    They’re shit cars. Let’s please stop pretending they aren’t. The build quality is abhorrent.

    Yes, they had the cool factor for a while, and yes, I feel sorry for (some of) those who got caught up in something they didn’t want to be caught up in. But also, the writing has been on the wall a long time, and build quality issues have been public knowledge for about as long.

    You get what you pay for.

          Do you have a source for that?

          Also we should note that Tesla paid $0 income tax on $2 billion income in 2024. And Trump axed the tax rebate to help people buy EVs.

      I had a coworker who bought a used one five years ago who said it was great having the first owner do all the repairs.
