-Most recalls for any car than any other manufacturer
-When they break, only Tesla can service them and it will cost thousands of dollars
-Build quality is crap.
-when you crash, they explode into a hellfire of flames that burns for 3 hours
-They're ugly

People want a cool electric car and tesla is good at marketing that. Thankfully most companies are making their own electric vehicles so I think tesla will lose the limelight as time goes on

Roughly the same reasons that people buy iPhones, but they actually have a single metric that is better than the competition.

Because for a while they had very little competition, as far as full electric vehicles went. It was either them, or the Nissan Leaf, IIRC.

But yeah, I think most of the Tesla designs are ugly. The Model S is the only one that looks decent.

They have a lot more competition now though, so I expect to see less and less of them as other electric vehicles gain popularity.

No competition at the time, but now car manufacturers are stepping up and not purposely making their electric vehicles look like shit.

The fucking 2023 Toyota Prius got me undecided if I really want an EV.

Most of Tesla's recalls are software related and are fixed through over the air software updates. There have been some physical recalls, though. For the one physical issue I've had for my car they came out to my house to check to see if mine was actually affected. It was something about the hood latch, but they said mine wasn't affected by the problem.

There are also Tesla-certified service centers that can work on Teslas, too.

Tesla was simply the first to successfully market electric cars to the public and other car manufacturers haven't caught up yet. However, that gap is closing and Tesla is likely going to struggle unless they fix their issues.

Beemer drivers couldnt stand the bad rap BMWs gave them and as a result took their shitty driving habit to their Tesla.

Musk prospered as a liberal darling only because he marketed Tesla as a "cool" electric car.

Now that the left is not clouded by Musk and Teslas bullshit anymore, and the curtains are coming down on him being Tony Stark, Musk is now running to the right wing for attention.

The ones that are related physical issues aren't recalling the entire fleet of cars. They're typically targeted to a subset of cars.
