I've had one since 2015 and so many issues. When I share them on Reddit I'm downvoted into oblivion for going against the cult

It's gotten better in the last few years, now that millions of people share the issues, it's harder to drown them out

Doesn't seem to matter whatsoever for their stock, so that doesn't seems to be too relevant

Some context for others - 2015 is fairly early in Tesla's history. The model 3 didn't even exist until 2017. The overwhelming majority of Teslas on the road today are Y's and 3's.

FWIW, I've personally owned three Teslas with zero problems, but none older than 2019. YMMV.

Early or not, it sure stings when you get hit with a $15k battery replacement cost -- for a refurbished pack! -- literally the day after the warranty dies. And that's only because my parents hadn't driven for a week. All because of an a corroded interior wire they refused to repair? Yet they had refurbished packs to sell.. at $15k.....

I also have a 2017 and 2023. It's a little early to declare success if your oldest car is 5yo

Tesla is a memestock. There's no reason it should be as high as it is; the fundamentals aren't that great and Musk is a danger to the company whether he's in or out of government.
