> It's very likely that Musk himself is contributing to the reputational downfall This. I really like Tesla as a brand, but Musk should really stop over-promising and under-delivering. Their technology is really good, but far away from the promises of their CEO.

Elon has always done that during the time Tesla was gaining popularity. It seems somewhere between pedo-diver and Twitter take over his public perception started taking a nose dive. I agree though I still want to see Tesla succeed.

It almost feels like he's just overpromising to get other car companies to miss what is the USP of a Tesla vehicle - the efficiency. The autopilot nonsense is criminal, but the fact that VW group, Mercedes nor any Japanese manufacturer can't hold a candle to the upper limit of 4 miles per kilowatt. If a model 3 was within my budget, I'd get it despite of the lack of a good radar-guided cruise control, despite the lack of buttons to engage drive, despite the lack of a HUD and mechanical buttons for climate controls. And despite the moron at the helm. All of that since it is the most efficient car on the market as far as I can tell.

  My non-Tesla EV hit its advertised range out of the factory, and hasn’t meaningfully shifted in the 2-3 years I’ve owned it. Literally every Tesla owner I know complains about not getting the range they thought they were buying. More than one has switched away because of it. Speak all you want about Tesla’s efficiency, but it’s hardly a meaningful USP against the absolute bad taste left in one’s mouth after hypeman Elon yet again under-delivers.

  > 4 miles per kilowatt You probably know this, but FYI it’s per kilowatt-hour. Anecdote: my Model S Plaid’s efficiency over 23,000 miles is 305 Watt-hours per mile.
