When Tesla does its half baked and hot garbage (sometimes), until updates fixes it over time....some features are still worse than current vehicles and hopefully updates will get it up to par.

I didn't mean exactly like Apple, I probably should have worded that better. The thing is, Tesla has gotten better with releasing updates, so far getting on average two to sometimes three updates per month since May, my Tesla has only gotten better. Now if you want to see buggy software, you don't have to go any further than my Polestar, which I also love, BTW

. Computer on wheels, that's the best way to describe a BEV.

As I stated earlier, I don't agree with everything they do, but at this point I'm all in, no regrets

Apple did some nice work with their CPU design but mostly they iterate, nothing new from them. What they excel at is keeping people hostage in their ecosystem.

The "Tesla" group of companies is attempting to solve far, far more difficult problems.

this thread should have the year number removed from the title, or maybe we should start another for 2024.

We Jim Cramer'd Apple stock by singing their praises.

Meanwhile TSLA continues to go absolutely nowhere.

I actually sold about a quarter of my Apple shares ....and put it in TSLA at around $209

. I'm waiting for TSLA to hit around $300....then I'm going to sell about half, and wait for it to drop again. With my luck, it will just shoot sky high LoL

I hope for you that this is wrong, but on the Tesla forums they're claiming there are no referral bonuses at present. They stopped on 1/1.

Don't know if referrals are valid for me but even if they are not gonna happen. Pretty much everyone I know is anti EV, 99% of the reasons are misinformation.
