Electric cars for rich people is innovation?
- rpmisms 5y agoYes, because previously there were no good electric cars, not even for rich people.
- gnz11 5y agoGood as in quality or good as in looks? I seem to read a lot about Tesla and poor reliability. https://www.sfgate.com/tech/amp/Tesla-ranks-almost-dead-last-Consumer-Reports-16632996.php https://www.sfgate.com/tech/amp/Tesla-ranks-almost-dead-last...
- rpmisms 5y agoGood as in competitive with (or superior to) ICE cars. That reliability survey is flawed, it includes issues that are fixed as a condition for delivery. Tesla owner satisfaction is one of the highest in the industry.
- gnz11 5y agoI have no reason to distrust Consumer Reports. Reported owner satisfaction most likely has a high degree of sunk cost fallacy built in.
- rpmisms 5y agoWouldn't that be a consistent factor across cars at a certain price point, though? You could reasonably compare Model 3 owner satisfaction to Lexus IS250 owner satisfaction, for example.
