I heard they are actually gigantic pieces of shit? I really don't know. Please convince me why I should buy one, over any other 35,000 car.

Teslas. In general. I don't believe it one way or another. People shit on stuff that is really nice. And people like to pimp shit that sucks.

I mean, it costs 10 times more, that means it has to be 10 times better. Clearly.

I read an article saying that ConsumerReports pulled their recommendation for the S after reliability issues. I guess they initially gave the car a score of 103 and then dropped it to 11.

By all accounts, Tesla has been a major success. It's sold nearly 100,000 units of its Model S sedan, has a Model X SUV on the way, and despite overblown reports that it loses money on every car sold, it shows no signs of going bankrupt any time soon. In the world of automotive startups, no other company has come close to that kind of success. But one of the biggest criticisms Tesla has faced is about its long-term reliability. Consumer Reports even went so far as to remove the Model S from its list of recommended vehicles. According to a new analysis of survey data from Plug-In America, it may even be worse than we thought. Two-thirds of early Model S drivetrains may need to be replaced before they hit 60,000 miles. Green Car Reports conducted the analysis of the survey data, looking into long-term reliability of a total of 327 Model S sedans. Its conclusion is that 2012 and 2013 models face a serious reliability risk. Tesla offers an eight-year warranty that will cover these issues, but it's concerning to see early models with failure rates nearly ten-times that of later models. When asked for comment, Tesla didn't answer any direct questions but did respond with a general comment about the company's increasing reliability and strong customer satisfaction. Check out Green Car Reports' analysis here

The reason you buy a Model 3 over another $35k car is because you want a fully electric, sexy car that can seamlessly drive FOR YOU. It's the future, baby. Tesla sold 180,000 presales at $1,000 apiece in under 24 hours. $180 million in production capital. Elon Musk is doing shit in the business world that is game-changing. |

Yeah, they're fantastic initially, but long-term reliability remains to be seen. Elon has claimed that the Consumer Reports revision was based on some of the earliest ones off the line and that the problems have been corrected, but only time will really tell.
