They would if Tesla had a reputation for build quality, repairability, and reliability. (None of which they have)

Also they don’t allow aftermarket parts which causes parts bottleneck which delay repairs. Additionally they sometimes unilaterally decide to nerf the software on cars that have been resold.

So I’d probably stay away. Shame though. I’m the sort of person who might if the above were different.

On the face of it $14K for a Tesla is a steal. My dad has been coveting mine and I’ve been on the lookout for a cheap used one. I think I will wait a few months to see if any issues shake out before I get one.

The car is already sold.

From the article:

> The cheapest cars depicted have already sold, so the lowest we found at time of publication was $20,500

Edit: It's 24K right now for me.
