I bought a Tesla car and I am already regretting it.
Never again will I buy a Tesla. Never!

If Tesla wants to write to me, they can do so using the mail in the “never again Tesla” logo. And if BMW wants to write use the BMW logo link.

I was lured by my younger brother to replace my BMW 118 diesel car with a Tesla 3. He had bought himself a model Y Juniper just weeks before.
But he has also not had a car with automatic gear, LIDAR system and other good systems in the car before.

Little did I consider his lack of knowledge in regards to what other cars is capable of. And now I am stuck with a fucking Tesla 3.

The car breaks hard if for example a car far ahead crosses my path, even though that car will have passed before I reach it. The Tesla does not just slow down if it can calculate it to be necessary. I do believe this is because Tesla has saved little money on NOT installing a LIDAR because Tesla is the only car I have tried that is this stupid. And if the sun is more or less in front of the car, the camera canot see (again missing the damn LIDAR) and thus turns of the autopilot. Heck The car way to often turns of the autopilot if the camera in the windscreen sports a tiny bit of dirt on the window, and using the washer fluid does not remove this problem. I have actually had to clean the windscreen in front of the camera while parked using proper glass cleaning fluid before the car (for a few days only) stopped giving me a fault signal and turning off the autopilot.

I have now learned that the car slams on the breaks if there is a bicyclist in the side of the road, even if I have made room for the cyclist. I fear that someone in a car behind me may become quite pissed at me for breaking so hard, that is if the car behind does not slam into me for almost stopping in the middle of the road for no proper reason.

It also tends to slow down in curves, so powerful that it actually uses the breaks so I can feel it, but I don’t want it to do so. I cannot turn it off and it even does this if it thinks that the curve is tighter than it actually is. But I am supposed to be the master of the car, yet the car does whatever it believes to be the correct action regardless of me the owner, and this is in regards to several other dumb things with this car.

Even if I turn the desired auto pilot speed down with perhaps hust 2 km/h, the car breaks to slow down so I can feel the jerking of the car. The BMW knows to simply take of the pedal (so to speak), and let the car slow down normally.

The wipers may even run across a dry windscreen if the camera thinks it is necessary DESPITE me having set the wipers to OFF. That is so great to hear the wiper blades squeak across the entire windscreen knowing that small sand particles is now scratching it, because it is not very resilient against damage.

It does NOT always get the information as legal speed or lines correctly, and I would never trust a Tesla to be self driving.

If driving on our “highways” as I get close to a slower car or lorry, the car puts on the breaks hard when reaching the vehicle in front even at a greater distance than I want (and yes I know that I am supposed to be able to adjust this distance, but that seems only to be a pseudo not changing it at all). But it even keeps breaking even if I initiate using turn signals a lane change all the way until I am actually IN the other lane. I have had a BMW (including LIDAR) that knew not to keep slowing down instead of slamming on the breaks, to stop slowing down when I actively chose to pass the slower vehicle in a different lane.

For almost everything I want to adjust or change whilst driving i.e. changing the music volume or temperature in the car, I am forced to look away from the road in front of me, to look at the screen in the middle of the dashboard to pull-up a small menu and touch an even smaller spot on the screen. If I don’t hit the exact spot I either change nothing or change something else.

Actually as a Tesla user you will be spending a lot of time NOT looking at what may happen in front of the car, because almost everything has to be done on a screen. The few things that you can control on the left button on the wheel, is ether limited to one thing or you have to look at the screen to see what you are about to select anyway.

If I want to turn off / on the fog lights on the rear, I have to flash my high beam lights just to make a small menu appear on the screen, where I have to press on a tiny button to turn it off / on, again removing my eyes from the road ahead.

And the long beam absolutely refuses to allow me to turn them on when the sun is only starting to peek up on the horizon. Why is it the CAR that deside when I can turn the long beam and not ME. I am the fucking owner.

One of many things that Tesla has not installed to cut costs, is a LIDAR system, and relies on the camera in the front. But even manufactures of robot vacuums has found that LIDAR is necessary to make a proper map of the surroundings. Even robot vacuum manufactures out performs Tesla.

