i hear you, but i still don’t understand why these tesla fans continue buying these cars if they are as bad as you claim.
perhaps there are other features that compensate for the build quality, causing people to continue buying Teslas at an increasing rate?
Possibly, but my guess is that it's mostly hype, ignorance, active resistance to facts they don't like, Stockholm syndrome, and/or mindless adoption of new technology with zero regard for potential negative consequences.
For instance, I think you have a screw loose if you trust a Tesla enough to park it inside your own garage, especially if your garage is attached to the house you sleep in and you regularly charge the vehicle overnight. But many people seemingly have no problem doing exactly that.

have you taken one for a test drive before? might be worth trying to get a full understanding of why tesla proponents continue to buy them
reply
I would never entertain buying a vehicle that maintains a data connection to the company that made it. Tesla has the ability to turn off features like Supercharging via OTA updates on a whim, and they've done exactly that. That's a non-starter for me. I want to own the things I buy, not rent them.

i don’t mean buying the car, i mean going to a tesla store and taking a car for a test ride to see the car in action for yourself.
all tesla stores offer free test drives, and it would allow you to form a more nuanced position on the pros and cons of tesla’s cars.
you can inspect all the panel gaps up close, see the new features tesla offers, etc…

I don't need to test drive a Tesla to inspect panel gaps. Every time I see one on the road, I look at the panel gaps, and every single time I see misalignment. They're so bad you can spot them from several car lengths away.
It's not acceptable for a luxury car company to get the basics so wrong.
