Many of the dings against reliability are “recalls” that get patched OTA. I’ve owned 3 over the past 7 years and the only time I’ve gone in for a repair was because the motorized truck bed cover wasn’t closing on its first try. I had to press it twice for a few weeks until I got it fixed.
Yes, it’s an anecdote. But it’s my “lived experience” as they say.
- nickthegreek 2y agoOwning 3 cars of the same car over 7 years doesn’t scream reliability to me.
- qwerpy 2y agoI bought a 3, traded it in for a Y because we had kids, gave the Y to my wife and bought a CT for myself.
- apparent 2y agoWhat made the CT an attractive purchase for you? I don't mean to be rude, but I just haven't figured out what makes people want to buy them.
- qwerpy 2y agoThe honest reason is I loved the look from the moment it was unveiled. I’ve had Teslas for years and this one is the same thing I’m used to but bigger and has massive cargo space, which is useful now that I have kids whose toys (strollers, bikes, skis/snowboards, ride on cars, etc) take up more and more space. It also powered my house during an extended power outage, and drives itself when I need a break. I love the thing. Just wish it wasn’t wrapped up with so much political angst.
- apparent 2y agoAppreciate the reply, thanks. I had heard so many stories about build issues (as with other new Tesla models), and it's pretty expensive too. I wasn't sure what attracted people enough to overcome these downsides (and the polarizing aesthetics, of course). But if you've got skis and ride-on cars, I see how the bed would make this a winner over the Model X.
