> You know how to get out of a Model 3 if the electric system dies? Of course you don’t, because you can’t. Opening the doors on a depowered Tesla ranges from comically obscure to literally impossible depending on the model. A common reason to depower? A battery fire.

My take is that they are like owning any smaller volume semi-exotic car. People who think they are crazy unreliable should talk to the ex-owners of V12 BMWs. 'lectric cars appear to be the future, but the average person could stand to wait for another generation or two of batteries and buy something like an EV Corolla.
