    They’re not, though. Elon can suck it but my Tesla is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned and it’s not even close.

      Are you comparing with other cars at the same price range or cheaper cars?

      I don’t know but based from my experience(since you also commented based on your experience), compared to some other brands although Tesla are better than some cheaper models of other brands, some are better than Tesla if you compared to the models with the same price range

      Yes, some brands might be worse, but Tesla is not quite considered as being the best

        Some cheaper, some the same price range.

        What’s your experience based on? Do you own one? Or is this just third-hand?

        I don’t care what it’s considered. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned Fords, Dodges, VWs, Toyotas, and BMWs.

      I heard that you don’t even have to open the door, you just slide in through a panel gap

      I love that you were downvoted, for all we know your previous vehicle was a Daewoo or something. A Tesla is likely a better quality vehicle than a Daewoo.

      Ah yes a personal anecdote is 100% more valid.

      That said, from what I’ve heard the big problem is the disparity of build quality. Some Tesla’s (like possibly yours) are built amazing. Some others are put together like shit.

        At least I provided some kind of evidence, even if it’s an anecdote. You made a generalization with absolutely no evidence.

        That’s fine if there’s a disparity but it’s not as common as your statement makes it seem.

          Every brand isn’t evangelized in the same way the cult of Elon pushed their golden goose. They’re run of the mill or worse than industry averages.

          Couple this with the ridiculous price point on the vehicles and you have apple cars so to that point I can understand the delusional obsession with the brand and supporting it

            Maybe, but ask an Alfa Romeo fans about the brand… they are way worse than the Tesla fans… 😉

            They’re run of the mill or worse than industry averages.

            Look, I can tell way worse things about Renault if I look at how my car came out, so ? And I would concede that Tesla is pretty new to mass producted cars. During the years I found many quality problems also with brand that are even more evangelized and have a way longer history.

            Couple this with the ridiculous price point on the vehicles and you have apple cars so to that point I can understand the delusional obsession with the brand and supporting it

            In Italy, a couple of models (Y and 3) are pretty much aligned with other brand’s cars of the same category, so they don’t seems to be that expensive. Or the other brands are too expensive.
