Just about 10 months ago, Tesla surprised everyone at its Tesla Semi unveiling event when it introduced a next-gen Roadster with absolutely jaw-dropping specs. With a 0-60 MPH time of just 1.9 seconds, a 0-100 MPH time of 4.2 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 250 MPH, Elon Musk at the time proudly …
To the surprise of many, Tesla this past June actually managed to meet its stated goal of manufacturing 5,000 Model 3 units per week.

There are a few diamonds in the rough out there, but for the most part automaker infotainment systems are borderline offensive.
