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.
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
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.

fair enough, you seem to have made up your mind already
