I was thinking about this today as I was looking at a model y: “it’s all hype. The only reason people buy these things is because they idolize Elon and his ability to hype his own brand.” It’s 100% not because they believe in their heart of hearts that they’re buying a reliable vehicle and because they look cool; it seems like it’s pretty well-known at this point in time that Teslas are a low-quality product.
