I currently own a Tesla, but for my next car, I want to resist a Tesla, but I probably won't be able to because Tesla will be the only person offering the car I want.
I bought my Model 3 Performance because I wanted ripping fast 0-60 without breaking the bank, both in purchase price and economy. I can afford more now, and I'd really much rather drive a smaller 2-door, but the only option I'd be able to afford is a Roadster 2.0. Nobody else makes a high-performance EV coupe that's still in the low 6-figures. The Rimac Nevera is just way out of the question with its $2M price tag.
As far as reasons I want to avoid Tesla:
- Fit and finish concerns. My M3P was flawless, but I've seen people order a Model S Plaid (Their top-end $140K car) and it was riddled with glaringly obvious issues. I don't want to spend $200K on a Roadster and then still worry about potentially rejecting it at delivery because of finish issues.
- Elon Musk has grown to be a real piece of shit, to be quite blunt. I don't want to be associated with him if at all possible.
- I don't like where Tesla is headed with UX. Removing the stalks in favor of touch-sensitive buttons on the ~~wheel~~ yoke is not good UX.
- I'd like to simply avoid using such a controversial brand.
