    In my state, it’s not a matter of opinion. It’s a lemon.

    • One of the following happened during the vehicle’s first year and before the warranty expired:
      ** The dealer failed 4 times to fix the same nonconformity
      ** The vehicle was unable to be operated (“out of service”) for 30 days or more due to defects

    If it hasn’t hit that 30 day window yet, it will soon.

    “The brand new car I bought has been out of commission for roughly 25% of the time Ive owned it. Is it a bad car?”

    “All the people telling me this car is bad are wrong because it’s the best car in the world, but my question still stands. Is it a bad car?”

      Any other brand and car people would laugh them out of every single forum. “You spent six figures for your vehicle in October, it has been serviced multiple times, for weeks, and you say you’ll continue to only drive BMWs??”

      The cult-like behavior of right-wing extremists is insane…

      Your comment makes no sense. Every manufacturer produces some lemons. If it’s bad 25% of the time, it could just be a lemon.

      That being said, Tesla does not make good products and the “lemon” rate for their trucks seem to be unusually high

      TBF. My neighbour bought an I.D.4 in summer 2021 and I never even saw it as he constantly has an I.D.3 as a loaner from the dealer. After a year of constant repairs he cancelled the purchase and got a new Skoda Octavia estate (ice) as he needed something bigger for his three kids. In 2023 he got a Tesla model 3, as the financing was pretty amazing.

      The ID4 had so many early errors that it was absolutely dogshit, but now most of the kinks has been worked out and it’s a decent car.

      The cybertruck can probably become a decent (if insanely stupid car) once they work out the kinks. Tesla is still a brand with leprosy though

        Having never owned a one i can’t say this with first-hand experience, but aren’t the issues with the cybertruck more to do with core design fuck ups.

        To the point they wouldn’t really be considered “kinks” as much as critical design and safety flaws ?

          Thats a fair point. It seems to be badly designed, engineeres and made, all at the same time.

          My point was that it’s not uncommon for some of these electric cars that were rushed to be pretty bad. (Not because they are electric, but the rush to get models to the market.) The Toyota Bz4x was recalled (and sales stopped) because the wheels fell of.

            If they stopped production of bz4x because they couldn’t fix it, why would you think Tesla well fix this dumpster? Not to mention all the flaws with the company itself.

    Tesla always takes care of their customers

    That’s why they don’t allow third party repairs and refuse to share maintenance data with insurance companies, right? To take care of the customer? Certainly not to swindle the customer with fake maintenance data

    He should have known that that dumpster isn’t a real truck. Or car. It’s the half-baked vanity project by a narcissistic loser who hasn’t figured out yet that all the money in the world can’t make you cool.
