Got a purchase brewing on a model S p90dl. My brother is telling me to absolutely not buy it as any issue with the car will take forever. I have read some horror stories... what say you?

Hands down, without any question or even a second thought - a Model S is what I'd take.Silver GS, so if you were offered the choice of a new GSF or new model S, which would you take? Im trying to decide on getting rid of my 14GS for a 2016.6 MS. What say you?
So the service horror stories are just that. They exist, sure, but there are tens of thousands of positive service stories daily that don't get told. I've had my share of positive and negative stories personally. Would I buy another Tesla? I just did... for my wife. I've had just as many crappy ICE dealership service dept stories as what I hear on here. Go to any type of car forum and you'll see service horror stories. I think people are drawing comparisons between the former days of Tesla service (when there were only 50,000 Teslas on the road) to today's service (with what, 700,000 cars on the road?). Big difference. It's like hearing people complain that airlines aren't the same as they were 30 years ago... they're not, but they still get the job done.
Buy it. You'll never go back.
For every 1 Tesla horror story their's many thousands of Tesla's that have had no problems. These types of forums you only hear from the people who cry loudest about the smallest of problems.Got a purchase brewing on a model S p90dl.

I think it’s even more granular than that. While I believe the stories and disappointment of Bay Area and Los Angeles owners, I’ve had nothing but great service from both Monterey and Fresno.I'm in California where there are a ton of Teslas and I've had mostly bad experiences with service since the Model 3 launch.
I think it depends on what area of the country you are in also.

Needing body work is a real concern. My son put a deposit on a M3 day 1 ordering opened and took delivery of his AWD LR November 6, 2018. On December 6, 2018, a lady ran a stop sign; he got his car back just shy of 4 months later. Denver had 5 repair shops at the time and it was the same story for every one. Most wouldn't even look at his car for 2-4 weeks.My biggest fear is not having to navigate the service organization, but rather needing body work. By all accounts that’s still an unmitigated shitshow.
