- dekhn 4y agoTrue, but a few years ago they had a huge problem with Model3 and ModelY quality- you had to be very careful and inspect the whole car for serious problems before accepting delivery.
- adoxyz 4y agolol if you look at any Tesla forums, this is still very much the case with all cars they make. The refreshed Model X seems to be hot garbage from a quality control stand point.
- panick21_ 4y agoTesla forum is literally the perfect example of selection bias.
- washbrain 4y agoExcept it's not. If there were no defects, there would be no defects reported on the forums. The number of cars sold is public. The parent isn't suggesting looking at the ratio of happy and sad posters, which would definitely be selection bias, they are saying look at the rate and severity of complaints on it's own.
- panick21_ 4y agoIf you have a defect you are about 1000x more likely to go to the forum. Of course there are defects, at that volume that would be expected. Parent didn't say anything about rates.
- _ea1k 4y agoI'm not sure that the differences are that huge. AP is more capable, but also has more phantom braking issues. The cars themselves have more range and charge faster, but its not an order of magnitude. Maybe charge times on a road trip have dropped by ~50%. Service has generally gotten worse as well, as the company has really struggled to scale. They've added a lot of mobile service and service centers, but they still can't keep up with the pace of growth. Good thing is that most of the newer cars aren't needing service much, but when they do it can be problematic.
