[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tesla's have terrible quality. The fanboys overlook a lot. They do have the best tech and performance and range. [/quote]

Yep, quality control and customer service is lacking. But as of today, they beat everyone else on tech, range and charging network. Give it a year and there will be so many more choices from traditional manufacturers. [/quote]

Eh.  I'm the PP above with the X.  Teslas are not Hondas or Toyotas, so if you're looking for that level of reliability, they're not for you.  The issues we've had over the years have been minor and far outweighed by all the benefits of an electric SUV (that's also arguably the safest SUV on the market and also fun to drive).

The nationwide charging network that Tesla has is also a major plus.  Traditional manufacturers may have their versions on the market soon, but they won't have the charging infrastructure.  [/quote]

If you don't have a Tesla, you don't need to use any specific charging network --[b] you can use any CCS charging station.[/b] Some of the manufacturers are cutting deals with some of the charging stations for free use at some of them, but it's not like Fords need to find a Ford charger or VWs need the VW one. And at any rate, it sounds like the existing Tesla and non-Tesla networks are likely to be interoperable within the next couple of years. [/quote]

Sure, but I don’t see that as a plus.  They’re not as widespread or as well-integrated into the cars the way they are with the Teslas.

I’m not a complete Tesla evangelist, but there are real benefits to having them vs. other EVs, at least for the time being.  Not to mention that without Tesla, other manufacturers would still be happily ensconced in ICE-land[/quote]
