I have a 2017 Model X that I bought new. The EV part is great, its everything else that sucks. Since I've had it, I've taken it for service for the following: o Arrived w/o Tow pkg (Tesla "forgot" it, was installed via service center appt) o falcon wing doors improperly adjusted, leading to wind noise and water intrusion o Loud wind noise and fogging passenger side windows: Due to improperly installed "triangle" wind…

I sold my 2020 Model X because of the half shafts (wtf are those) issue. It’s a complete design flaw and it’ll never stop degrading and requiring a new repair. Even had that confirmed by the service center. Newest Model X design supposedly fixes that. Maybe Tesla will get sued over it idk. With the pandemic the prices for used Tesla’s is through the stratosphere and although I sold too early I drove the MX for 9 mont…

I am sorry but this is incredibly misleading. Just because there are a few cosmetic issues in manufacturing doesn't mean it is not a reliable vehicle. I own two, Model Y and Model 3, and they are the best and most reliable vehicles I have ever owned.

Your sample size is 2. Their sample size is 369,000.

When the Tesla scam finally folds, it could be the end of Silicon Valley. Also coupled with the potential sentence of Elizabeth Holmes

Scam? Tesla is manufacturing and delivering vehicles. The model Y is by all accounts the best vehicle they've made and so far doesn't have any of the problems seen with others. FWIW ours arrived in perfect condition and hasn't needed service.

> For other EVs it’s a few hours at best. Absolutely not true. This is one of those things Tesla diehards keep repeating as if it was 2015 still. You have commercial super-chargers widely available already that can charge a car 80% in 20 minutes: https://youtu.be/ZgeZikh88Wc?t=776

These folks had issues charging their Porsche Taycan on their road trip in 2021. Also it looks like charging on a road trip looks like a Tour de Walmart for the most part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTieOdnDhX8

You realize that Tesla is moving their headquarters to Austin, is worth 1.1 Trillion dollars, outsells all of their competitors combined in certain categories, Silicon Valley is just a label given to a certain area and can't "end" and Theranos is already a failed company right? What you are saying seems more like a line out of a comic book than something that has matches reality in any way.

> is worth 1.1 Trillion dollars That's the reason why it's a systemic risk. When the financial value of something and the real value diverge so much...people rage will mount when inevitably the financial value collapses back to the real value. People wanted Ballmer's head for keeping things together and allow the real value of Microsoft to catch up with the financial value which was so elevated at the height of the d…
