Except Tesla never made good cars. It was always clear that real car manufacturers will learn to make good EVs before Tesla learns to make good cars. For some time Tesla was supported by fans who could ignore major design flaws and investors looking for short term profits. Long term best case scenario for Tesla was always to just become another, normal car maker.
For a brief window Tesla was the only company making a "good" EV in that all their competition was making cars with sub 150 mile range (sometimes significantly so). Teslas have always been bad cars, but they were the best EV. Then all the other manufacturers finally got the memo that they couldn't keep ignoring the EV market and grudgingly made decent EVs which almost by default made Tesla the worst EV on the market.
i lot of people like the ioniq 5, im guesisng people are waiting for rivian to come out. anyone outside of the us, is probably going for BYDs.
i remember at the time he bought XITTER, some idiot on reddit i believe went ahead and purchased a 140k version of tesla, eventhough many people said it was such poor quality and warned him from buying it, and he later posted a video of how cheap the insides were, you could easily rip the cheap plastic linings of the inside of car.
That's simply not true, the last couple of years quality is up massively. The highland Model 3 is fine really, sure there are some things Tesla could've done better, but that goes for most manufacturers. I drive one and I haven't had any big issues, I do have some annoyances though, but there are also things the car does way better than its competition. People also seem to forget that Tesla was pushing out over the air feature updates while VW was manually updating their ID3 range on the parking lot in the docks.
The Model 3 and Y in its current state, at its prices before these wild discounts and 0% financing, is objectively a very competitive car and would probably made the top 3 list in every country in 2025 and possibly 2026. Let me put it differently, if Ford sold the Model 3 and Y, it would outsell any other vehicle on the planet. The only reason the Model Y will not be the best selling car this year is Musk and by extension the direction the US took with the elections. At least here in Europe, people don't really want to buy a Nazi symbol of a car. And frankly, if I could get rid of mine today, I would, not because the car is bad, but because of the Nazi in charge.
