Tesla Motors Club
Long time lurker here, I have been waiting/saving for a Tesla since 2012 and have watched the evolution of the cars and the company. The initial lust I had for these cars has faded over the past year. Reading about terrible service, refusing to honor warranty issues (yellow screens, broken MCU 1, etc), poor reliability of things that should be simple (door handles, non-framed window issues, doors on the X), poor range in winter, have all led me to believe I should wait to spend my hard earned money on a more refined product.
Am I over blowing these issues? Does ownership require patience (or perhaps a Tesla is best as a third vehicle)? Being in Maine, I can't imagine having to drive to Watertown or Dedham for issues (let alone dealing with their timelines). I know the ranger service exists but can only do so much.
I want a luxobarge (S) or family hauler (X) to make my long commutes on 95/495 more bearable, but I am currently leaning towards another Audi A8 and wait another 5-10 years for the EV race to mature...
