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.

They are more affordable than most other EVs.

This is definitely not true.

As a quick point of comparison, lets compare a Mach-E to a Model 3 in the US.

  • The Mach-E starts at $43k and is eligible for a $3,750 tax credit, bringing it's cost to $39,250. And that is before the dealer fucks you over.

  • The Model 3 starts at $39k and is eligible for a $7,500 tax credit, bringing it's cost to $31,500. And there is no dealer to fuck you.

The Tesla is the much more economical car.

Compare something like an MG4.. £27k, so about $33k. Model 3 base model is £39k, so $48k.

US Tesla price is subsidised like crazy..
