If the price drops enough I would get one. I would hate to give money to musk, but it is not a bad car (based on the 2 people I know who have owned them for years).
We bought one a fair bit before Musk went full Neo Nazi. It’s a great car, the best car I’ve ever owned. The only repair in nearly 180k km was a known issue covered by warranty. They could be fantastic if the company wasn’t run by a moronic, petulant Neo-Nazi.
I wonder how common this is for evs in general. My vehicle has only gone in once for a recall on the windshield wiper motors, nothing else gone wrong.
The last car I had got off that brand needed quite a few repairs, so it’s remarkably refreshing to have a car that is just working along.
EVs just seen to be an easier thing to make reliable. Temperatures run much lower, fewer fluids in play, not having to deal with thousands of little explosions every minute…
The battery seems to draw all the headache, but even then reports suggest that conservative battery management systems have made those more reliable than people thought they would be. Probably thanks to the mandatory 100k warranty on batteries, the vendors took it seriously.

You could buy used not from Tesla if you did decide to buy in the future. Can get a great car and not pad their books.
