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.

FWIW, they’re also terribly made cars that keep poorly.
Anecdotally I have to disagree.
I really enjoy our Model 3 and Model Y. After renting an ID.4 for a week in Norway I find that the Tesla setup is a lot more “no nonsense” than other OEMs.
For example the ID.4 has many “safety” features that help center the car in the land if it detects that you are leaving the road. In Norway that have very narrow roads and you often have to pull over to the shoulder (far past the lane edge) to let a car pass.
To turn those settings off in an ID.4 I had to dig through a menu and disable them every time I get into the car. Every. Time.
Tesla’s UI experience is much more like a smart phone with persistence like one would expect. Like or hate the form factor, the infotainment on Tesla’s are done about as well as you can with a giant touch screen in my opinion.
I really fucking loath Musk these days though and wish he would be ousted from Tesla.
Not really fair to compare the ID.4 against your Teslas. The Audi Etron on the other hand has a far superior infotainment system compared to the Tesla and none of the issues from the base model VW.
I’m not accusing of intentionally comparing apples to oranges, but given the price brackets you made a really terrible argument.
The price brackets seem the same to me. Our Model 3’s config is actually cheaper than it’s similar ID.4 spec, where as an etron is like $30k MORE.
Oh no doubt that was also a big factor, but even if they were well built high quality cars, it would still be a non-starter as long as Elno has anything to do with the company.
Strange. We’ve got a 2019 SR+, 70k miles and it’s been flawless. I’ve only replaced the tires and the updates have actually added features. Y’all need to stop reading some of these anti-ev articles. You will always have a minority of vehicle owners complaining about whichever one they bought. Tesla isn’t any worse than others. Hell, here’s a recall from Dodge and they’ve been building vehicles a lot longer. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-trucks/nhtsa-investigates-ram-1500-sudden-power-steering-loss-in-11m-trucks/ar-AA1f5hb4
I hear a range of issues with Teslas that mostly come down to shoddy manufacture.
Either way all cars are bad, EV or no, and only collective transport solves any of our problems. Short term, buying a used gas vehicle is still less harmful to the environment.
Same experiences here since 2018.
Musk is a fuckwad but he’s not hand building the cars, these comments reek of children and ignorance.
