Elmo has damaged his brand by going full tilt cocaine addled fascist
The brand has always been weird. I don't really know any people with teslas, but i was always wondering where the garages are to fix and service teslas. The closest thing i have seen is a storefront that has room for one car and a desk. Apparently you can buy or bring your car there and then they bring it wherever. I talked to a few people with teslas and they told me the weirdest stories about their cars and maintenance. One of them is a former car mechanic and he said that he only brought it for maintenance but kept the car for more than a month. Upon closer inpection he found out that they switched out the driveshaft without saying anything. Another guy had a brand new tesla and had needed a new windshield and he had to wait for 6 month going. Everything about tesla feels fishy and scammy.
Pretty much any car brand will have stories like that. I've had zero issues with my Model 3 in four years so far. It's a perfectly fine car, but I won't buy another one because of Musk's recent antics.
