And the world is full of Teslas. You really think if even 20% of the hyperbole was true that they'd be shipping the volume they are? All those Tesla buyers are just deluded marks who'd be happier in a VW or whatever? Maybe... the situation is complicated and like all manufacturers they have some good points and some bad points and the market is in the process of deciding on what particular traits it values?

Of the people I know personally who bought Tesla's I do know they weren't aware of the reputation for difficult servicing and parts availability.

  I was aware of the reputation, but just can't seem to get it to show up in real life. Darndest thing...

    I'm not sure if you're just not unclear on how probabilities and random sampling work, or if you have some deeper point I'm not seeing.

      I just mean that a systemic problem should be seen across the system. I'm not seeing it.

        Do you actually think you have visibility "across the system?"

        I've been to 6 separate service centers and always had better service than any ICE mechanic.
