Another 10 years and it will be easy to see a pretty accurate rate of failure for Teslas. People can make up their minds then.
So far it seems to be average - for a mid-class sedan. The price is almost twice as high as it would be for an average ICE car in the same class, because you're paying for early adoption of EVs.
If the above comment on stock shorting and reputation war is true, then you can only trust actual drivers, not the news or even Tesla itself.
- mikeash 9y agoYour comment seems to imply that more expensive cars are more reliable, which as far as I know is not true.
- Spooky23 9y agoHuh? An Accord or Camry is the benchmark for quality. Fancy cars are usually less reliable. Teslas are like a Prius circa 2006. Mostly about projecting your eco-consciousness and hipness except it’s a luxury car. GM and now Honda already beat them to an affordable midsize car, it just looks like a Chevy and is missing the hype. Nissan beat them to an economy EV.
- refurb 9y agoThere might some "eco-consciousness" going on, but it seems to me most Tesla buyers would fall into the car/tech geek category. The car is viewed as so bleeding edge that it attracts a lot of these folks.
