I think the reliability of the current Model S could be a major problem - there's a good reason Consumer Reports took away their recommended rating on it even after their testers absolutely loved the car. Sure, they're fixing everything for free right now, but wait and see what happens with the Model 3, it'll be more mass market and we'll get a good sense of what they can really produce.
- hackuser 10y agoThey are in a tough spot with so much riding on every model. If GM makes a bad car, it's one of many current products and one dud in a century-long track record. If Tesla makes a flop ... they might be bought by GM (which, after all, was originally an agglomeration of smaller car companies). And unlike a small software company, they can't just fix the problem (at least, not a hardware problem) with an update. Then again, they may have more room for error than someone making spaceships.
