They still outsource battery cells. Also, the quality of the old, outsourced Brembo brakes and Continental suspensions were far higher than those in a new Tesla. Many Continental air suspensions from 2013 are good as new after 250,000 km, which is a feat even Porsche and Audi will struggle to beat. Nowadays, air suspension failures in the S and X happen allt he time once the five year warranty is expired.
Teslas frequent software updates do more harm than good, and the updates often have bugs in them.
Back in the day you couldn’t get away with saying there here because the gullibles needed to believe Tesla was a wild rnd company to make the financials work
you must have got here before me. this place was wildly anti tesla four or so years ago, and has steadily softened its stance, probably as more and more drivers realized that having the speedometer near the middle of the dash isn’t the end of the world.
True. To be fair, I was also a Tesla Stan once. All the stories were “anecdotes” that wouldn’t happen to me. One drive unit and the battery failed on the warranty. The other DU also failed on the warranty.
The new owner is experiencing battery problems now. 🤡 I sold the car cheaply “as is” and warned him that this could happen anytime, though.
To be fair, it was indeed a cheap car to own while under warranty, apart from the insurance.
