What is up with all these haters. My friend has a model Y for 3yrs now and never had any issues. It is a great car. Panels gaps are fine, no ratlling dash. I drove it and I loved it! If I could afford it, I would buy the new model 3.

Maybe Europe has different standards but they're great cars!

If you completely take Musk out of the equation, my issues with Tesla are:

The whole carbon credits thing
The price point is premium, but the build quality often isn't
Other companies have largely eaten their lunch, launching solid EV's that rival or better Tesla
Their reputation was built off of the end-goal of mass-producing affordable EV's, something they will now not do.

Not that I want to defend Musk, but

The whole carbon credits thing

I suppose here he just used something that was present, like many other entities

Other companies have largely eaten their lunch, launching solid EV’s that rival or better Tesla

Yes, only after Tesla show that it is possible to make a nice EV car. Do you remember all the EV cars before Tesla.

Their reputation was built off of the end-goal of mass-producing affordable EV’s, something they will now not do.

Given they started from scratch, I'd say the are not that bad
