Fuck Musk. But tbh it’s not a huge drop, and there aren’t an infinite number of people, so the number is going to drop naturally. It’s like everyone already has one who wants one. There’s also more competitors for EVs nowadays, which is a good thing.
People don't keep the same car their entire lives most of the time. Especially one with a shitty build like a Tesla.

I see this posted all the time like it is a universal truth. Usually from random commenters regurgitating what they've read elsewhere and not actual owners.
I have a 2018 Model 3. From near the front of the production ramp when the most complaining about issues was happening online. My vehicle didn't come with any of the panel gaps issues people were posting about and I have had no issues with mine that I didn't cause myself.
Our Honda Civics have had more build and maintenance issues than my Model 3.
I'm not saying people haven't had issues with their Teslas, I am a single person. But universally saying Teslas have shit build quality isn't any more accurate than saying the older American manufacturers make vehicles that almost always fall apart before 100k miles. That's been my personal experience, but it's definitely not the case overall.
Or did they literally use shitty parts in their cars, tell no one, and then you got lucky?

I'm thinking the latter.
GM did this for over a decade with their ignition lock cylinders and a lot of people died because of it. This isn't unique to Tesla.
I never suggested it was.
And if suspension or steering failures because of faulty parts haven't killed anyone in a Tesla yet, it's only a matter of time.
