If you expect reliability and quality, you also find the ownership experience to be different. I have owned three.
Please elaborate
Especially wrt the 3. The X def had some issues around the falcon wings etc.

> Current wait is 8-12 weeks on a Y, and only a week or two on the rest. Here in Europe it's August for all of S/3/X.
You are waiting for Berlin to go up right? Or is that next year?
Free supercharging is not on the X or S now. That is a significant change. Supercharging Max/ Payment Type200 kW max; Pay Per Use
Makes sense. Model Y is picking up steam. I doubt they are selling 100% production of the other models (Y is eating a bit into sales of all 3). S and X are both in need of a refresh, they have worse battery tech than both the 3 and Y and missing some of the cool Y features (heat pump, octovalve). Current wait is 8-12 weeks on a Y, and only a week or two on the rest. In line for my first Tesla (a y). It has been a ver…
What all media (except Reuters...) failed to report: free Supercharging seems to be gone for S/X.
I think someone did the math and you would need to supercharge 100k mikes to pay 5k. The cash is a better deal for almost all.

Good luck! Tesla's are marvels of technology, but the lockdown they have on maintenance and repair -- which includes extremely high costs -- is enough to shy me away until we get a 'right-to-repair' law.
People keep talking about batteries getting cheaper, how likely is it that this largely reflects changes in the cost to Tesla to produce these vehicles? On the flip side how likely is it that this is cutting substantially into Tesla's profit margin?
They're trying to boost sales with price cuts: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-prices/tesla-cuts-p... All car manufacturers have seen sales decline due to the coronavirus pandemic.

pricing rarely has anything to do with cost to produce, especially for goods are aren’t perceived as commodities
Like how the V8 Mustang is a 10k premium over the turbo four, there's absolutely not a 10k difference in production costs.

One X was a lemon and spent months in the shop. The second X was better but still needs a warranty repair every few months. The 3 is better still but has had six or seven service visits.
