Yet a staggering 98% of the Mode S owners said they would buy the car again [1]. Can you name a single product that has that kind of loyalty? I've never driven a tesla, but clearly something very different is happening in the automotive industry other than Fanboism.

- euyyn 11y agoI don't know shit about cars and have never driven a Tesla. But 98% of people willing to buy it again might very well be fanboism, or wanting to have the coolest car currently, or wanting to have the only[1] fully electric luxury car. I'm not sure why you think it must be a superb quality of manufacturing to some extent. [1] I don't know if there are others. But I count on others not knowing either.
- vsl 11y agoFWIW: I went through a few cars already: with every one, after 3-4 years, I wanted to have nothing with the brand, because there were always so many things that sucked (in-car UI, service etc.) I drive Model S. I don’t want to drive anything else ever, because the quality (of driving, of UI, the way service treats you) is superb. I’m damn motivated to earn enough to afford it, or at least Model 3, because my experience is that no other manufacturer gets it or is capable of making a decent driver UI — and yes, that includes Audis or BMWs.
