, so traffic data only comes from other Tesla’s.
    • Lack of lidar, which has been the standard for accident avoidance tech since forever.

      That’s one of the things that was completely baffling to me. It’s really changing a model that was established, functional, tried and tested, just for the sake of appearing cool and with no regard at all for the drawbacks (which kind of sums up Tesla engineering, I suppose).
