Prove it.
You've never driven a Tesla.
Such as?
A few customers waiting doesn't mean "overwhelmed", and waiting at a few stations doesn't mean overwhelmed network. Lol!
The batteries, like the tech in the cars, are open source. hardly one dimensional.
The waiting to get a Model S is only a few weeks. The wait time for a custom-made GM is 2 months.
Like who? All other EV's (including my Chevy Volt) get much less battery range and aren't nearly as fast. The upcoming Chevy Bolt is still a year away. The BMW i8 is sexy on the outside dumb as a post on the inside. ("Fake" motor noise through the speakers, LOL!) The Mitsubishi EV is ok but no where near any other EV. Tesla is win, win, win all around.
And then there is this:
Tesla Model 3 'approaching' 400,000 pre-orders as GM boss throws shade | ZDNet
Epic Fail, Sir Mo, Epic fail.
Yep. |
the tesla overall reliability rating is easily available for you to look up yourself. if you were actually in the market for one, and researching a purchase, you would know this and not need someone to bring you up to speed on it.
i have driven a Tesla S in fact, and we were researching the model 3 for purchase.
you would also know the warranty is yet unproven due to the low age of the S, again, available online.
Tesla themselves acknowledged the charging station wait times in their quarterly/annual report, again, a simple search on your part, if you were truly interested in purchasing a Tesla, is simple to do.
Tesla doesn't make proprietary batteries, they make lithium-ion batteries, open source doesn't apply to the batteries. they're Panasonic currently
Tesla also acknowledged their own "hubris" in their quarterly that waxed over their own delays and production issues, again, easily found online from multiple sources
ALL the major marques jumping into EV race, again, easily found by a simple search.
you don't realize those are preorders for a concept car. nor have you updated yourself to the huge problems Tesla faces in filling those orders.
it's clear you and several others are very emotional about Tesla, i get that. But it's also clear you are not informed, you're not a serious buyer of either the product or the stock, you're simply emotional. cars do that to some people. heck, i've been there.