That the car has cameras all around is good, but why the heck does the car report several ”errors” over and over, every time I leave a well lit area. It must be something new to Tesla that it may actually be dark outside when the sun is down. There should not be any “errors” reported just because it is dark on both sides of the car during dark hours. Also the rear camera always gets covered in eigher salt or slush duting winter or just water mist during wet periods. Almost every day I have to give it a quick cleaning just to be able to see what is behind my car.

Way to often even minor idiotic believes of the car makes it turn of the autopilot and refusing to activate it again. It may even be that the windscreen is a little dirty in the view of the front facing camera, or even smaller errors. Again LIDAR fucking works despite dirty windscreen.

While having parked the car to get groceries or whatever, when returning to the car the car does not understand that I am the one standing right behind it with my phone on me, why I cannot open the trunk without having to get my phone out, get into the Tesla app and wait until the car gets it. Only then can I open the trunk, but now I have to ignore the BIG notification from the Sentry mode.

Dashcam viewer in my APP does not work as needed. It takes forever to connect and receive the video, if it actually gets the video at all which it rarely does.

When getting warm air out in the cabin, but having to switch to defogging the windscreen, apparently the air must come from somewhere else than the already warm heater, because the air is suddenly cold as outside temperature. And don't tell me that it is because the windscreen is cold when the car has been warming up before my drive. And why can I not have both air in the cabin AND defogging the windscreen, instead of having to NOT being able to see in front of the car OR freezing my face of.

Tesla has far far to much focus on a lot of useless gimmicks in the car such as Photobooth, sounds and lights, while functions that actually would make the car a bit smarter rarely works all that well. With all the important systems and more that does NOT work well in the car, a Tesla car is not a real car but just a stupid and expensive gadget or toy.

Only idiots that falls for all the promises and gadgets buys a Tesla, and unfortunately I am one of those. But never again will I own a Tesla. Never again.

The exterior paint is thin as tinfoil, and seems even able to become scratched if a large insect at full speed hits it head on. And the windscreen gets just as easily damaged by even tiny sand particles lifted by other vehicles in front.

When Tesla design my model 3 Highland, they thought it was a clever and most important cost cutting idea to remove the stalks that has been proven and tested and proven a great innovation in all cars up to Tesla. Now you have to press some small buttons on the wheel itself whilst steering the car at the same time, to signal left or right. Mind-bogglingly stupid. I was told by the not so old sales person that people get used to it, and you do get some used to it, but you never get fully used to it. And it often becomes difficult to turn on the signal whilst steering first left then shortly after right. And trust me you have to press the exact tight spot on the wheel or you turn on the high beam or nothing at all. Tesla cuts costs where ever they can even if it seems mighty stupid, but even Tesla has realized that the stalks is needed, and their cars following the model 3 Highland comes stalks starting already with the Y juniper. And now I can have a stalk installed in my model 3, but just not without paying a monster of a financial prize for Tesla’s stupidity.

Quite often the charging port cover pops open by itself without me having asked it to do so, just because I open the front door or the trunk. It should NOT open by itself, but only open when I instruct it to do so.

And why oh why shall the car make a sound for EVERY LITTLE THING, every little change in settings, every little adjustment or every error. Even when I turn the auto pilot ON or OFF = DING. A buddy of mine calls Tesla’s Ding-cars.

A shit gadget toy car - Lots of functions that does not work proper, and a lot of even basic functions that is absent.

Others may have a different opinion (good for them), but I have the right to have MY opinion.

I really have come to dislike Tesla cars and I want to sell my shitty Tesla 3 Highland toy car with towbar, and get me a BMW electric car instead. BMW does not have all the gadget settings and functions that Tesla’s does (of which only a few is not just gadgets), but what BMW DOES have is actually well made, thoroughly tested and fine tuned / modified so it works as intended. And BMW knows the importance of installing LIDAR in the front.

I hope so very much that BMW reads this site, and would give me a super offer on a new or close to new BMW electric car with towbar. BMW may write to me using the mail link within the BMW logo on this site


  Never again TESLA shit cars.
