Tesla does a lot of things right - their cars are amongst the fastest around and their charging network is superior to any others to date

But their build quality is poor and their autonomous driving features are overstated compared to what they can deliver

Plus their service support is limited due to their direct sell model - there aren't many places to get Tesla's repaired

Tesla did make EVs mainstream though. Consider that their cars outsell popular ICE cars even though the Tesla's cost 50%+ more

So, it's a mixed bag with a lot of their customers, and some outsiders, absolutely fanatical about them, some people hating them by proxy because of Musk, and some people 50/50 on them like any car brand
