[quote=Anonymous]We’ve only had our Tesla for a year, but I’ve heard the same thing from friends about their experience. Tesla is it really well designed car, as long as everything is working. But the normal bumps and bruises that can happen to a car can be incredibly expensive and inconvenient because the company overall is poorly run. For example, a friend of mine was in a totally minor accident in a parking lot where another driver sideswiped her. Unfortunately, the barely-visible damage happened to be right around the doorhandles which are so f-ing complicated that they had to replace a ton of different parts all of which was expensive and time consuming. Thankfully she didn’t have to pay for it, but that didn’t make it any easier logistically.  Likewise, our Tesla has been out of commission for several weeks while we wait for a back order on a replacement part for something totally standard that should be expected at this point in the life of a vehicle.

Basically, I would not advise anyone to buy a Tesla as their only vehicle. If you have another vehicle that you can use as well and just figure out car sharing between two spouses if the Tesla is out of order for any reason then it’s honestly worth it in my opinion because when it works it is such a great car in so many ways.[/quote]
