crazy how such a highly regarded company known for innovation ~~and quality~~ became such a laughingstock joke to everyone except maga cultists in such a short amount of time
edit: lol guess not
I thought that Teslas have always had QA problems? It's definitely much, much worse in the last couple of years, the their cars were never highly regarded for being super reliable. Hell, I remember multiple stories of people's Teslas dying because they drove in the rain even ~5 years ago.
"quality"? Every Tesla I've stepped in felt cheap. The interiors in particular feel like Smart cheap at Mercedes prices. Maybe car quality in the US is that abysmal, but for reasonable standards Tesla's cars were always shoddily built.
Material quality on the inside of a tesla is typical American, it's about on par with low-mid range European cars, but so is a cadillac.
The material quality isn't much worse than any other American car.
It's fun to sit in an American made ford, and in a European made one right after, the difference is staggering.
highly regarded
Heh
I guess Tesla is also Jewish for scamming customers into paying a lot for cheaply made product, right? Oh right, that's actually offensive.
Can we just stop comparing burdensome, annoying, useless, unwanted, and unnecessary things to disabled people already?
Maybe the Roadster was decent, but Teslas have been nightmare cars for the past 10 years.
