    Have no idea what you see. This is what people complain about? Alignment issues are easy fix.

    I don't care if it's an easy fix or not. I am saying the sht looks whack and that's not what I expect from a "luxury" car maker.
    The left side has a half inch gap and the other side has practically one. If I was buying a car and I saw this, I would think this car was in an accident. If you don't see it then I can see why you think Tesla is luxury.
    And if they can't even get a trunk put on correctly what else is wrong?

    Tesla model Y best selling CAR in Europe, not just EV. Something something competition…



    Guess there aren't that many masochists out there after all.

    But but but....panel gaps!!!

    It’s something that was more forgivable in their earlier days but should have been address by now. Particularly at this price point.

    Hottest cars will continue to be Tesla until they solve that issue with it spontaneously combusting.

    Both things are not mutually exclusive.


    Yes, Tesla has quality issues. From what I hear, customer service issues as well.

    Yes, Tesla has the best charging infrastructure.


    But I wouldn't buy a Tesla right now because of their obvious quality issues. I also wouldn't buy electric right now because of the lack of infrastructure.

    I saw the Austin dealer had an I7 available (and I'm tired of waiting for the F150 or a new Tesla design) so I thought I'd do some more research. Looks awesome except one major flaw: They built it on the same platform as the rest of the 7 series. So, that means no front trunk and that hump going down the middle of the car (i.e no space gains in the vehicle)....seems pretty shortsighted/lazy/moronic

    Tesla reported Monday 405,278 vehicles delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022. While the automaker hit a record number of deliveries, it came in shy of Wall Streets expectations of around 420,000 to 425,000 units delivered.

    The electric vehicle company also reported total production of 439,701 vehicles in the fourth quarter. This brings Tesla’s total annual deliveries to 1.31 million and total production in 2022 to 1.37 million.

    While Tesla had an impressive 40% growth in deliveries, the company also missed its own guidance for the year, which projected a 50% growth in production and deliveries for the year. The automaker needed to sell 495,760 vehicles in Q4 to have achieved that guidance.

    Even with the massive year-end discounts... 2023 looking like the year Fisker takes over.

    Not only do Tesla's save lives, they also prevent murders and suicides.
