Interesting recent post from
@kevroc. Both my cars are 2017 S & 3. I have an early build on 3. VIN's in 2000's. Car has never failed me. Like left me on the side of the road. I like to go lot's of crazy places. For me cars are cars. I drive 50k plus a year. As long as they don't leave me on the side of the road I am usually good, I could have just about anything I could want or buy. I still choose a Tesla.
Does it have some quirks. Sure. It just seems to me the OP might want a car utopia in a Tesla. For some it is. Just like for some brands people just love their Nissan for example. Things break. 1st gen seat in my 3 passenger seat adjuster broke. Oh well I got it fixed for $89. I think there have released 2 more better versions of seats.
Some will say see. Car is a POS.
If one throws their hands up and says I can't handle these situations, or why did my windshield get a chip in it. Well might move on to something else. Say an Ixfiniti(really a nissan). So if you are inclined to not join the groups of the "Some" it is a sweet ownership experiences with some bumps. Life is better with bumps.
Insurance is up to the holder and so many other factors. I find mine similar to slightly lower than other cars I owned prior.
