(1) Poor ratio of price to quality. I'm not keen on spending a $20K fashion premium at all, but even less so when I've seen so many pictures and videos of improper welds, panels that don't fit, etc.
(2) Just not a fan of the "design language" as another commenter put it. I positively do not want everything run through a built-in tablet, especially with all of the bugginess people have noted. That's fine for navigation and entertainment, but I want real physical dials and buttons for the basics.
(infinity) Elon is a total douchenozzle. I was saying so at least six years ago, when my new FAANG co-workers all gave me some serious side-eye for that, but it really wasn't a factor in my decision.
I ended up getting a Nissan Leaf SV+ which I like quite a lot. With the benefit of hindsight I now think I would have been even better off getting the electric Mini despite its pathetic range (I drove a Mini for 13 years before and literally cried to see it go). A plug-in hybrid might be an even better fit for my actual needs. But that's all water under the bridge. I'll give full credit to Tesla for doing an awesome job on charging systems (both ends), and for providing a necessary prod to other makers, but as a purchaser the rest seems mediocre to actively bad.
