    They can’t make a good car at triple the price. Why would anyone buy this one?

        Hopefully yours doesn’t have body panel gaps you can see from part way across the parking lot. A couple doctors at the surgery center I was at had Teslas, and one of them was pretty unhappy with the build quality on the one he got.

          My dad is pretty unhappy with his Mercedes EQS which costs significantly more than the model S, it also had issues with loose interior trim and panel gaps. And despite the fairly high price point its still riddled with shitty plastic interior. It kind of feels like all manufacturers are rushing stuff out the door at the cost of QC.

      Personally I was shopping Tesla Model Y vs Chevy Blazer. At a glance, this seems to fall right in with what you’re saying but the reality was very different.

      • Tesla started off with an advantage by actually being available
      • even when Blazer was released, as a new model, it had much worse quality issues, very little availability, and huge markups
      • Tesla was a mature model, with no quality issues
      • Tesla was much less expensive
      • Tesla was rated 100 miles more range
      • Tesla is much more efficient
      • Tesla has an outstanding charging network
      • Tesla has a much easier purchasing process, with fewer middlemen to scam profits
      • Tesla software and automation is on a whole different level

      The decision really wasn’t close

        Hey, I’m happy you’re happy. But Tesla absolutely still has quality control issues.
