Wow! I really like Tesla and am very serious / very close to buying a model S...I was thinking some time in Q4. But the more I read the posts in this forum the more I second-guess my thought process. Is it really that bad out there? I hear about how terrible navigation is. I hear about how there's really truly been no meaningful updates in the last few years (aside from facelift). I hear about the lack of compatibility with our mobile phones. I hear about the poor quality of materials used in the cars. I hear about how terrible service is. I hear about empty promises. I hear about cars that cost tens of thousands of dollars less yet are even better equipped and more advanced in some ways. I hear about the severe lack of creature comforts...The list kind of goes on and on. To add salt to my wounds - one of my friends works for a Tesla supplier and says the same thing AmpedRealtor said in his post (hence the reason I copied his post; I however am not trying to single out this particular individual). So...what am I missing here? Why do (seemingly) most of you all have Teslas? Am I (and other potential buyers) making a mistake? Would you buy a Tesla again? Sorry...had to vent. Which apparently this forum is great for that![]()
If you read up bimmerpost, you would think BMW was worse than Kia as well. That's what forums are for - people to bitch and moan. How many times can I come to a forum and say "I love my car" ? Not many. But if I was pissed off at something, I would go on and on. You can read this forum or look at facts - Tesla has >90% customer satisfaction, >90% Tesla customers say they will buy another Tesla, many many Model 3 reservation holders are current Tesla owners, Tesla sales keeps growing despite no advertising or marketing. I owned BMWs for over a decade, and I feel Model S is far superior to any of the cars I had owned.
