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

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

Given they started from scratch, I'd say the are not that bad
Plus what’s up with hating a company just because it’s CEO is an outspoken dickhead? He doesn’t even seem to be paying attention to Tesla anymore, so can’t we decide on a company’s products, by what the company actually does?
And I’ll agree, maybe the rest of the world has other choices, but in the US, there are good reasons Tesla dominates the EV market. You don’t have to agree, but should be able to see the reality
Tesla's image and public perception was built mostly on the salesmanship of Elon Musk the man (mainly through self-agrandising promises, like the Cyber Truck and just straightforward deceit like calling their driving assist "full self driving"), on the consumer side more so early on and on the investor side still very much so even today (hence Tesla's "Tech startup" kind of market valuation rather than an "auto maker" kind, though that seems to have started correcting).
So it absolutelly makes sense that as trust in Elon Musk the man goes down, so goes trust in his promises and favorable portrayal of his companies' and their products, and hence the massive PR around Tesla built by him is collapsing along with the public perception of him (it makes no logical sense to expect that a company controled by somebody one sees as a scam artist would impeccably honest and ethical and their products trully delivered on what's promised in their glitzy marketing materials).
Had Tesla's image not been build up almost entirelly on "Trust Elon Musk he's a visionary" you would've been right, but as it it is your "argument" comes out as one side "cake and eat it" fanboyism.
