    I just ditched my Model S. My friends just ditched their Model Y and 3.

    Two people I work with were planning to get a Tesla and have since gone with another brand.

    I fully believe Musk will lie about sales and prop up TSLA however necessary, but the fact is it is dying fast.

        I originally wanted a Lucid Air, but the majority ownership by the Saudi PIF kind of weirded me out. I considered Rivian, but after driving both the R1T and the R1S there was just something about them that didn’t feel comfortable to me due to their overall size and the visibility over the hood.

        I ended up going with a Cadillac Lyriq. I will say on the range, acceleration, and ease of use side - I miss the Tesla. But in terms of road noise, general interior comfort, and overall ride quality I would say I like it better. It’s very roughly the size of my Model S in length and width and the hood visibility is better than Rivian, so I like it. The price was just about right complete with lease incentives. Super Cruise is great on freeways so far, but I’ll miss having similar capabilities on non-highway roads - but, I’ll live without it.

        Charging at home is basically the same. Charging while out is nearly the same as I also got the NACS adapter.

      And the cats out of the bag. Even those who don’t pay much attention are going to have a hard time ignoring the lies that roll out of his mouth.
