Why do you suspect that when other Tesla models are only marginally less shitty?

There are so many other EV options now and pretty much all of them are of higher quality. Some of them are cheaper.

Yes, we’re finally getting some choices. Next time you need to purchase a personal vehicle, please consider which EV is right for you.

There are reasons Teslas are still most popular, and you may benefit by figuring out why, rather than spout propaganda

  They are still the most popular because they have the most hype, not because they are the best choice.

    What pros and cons have you personally experienced?

    Why do I have to personally experience them? I’d say the biggest con is this:
    
    The employee training the company offers is “woefully inadequate,” Reveal reported in its investigation. Turley told me she was never taught how to do her job and only shown videos that included a history of the plant and information about Tesla, but nothing about the work she would be doing. “You pretty much have to learn from the people that’s in there,” she said. Cleon Waters also said in his filing that he was never given any training for his job assembling parts of car motors. California safety regulators cited Tesla eight times for deficient training between 2013 and 2018.

    Sorry, I’m not going to personally experience a car put together by untrained people.

  Not going to buy an EV. No charging stations nearby. Can’t install a charging station where I live. I probably have 10 years of driving left so I will stick with an ICE.

    Seems like a good plan that’s right for your situation, but for all of our future, I hope that’s rare ten years from now.
    
    For anyone in their own house, where it’s pretty straightforward to install a charger …. It’s damn nice to never again have to go to a local refueling station. Recharging your car can be just like your phone: plug it in overnight and it’s just always full.
    
    Yeah, it can be a bit less convenient on a road trip, but 95+% time, plugging into your home charger is more convenient

  Plenty of companies make them. They just aren’t allowed to sell them in the U.S. most of the time. And that should be changed.
