I’m in a position to judge it because I have 200k miles in ~3 years, with a battery that has gotten beat to hell, in the coldest and warmest places in the US with 95% fast charging. It runs basically nonstop in the most extreme climates in the US.

I’d call that stupid reliable.

Doesn’t matter to me in any case; as long as Tesla can survive, all this hate just means there will be a shorter line when I grab my next one.

I've got a 25 year old car that's done all that, no major repairs. I'll be surprised if a Tesla lasts 12 years.
Your 25 year old car eats gasoline and takes a dump on the Earth, at the cost of the health of everyone.

I’m not willing to do that to anyone, and since an alternative exists, I use it.
