You could argue that Teslas are owned by the least car centric people, which leads to them driving around with faulty cars until they go in for their every other year safety road test.
Compare that to van drivers or sports car owners or car veterans that are slow adopters, who might catch a cars problem earlier and get it fixed before a safety test. Heck, just the fact that regular cars go into mechanics to get services more regularly will lead to problems being caught before a safety test.
This doesn't really say that Teslas have more problems, more so that Teslas drive around with problems for longer than other types of cArs.
- LeafItAlone 3y ago> You could argue that Teslas are owned by the least car centric people I’m interested in hearing more about that argument.
- talldatethrow 3y agoPeople that work on their own cars, repair and modifying, are still very anti EV for the most part. Idk how to give you data on that, but if you're at all in the auto world this is painfully obvious. Outliers exist of course, but that's the case with everything.
- omnimus 3y agoTeslas approach towards people doing repairs, modding or basically anything outside their service centers is also a big reason. Tesla will sue people who tinker with their cars. Thats not exactly compatible with “car enthusiast“.
- mvdtnz 3y agoThis is baseless speculation that doesn't make even glancing contact with reality.
- FrostKiwi 3y agoYour point is 100% true, but I expect the impact on the data to be essentially none. "car centric people" are not the average citizen. This data is on the scale of a country and the impact at this scale will be minimal.
