Ten years ago, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak still enthusiastically commented on his Tesla vehicle. But now he goes hard with the electric vehicles and with company managers Elon Musk.
• Steve Wozniak complains about miserable user experience at Tesla
• harsh criticism of mass layoffs in US authorities
• Wozniak locked on x
Steve Wozniak has been driving a Tesla since 2014 and was initially enthusiastic. So he raved about his model ten years ago: “I love it more than any other car I have ever obsessed”. However, the Apple co-founder has now made a significant change in meaning.
User -unfriendly Teslas
The Tesla vehicles on Wozniak fall through in particular in the case of user-friendliness. The menu navigation of the touchscreen is complicated and impractical, for which he listed concrete examples such as switching on the indicator, operation of the radio or opening the digitally controlled glove compartment. “Nothing makes sense in this car,” complained Wozniak on the sidelines of a technology conference over the US broadcaster CNBC.
“With every new change in the car it got worse and worse, and now it’s just a disaster in terms of user interface,” said Wozniak. “As someone who comes from Apple, the user interface – that is, the way you deal with technology – is the most important thing in the world for me. And Tesla is the worst of the world,” said the judgment of the computer pioneer, which is generally valued for expressing his opinion of Freiheraus.
In addition, he also does not trust Tesla’s “Full Self Driving” and “Autopilot” driving assistance functions. In this regard, he has concerns about security, he revealed. At Tesla, however, there is high hopes for fully self -driving cars (FSD), especially now that Donald Trump has moved into the White House and can provide regulatory relaxation.
Criticism Elon Musk
Wozniak also found harsh words for Tesla boss Elon Musk, who was entrusted by Trump with the management of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), an authority that is intended to optimize and reduce the efficiency of the Federal Government. “I definitely think that we should look for inefficiencies in the government,” he generally agreed to the idea, but he is bothered by Musk’s approach: “Simply mass layoffs … So you can’t lead a company”. Instead, it is important to find out what works and what does not work and then make the right changes, argues “The Woz”, whose opinion should be done more precisely in the reduction in bureaucracy, with a scalpel instead of a suggestion hammer “.
In this context, he also went to Elon Musk sharply sharply and accused him of bullying, i.e. bullying and arrogance. “Sometimes you become so rich through these large companies, and you are at the top – that will get to your head. Then you think that you are the most incredible and smartest person in the world and can dictate what you have to do,” he commented on the mass layoffs initiated by Musk in several federal authorities.
Closed at x
Elon Musk does not seem to like such criticism. As Wozniak reveals, his account in the social media platform X, which is owned by Musk, has been blocked for almost three months and all attempts to unlock his account had remained unsuccessful. He therefore suspects that the blocking is related to the fact that he criticized the quality of Tesla vehicles in several television interviews.
Headwind for Tesla
Elon Musk’s political engagement is increasingly becoming a burden for Tesla – there were public protests and boycott calls. In view of this loss of image, the brand suffers from falling sales figures and the group’s share price has recently declined significantly.
