Once you understand that Tesla exists to sell EV tax credits and hold a massively overinflated stock valuation based on ...apparently nothing... and so therefore making cars is actually far down their list of priorities stuff like this should not come as a surprise.
These vehicles are objectively bad: Poor design and even poorer manufacturing. Every one I've seen up close in person has numerous exterior fit and finish problems. The interiors feel very very cheap for a vehicle in their price range. They catch fire. They don't work well in extreme weather. Bumpers fall off randomly. If you think these sorts of problems don't extend to the mechanical and software components, well, I've got a Tesla to sell you.
- nexuist 5y agoHave you tried asking car owners if they want a car with expensive interiors? Or cars that don't catch fire? Or cars that work well in extreme weather? Or bumpers that don't fall off? Maybe they'd tell you they do. But wallets, and recent sales trends, speak differently. The market clearly does not value these things as much as you think it does, at least in comparison to the other features Tesla promises. (source: happy Tesla owner, no stock held)
