[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others have mentioned, Tesla quality really varies by component.  The motor and batteries are amazing, but the screen-based interface is a disaster since a system crash will leave you locked out the car or stranded on a roadside.  [/quote]

I commented on the other thread about Teslas, and I owned a Model X for four years and now own a Model 3 and Y.  We've owned Teslas since 2014.  We've NEVER had our screen interface crash.  Ever.  We've never been shut out of the car.  You do have to make sure your phone is always charged with a 3 and Y because you drive using your app.  There is a key card so you should keep that on you in case of a dead phone battery.  Model S and X have a key fob.

There are regular software updates that add new features and improve functionality.

As I said on the other thread, the only maintenance we ever have to do is put air in the tires and windshield wiper fluid in as needed.

As a PP mentioned, I think there were problems in the earlier years, but everyone I know who has a newer model has never had any serious problems.  But that's the same for any model car.  I remember we had a first year BMW X5 and it was a maintenance NIGHTMARE!  [/quote]
