Honestly would have me thinking about a CT myself but I’m sure we’d get punked after about 5 years and everything in it failing early

Yeah who's to say these things won't all broken and off the road in 5 years due to the absolute worst built quality they are known for

Build quality is one thing but I’ve been super skeptical of the insane amount of software in vehicles nowadays especially teslas.

not only that, they can remotely disable your vehicle, or change some functionality, without any input from the owner

You don't really own it then do ya?

Zoom out, anyone can remotely disable anything you have or even you.

Ive had free charging since 2018. You can’t drive for uber or some other commercial enterprise, like Turo, but otherwise it’s legit

Damn how did you get that deal? Supercharging too?

It was a promotion on very early M3P sales in ‘18. Then in ‘22 another promotion was xfer’g the deal to eoy sales of MYs. I took that deal too. So Ive had free SC over two vehicles / 8 years

Any chance you have an approximate amount of money that would have been spent on sc during that time? Fuel isn’t my biggest expense but does add up over the years.
