Had an opportunity to drive one recently (2020 Model S). Felt very high-tech. If you love speed and acceleration in a straight line they’re wonderful. But the sort of “fit and finish” and general comfort was… not what I would expect from a car costing $40,000+
The real risk for Tesla is probably other manufacturers catching them on range. Once you have EVs in the same price range, with roughly the same capacity Tesla starts looking like any other car with a bunch of gizmos instead of comforts.
