I am the owner of a 100k mile Tesla Model S.
In its lifetime, I have had to replace the replace the main screen and dash twice due to yellowing and delamination. I am about to have to take it in for a third.
I have replaced the MCU once due to an unexplained malfunction, and am about to go in for a second replacement due to a recall.
On an average summer day, the car loses about 3-4 miles of charge parked in a garage. On exposed pavement, closer to 10 miles a day.
The interior (spartan and cheaply constructed as it is) has steadily developed a variety of squeaks and rattles and the road noise at 60mph+ is very loud.
The car can accelerate quickly but handling is not on par with even the most basic sports cars.
In my opinion, Tesla cars are best in the market for one thing and that's straight line acceleration. For everything else you might value in a luxury/performance car, Tesla is pretty subpar.
