I own a 2008 Audi. It drives fine.

does it work without 5G?

To be fair, a 2014 Tesla was a very early iteration. My 2018 Model 3 has had no issues at all in 7 years, as far as I can tell it operates the same as it did when it was new, aside from the initial battery life hit you take when it’s brand new.

give elon a tweet and cc: the tesla investor forums. That seems scandalous

I have a 2018 Model 3 and in 7 years I have had no issues with reliability. The charge port is a bit wonky and stays up/down, sometimes I have to force it up. That’s the only problem in 7 years, and it’s just a small occasional annoyance that hasn’t bothered me enough to have fixed.

Battery life is still great. I can still easily take cross country road trips. Other than the initial battery life hit you take when the car is new, there isn’t enough degradation for me to even be aware of.
