Owner of a M3. My first Tesla. I have number 40xx. I adore the damn thing. Seeing software updates makes me happy. I compare it to my last favorite car, my Volt which claimed to support updates; but never patched it’s awful UI. It is a bit raw. I had to leave the car at the service center due to some door handle issues. I received a loaner model S, and it’s was fixed impeccably. The X had a trunk issue for a ton of cars needing a rain proof cover on the trunk- and every owner got it. There are quality issues. So far I’ve seen everything fixed at Tesla’s expense, with similar reports on TMC. It is a different paradigm though - far more a reliable software platform (where they fix things when they are broke) than the typical “here is your car” model. There is a bit of fandom in which earlier adopters are willing to put up with issues. As I said, I love the car, and as long as they keep patching issues (HW & SW) that come up, I’ll accept some issues. Don’t want the issues? Wait a half year. But recall that they have 18 months of backlog. Most would consider that a commercial success.
