Rated...by...whom?
Have you not seen the long list of recalls, making Tesla the most recalled car brand in history? Sure a fair chunk of those are OTA sofware updates...but still there's a reason they got out first- cutting corners. most of those software updates are fixes for things that should have been found in testing.
also a quick google search will turn up a plethora of hits on quality control that just don't ordinarily happen at other carmakers. The kinds of things that would never hit the sales lot.
I think you're living in your own reality, a bit there.
By car reviewers? People who review cars.
Don't we all, though.
That’s a nice non-answer. So, going out on a limb here…. Tesla bros, Muskie FanBois, and paid reviewers.
In short, the kinds of people who would never give an honest review anyhow. Oh and a quick search shows some possibly not-as-biased reviews at only 34% with a five star (9/ and 10/10) and 26% 4 star, (7/ and 8/10.)
There were 20% 1 star reviews, though. Generally I don’t trust reviews online.
What I do trust is a handful of 8+hour road trips I took driving them (company is perfectly happy letting me rent EV for in-region business trips;) 4 trips in a Tesla, and 2 in a Hyundai, 1 in a Nissan and the kia, and I have to say, even the freaking kia was better than the Tesla, and with comparable range.
Man, you guys let Musk live in your heads rent-free, don't you? It's just a car. You're not a worse person because you're not able to afford one or if you don't like them, or if you deny reality. Ok, that last thing makes you a bit worse, but I forgive you.
