I'm curious as to how everyone else is feeling about the company and its products now. I suppose "lost faith" might equate to 'will not buy another car from them unless something drastic changes' or 'would not recommend to a friend'.

Have you lost faith in Tesla?

I have no confidence that their current cars could ever be level 4 autonomous. However, having enjoyed almost 50,000 miles of relaxed, almost trouble free motoring over 3 years during which the cars have improved significantly through free software updates I have no complaints.

Not at all, on my second M3 and have recommended to many friends and family who are also all happy.
I wonder what prompted your poll?
As far as shares are concerned, they have obviously dropped significantly, but so have all other large car manufacturers.

We are on our 3rd and they are great as for making life easy. Unfortunately the removal of stalks, radar and sensors dont do it for me and going forward, Im hoping apple comes up with something.
Nope.
Just bought my second new vehicle from them. Will likely buy a third.
Nothing has changed with Tesla despite the market swings and the headlines Space Karen has been attracting recently. The block and mute features on Twitter are underrated. Don't give a crap about removal of USS etc. this isn’t my first cyber rodeo.

Fundermentally I think my M3P is a great drivers car just let down by the auto crap. All the cars I have owned previously have been compromised so this is no different. I do think this will be my last tesla though, as they are common as muck now and I like to have something that stands out from the crowd.
I've had 2 M3LR's.
After their handling....not the removal itself per se...of the USS debacle (car ordered in May, private cash purchase when USS part of the spec.. no notification / communication whatsoever of the spec change either before or after delivery) I don't expect to be buying another Tesla.

My view, as a second Tesla owner, is I am thoroughly disheartened by the promises that were made for the cars in the European region (which includes UKNI) some four years ago. I now find the software updates a nuisance rather than something to look forward to. Some feedback from Tesla on progress, timescales etc might provide optimism but of course, it is never forthcoming. On the plus side, I am impressed with the hardware engineering and capability of the car. The biggest plus is that I never have to go near a dealer for 'servicing'. Would I recommend them? With the reservations above, possibly. Would I buy a third? Unlike the 'tick-in-the-box' way I purchased my second, unless there is a major step forward, I would look very carefully at what else will be available in two years time before making a decision.
I wouldn’t say I’ve lost faith in Tesla, but they don’t provide what I want. In my next car I want:
I can’t see Tesla providing any of these, which means my first Tesla will also be my last.
More comfort and refinement. The M3 is waaaaay too noisy at motorway speeds.
A decent binnacle display.
A HUD.
Acres of real dead cow. The vegan “leather” looks and feels like no leather I’ve ever seen and just helps make the interior of the car look cheap. Which it is.
A few physical buttons for HVAC.
Software updates that don’t remove features or break something that previously worked.

Ha, the fanboys and the true believers are likely to disagree with anyone who has the temerity to criticise their beloved Tesla or Musk the Messiah, even when that criticism is deserved.
Understandable to me, this kind of thread usually just turns in to a pity party just like the removal of USS thread where a bunch of furious people just sit there in a misery circle complaining about unimportant stuff they can’t change.
Yep, that sums up what I think. Tesla charge premium prices but the interior of the M3 is anything but premium. And I’m not criticising the simplicity, which I like, but it just looks and feels cheap.

faith
1 complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
2 strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof.
For the record which version are we refering to here? Seems either could apply to some on here. For the record i never had either type to lose but that is not an option in the survey.

No is the short answer.
The long answer is that I am very happy with my car.
Im also happy to report that TV autopilot is better than the older version with the radar. I know that is a controversial view but it’s the reality of my experience.
I think they have lost their marbles when it comes to current pricing. The Model 3 SR is not a £50k EV but that’s the price if you want anything other than white. £42k a year ago was pushing the envelope IMO.
The USS thing is not confidence inspiring but I’m not impacted currently and don’t plan on buying another car so I’m monitoring closely and keeping an open mind.
As for stocks, I’d have put Tesla in the same category as bitcoin, lots of hype, limited tangible value. The company was over valued and it was obvious to anyone looking at it objectively. It still is over valued IMO.
As for FSD, it’s £6.5k so and I just can’t comprehend it adding £6.5k of value so I couldn’t give two cares about it. If it was £1-2k they might peak my interest.
As for super chargers, the blame is clearly with those who enable the infrastructure to be built, aka the DNOs, planning and other associates red tape. It’s not just tesla having issues there. We are getting side loading and USB-C on iPhones soon, the changes of super chargers remaining a walled garden are near zero.

Or spoil your ballot paper?Whilst on the subject... I think we need the option to abstain
