I have a new Prius and my parents have a Tesla. I am very happy with my Prius but my dad is always trying to make me feel like I should have bought a Tesla and I made the wrong choice. Now he's scared to visit me in the city because someone might scratch a swastika in his car. So who made the wrong choice again?
Toyota >>>>> Tesla
Any day
Even without all of that you are better off getting the Prius. It means you don't have to deal with the utter nightmare that is Tesla customer support, It's always worth thinking about what happens when something inevitably goes wrong.
Plus of course you can always take the Prius to a generic mechanic. But they never have pants for Tesla's I don't think Tesla let them out. They are like Apple in that respect.
I have seen Priuses with 700.000 km on their odometer for sale. Tesla drivers are lucky if they can reach 200.000.
The new prius looks really nice. I sat in one recently and the headroom isn't great, but I'm 6'4" and I was sitting in the back.
I'll admit, it's small inside. But I'm short (5'2") and my husband isn't exactly tall (5'7"), and it's perfect for both of us.
Rode in a Prius 5 deep to a wedding reception and was kind of surprised by how much room there was inside ( first gen, I was one of 3 in the back) and the torque was impressive as well.
I still see a lot of them on the road , so the build quality is probably superior to tesla junk
The Prius V is spacious AF. Hopefully they make a new version of that as well.
The new Prius actually looks good!
The only Tesla that looks decent is the Model S.
Model 3, looks just generic, the 2023 facelift looks less bad.
Model Y just looks terrible, the facelift makes it even worse.
Model X, just what the fuck? Its like is a long car crashed into s wall in a world with cartoon physics, squishing it.
All Teslas I have seen also have two terrible things in common.
The headlights constantly blind oncomming drivers.
The indicator are WAY too subtle next to the headlights, here in Sweden we have a law that require headlights to be on then the car is on, this means that when I see an oncomming Tesla at a crossing I have to look straight at the headlights and try to notice a slight shift in the white balance, while being blinded at night.

They all look almost exactly the same. The S I'm more familiar with because it's been around longer and is a noticeably longer car than the other two, but I'm not sure I could even tell the 3 and the Y apart!
Yeah to me it's: big Tesla, medium Tesla and Porsche-ish Tesla.
I got a used model 3 after we found out he was an asshole but before we knew he was a nazi. I think the 3 looks great, even a little better than the S imo. The X is ridiculous. The only Tesla that's incompatible with a roof rack is an SUV? What a joke.
The headlights constantly blind oncomming drivers.
Yeah. One of the first things I did was disable the auto high beams.
Teslas genuinely looks like they were designed by a committee of engineers who looked up google images of sedans 5 minutes before the meeting.
I don't think customers are responsible for the behavior of a demented CEO. That's meme-driven thinking that can't process the world unless it's simplified to GoodGuys vs BadGuys.
Good god, this story is so fake that it hurts. It makes me cringe that someone would type this out.
The only thing that's missing is that everyone started clapping.
Story's fake but the swastikas being painted on cyber trucks right now are real.
yeah people should stop adding the entire room being interested in random conversations to their fake stories. an entire room of people doesn't even listen to a fucking lecture that they paid for.
I read your comment out loud and everyone in my room stared clapping.
disclaimer: I’ve been driving a Leaf for 12 years.
I used to think being snarky was only “powerful” in high school, but since people started living their lives on social media it seems to have become the new alpha-bro thing.
My best friend has spent the past 2 years in Mongolia. He said all the herders there drive Priuses in the winter time when it is too cold to ride their horses. Apparently the Prius is the ultimate off roading vehicle in sub zero temperatures.
Even in the cities, almost everyone drives a Prius or at least something Toyota. Drop a streetview anywhere in UB and it's Prius-land as far as the eye can see. Also tons of them in Caucasus countries. But, weirdly enough, exceedingly rare in Russia. I still wonder why that is.
Back in the day you could call someone's iPhone a Blackberry to annoy them. Though in this case Steve Jobs is a nazi
Something tells me if he was alive today he'd be aligning with the Nazi party anyway.
He went whichever way the wind was blowing. Think Different. Like smell bad, wash your feet in toilets, and screw your business partner different.
car brain seems powerful where these people live (I would assume the US)
YOU WOULDN'T MISNAME A CAR
Oh, so it's like a Prius, but it can't run off gas?
Nowadays I only admit I have a Tesla if people ask. If they call it something else I’m relieved.
Funny because "the new Prius" is 10x more of a flex than a Tesla, one of the most common, cheapest, EVs that you can buy on your phone
Don't diss toyotas the men in technicals will pick you up any day now
The amount of ThatHappened.jpg in this thread could blot out the sun.
Like 90% of these types of stories you see on the Internet are little mind fantasies. They imagine that's what would happen if they actually said those things. They never actually did.
I would feel very comfortable betting money that most of the these are complete bullshit or at the very minimum a sharp deviation from what actually happened when they said their little line lol.
