    A great honest review. I never thought I'd also be watching Linus for car buying advice. This has honestly been the most useful Tesla review video I've seen so far. I really like how you broke down some of the practical stuff others overlooked when focusing on performance. Honestly the wind shield wiper thing alone is a deal breaker for me living in the rainy PNW. I was so close to buying one too. I think I'm going to wait and see how the new EVs from VW motors turn out.

      Max of 72, Lowest you can "set it" and lowest it will stay active is totally different as well. It will stay active at a full stop and monitor in front of it as the traffic starts to move. As he said its a little buggy at the super low speeds from a dead stop. But for example if its a traffic jam it seems much smoother while vehicles are just coasting or slowing/speeding up as openings or traffic speed shifts.

The driver should have used the stalk button temporarily and pulled over or used the voice controls (which I presume Linus wasn't aware of). That being said all of his criticisms were still valid (they really should have a physical switch for the wipers and any other safety related features) and like him I like the good things Tesla is doing and hate the bad.

      I too think the build quality must be better, but scaling production 60% year over year is really hard as well.
      They are scaling up and improving all aspects and the further we go, the better they will be.

      @@onedriftyboy that's like saying Edison was the good guy because history class hasn't covered him much.
      Musk is awesome at collecting venture Capital for his pet science projects, burning out the actual talent and throwing prototypes on the market (some of which could have been average quality with few weeks of improvement, not done in years).
      That leaves him impressive, not however necessarily favored.

    the thing with a subscription base is, it feels right and cheap for one thing you want to do. but once everything you do is subscribed, you will soon realize that u actually being robbed instead.

      My issue with subscription model is that if the hardware is paid for. It shouldn’t be limited by software for paid add on or subscription.
      Imagine if Intel charged us a subscription to overclock our hardware. Intel if you’re reading this, don’t get any idea.
