The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.

    I’ve been reading that the QC on Tesla vehicles is actually fairly poor though. Panels not aligned and such. There’s also the false range readings.

      I mean granted yeah, it’s not perfect. But for me and what I need it to be done aka be fully electric and have a good amount of range along with a charging network, they have it all.

      When other manufacturers adopt NACS and they open their charging stations there will be a lot more options and that are worth it. But for now I’m happy with the car.

        I wouldn’t desire or try to change your opinion on the vehicle. I’ve had wavering interest in them myself but never enough confidence in the companies longevity to make the investment.

      Nah, that’s all internet myths these days. The first 6 motnsh, maybe 8 from the Fremonth factory has panel issues. That’s not a thing from the Chinese or EU fa Tory and mostly gone in the Fremont ones.

      Range is the same issue as your petrol one. No one gets that range as it’s under “ideal” conditions. If you want to be mad, be mad at your EPA and how they test and rate all cars.

        All I have are internet myths and one semi-close friend with a Model 3 to go on. Theirs has some paneling alignment issues but they don’t seem to care.

        I have only that example and what I’ve read to go on. The range issue is understandable, I’d thought it was simply more accurate since it’s an EV and not BS range we get with combustible fuel.

      How i see it, the physical build quality is pretty poor, but the UX is a bit better, as a lot of car companies are pretty terrible at car software.

        I haven’t been in a car where I feel 100% satisfied with the UX. I guess it takes a different hat.

          I definately agree, no car is close to 100%, but at least with tesla, they put more effort into it than some long time names, even if i dont neccesarily agree with some of their choices (e.g digital ac control)

          Something as basic as getting maps to function correctly and consistently for some vehicles is a Challenge.
