A media relations department is a savvy thing to have in order to keep your brand’s reputation healthy. An order backlog stretching into 2023 doesn’t mean much for the next decade of Tesla. Public opinion is important for sales. I’m not going to claim to speak for the car-buying masses, but my impression of Tesla (false marketing claims, shoddy workmanship, bad working conditions, etc) is bad - you’d think a competently run company would want to try to shift that narrative.
- parkingrift 4y agoYour impression of Tesla is obviously not shared by the masses, or the masses wouldn’t continue buying Tesla vehicles in mass quantities.

- ncmncm 4y agoConsumer Reports agrees: Tesla is the least reliable American car, by maintenance cost. Reports are that if anything substantial needs fixing , it it cheaper to discard the car and buy another one used. What the US public chooses to buy is, evidently, easily manipulated. Consumer reports, less so.
- parkingrift 4y ago...and again... the masses disagree. Tesla will sell 1.5 million cars this year and they have a backlog of 8 months.
- ncmncm 4y agoAgreed, people are sheep, and will pay through the nose for crap they are taught carries some sort of cultural cachet. See also Apple products, and various handbags.
