I've always been suspicious of the whole Tesla thing --- always seemed like a flashy/trendy thing.....not to mention a highly subsidized thing...
But Tesla is fishy.....like Consumer Reports giving it 103/100 score....it doesn't happen even with cars they truly love....
....and then Consumer Reports struck the Model-S from the recommendation list because they break down too much: "The main problem areas involved the drivetrain, power equipment, charging equipment, giant iPad-like center console, and body and sunroof squeaks, rattles, and leaks."
http://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla-reliability-doesnt-match-its-high-performance/
Then there was the time they sued BBC's Top Gear because Jeremy Clarkson said: "Although Tesla say it will do 200 miles, we worked out that on our track it would run out after just 55 miles and if it does run out, it is not a quick job to charge it up again."

Or when Musk cancelled some blogger's order because of a post:

Or when Musk said the New York Times lied about their journalist having to have his Tesla towed to a charging station:

Don't get me wrong -- I'm a lifelong car enthusiast -- anything with an engine and wheels (two or four) is beautiful in my eyes....
I also realize some little new car company is not going to suddenly design and build the "be-all end-all" greatest car ever....Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM, etc --- they've been building cars for generations.....They know how to do it, and they protect their secrets.....
The Tesla is an attractive car.....and I was intrigued by it (although IC engines will never be replaced) until I found out how obnoxious Tesla fans are...
Seriously --- I've experienced the rivalry between Ford and Chevy fans, import vs domestic rivalries, and so on....but the green-peace liberals are so snotty and pretentious.....
Which is why I'm chuckling now: The drivetrains are garbage....
BWAAAHAHHA FUCK YOU TESLA AND TESLA OWNERS (including the one who has the license plate: "Lol: oil" ----- what the fuck are your tires made out of asshole)
