Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

    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.

      My BIL just bought one, gas is around $6/gallon in Hawaii and there is basically no mass transport. He tried to buy another EV but there was a 6-8 month wait-list. He loves the car, it is what it is. QC has improved over the past few years.

      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.

          Well the model Y is the most popular car sold world wide so it’s hard to argue that they are “shit”.

        ikr who would have thought a person who had zero issues with a car would go on a car forum and complain about it? google literally any car and you’ll see forums of people complaining about them. does this mean All cars are demonstrably shitty? by your metric it does. which is stupid.

          lol your point is actually the opposite logic. You’re so close! Only reading about complaints makes you think that car is shitty. I’m actually saying that reading about complaints on forums is a horrible way to assess car quality regardless of car make.

            oh you’re so close too! I was actually agreeing with you. try lowering your defensive level 5 points and read it again.
