The amount of stories about the shit construction was enough for me to back off. No thanks.

This is their real problem long term.

Elon is a loud mouthed idiot, but the world is full of loud mouthed idiots.

What's lasting, however, is that reputation for making poorly built vehicles. Even today, people would rather buy Japanese, Korean, or German than to buy, say, a buick. All because the reputation for making poorly built vehicles was never shaken by some American auto makers. I think Tesla will suffer the same fate, because to date, they haven't even conceded that they may have an issue.

The styling looks really dated now too. Look at a Tesla next to one of the new Mercedes or BMW EV models. It's not good.
I think the S still looks amazing. True about all the other models (including the one I own….)
