Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.
Ehz he didn’t built an automotive platform. Other people did that, he bought it and green it mostly through controversy and by now it’s quite clear that Tesla’s are quite shit to own and drive.
…I mean, I love my Tesla, and most people I know with one feel similarly. I’m not a fan of the way the company is run, and association with Elon makes me want to hurl these days, but I have no qualms with the cars themselves.
I don’t love your Tesla, because they keep almost running me down because their self-driving bullshit doesn’t know what a zebra crossing is.
Teslas are awesome to own and drive. It’s an annoying checklist that takes an hour when you first get the car to make sure your car isn’t one of the ones with the bad panels, doors that don’t close nicely, etc., But you can decline the car if it has any of those things, or they fix it right away. Once you are through that part it’s really a great vehicle, especially if you have a charger at home. Gad stations are super inconvenient if you think about it.

By whose metric? Tesla owners have a 97% approval rating. I know tons of people that drive Teslas and they have zero maintenance other than tires and windshield wiper fluid. Hate on Elon all you want, but to assume the cars are shit because he is shit is just juvenile.
I mean I will readily accept that the internet is a fickle place and nothing is ever as black and white as it would seem but there has been a metric fucktonne of examples lately for why Teslas are just straight up bad cars. Cheap materials, poorly wired electronics, broken features, etc.
Like just casually scroll through any car subreddit or other online forum and you’ll see people recording their Teslas just breaking down.
Zero maintenance is a bold claim. They have repair people that go to your house to replace parts when they break.
But yet they keep selling a shit ton. And if you talk to an average owner they love their Tesla. It’s almost as if you are looking at a biased sample that is not representative of the vast majority of owners.
hilarious you’re so heavily downvoted for this. there are some rabid people on here who can only see negatives. I agree Tesla’s are great to drive and I know plenty of peple who own them and love them and have had zero issues, and also saved a tonne on fuel, and maintance. trying to dismiss all Teslas as garbage is just utter stupidity and honestly sounds like sour grapes to me.
Elon is a awful human and I wish with all my heart he’d have a sudden TIA. but tesla cars are not Elon musk.
ps your downvotes just serve to make my point 💪 stronger.
Maybe they’re being downvoted for the ludicrous claim that a car, even an electric car, has zero maintenance issues other than tires and wiper fluid. It’s not like it has zero moving parts.
