Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather::A number of Tesla owners have taken to Reddit after their front cameras fogged up and stopped working in cold weather, leaving several features, including the US$10,000 FSD Beta, inoperable. Tesla has declined to assist to these customers, despite many of their vehicles being covered under warranty.

Why do people still buy Teslas? Serious question

Edit - great responses everyone. It was a genuine question & I appreciate the candor

  1. They don't know better

  2. Status symbol

  3. Weird obsession with Elon

  1. They are tech nerds and want an EV.

It use to be this was excusable. But there are a lot of options now, no?

Yeah. Wanting a Tesla 5 years ago is very different from still wanting a Tesla today, in 2023, after Elon has told everyone, in public, exactly who he was.

Elon was pretty out and out an asshole back then too. He just wasn't in the news 24/7 for being an asshole, just once every week or so.
