A car is transportation. There are hundreds of models which provide transportation. You like electric, well that narrows your scope. But that's your choice. The other means of providing transportation are all available to you.

Great, we're getting somewhere!
Now, let's look at that survey again. Let's assume that x% where x= {0,1,2,3...100} of people say that their choice is EV, charging infrastructure, quick acceleration. It's their choice, but that's their scope. So they have a very narrow scope they started with.
Wouldn't' that then imply that SOME of the 91% of people who would definitely buy again, would only definitely buy again because there is no other car that can compete with the Tesla at the moment, as defined in their scope?
If so that doesn't mean that 91% of people are happy with their Tesla (that's the point most of us are trying to make). If not, then well... there's no hope.
I answered that way upthreadAnd how many angels can dance on the head of a pin? Why don't all of you debate that as well

And my point is that most people who were unhappy with a decision wouldn't say "definitely yes". They might say probably or even yes but "definitely" is a strong reply.
.
At this point, would I buy a 2nd Tesla or a Model 3? NO
* Poor Service
* Poor Trim Quality
* Long downtime if you need parts
These above would need to get resolved first...
.
And I'd vote definitely yes. I like having high speed internet.
So you can't make the assumption that everyone would do what you did. Which is the original point we started with. You can't assume that 91% of people are happy. It's less than that.
Is it high? I'm sure it is. But it's not 91% (could it be 90%? yes. could it be 85%? yes. could it be 75%? yes. could it be 50%? yes -- some are more likely than the others, but we don't have the data)

No question that not everyone was happy. 9% to be exact. But for someone to respond with "definitely yes" (as I said above, they could've chosen a number of weaker affirmative answers) is a pretty strong statement.

But that's not the question. The question is would you have bought your first Tesla.
Do you know how misleading surveys can be?
If the options were:
1. Definitely Yes
2. Definitely No
The survey could've also been:
1. Probably Yes
2. Probably No
.... and the results would've been the same.
Don't hang too much on the "modifying" words...

I'm not, but I took this survey and while I may not remember word for word it went something like this:
1. Definitely Yes
2. Probably Yes
3. Maybe
4. Probably Not
5. Definitely Not
I have taken these every year from CR for 30 years. I'm a life CR member ;-)
If we were talking C&D or some other for profit organization, I would be suspicious. But CR is as straight as they come and they have no axe to grind.
