I will never buy a Tesla. I'm not normally one to pay attention to brands, but Elon Musk has tainted the brand to such a degree, that I'm disgusted at the idea of being associated with it.
That being said, the company still makes some decent technology. From what I understand, the motors, motor controllers, and battery packs are fairly decent pieces of kit. There seems to be some kind of disconnect between their engineering teams, though, because the cars themselves are so bad. I've seen internal panels fall off, interior components break at the slightest touch, misaligned body panels, and any number of other fit-and-finish issues. Not to mention, every single one is hideous. Make them look like an EV or make them look like a luxury car, not some half-assed abomination between the two.
I have to wonder why there's such a disconnect within the company. It feels akin to building a Ferrari drivetrain and installing it in a Kia.
