I don't need to justify my purchase decision to anyone, nor do I need to rationalize it.
What I will do though is call out hypocrisy, such as quoting only sound-bites that support a specific point of view without acknowledging the larger reality of the situation.
All that said, Happy motoring!

I thought we were winding this down, prior to the "hypocrisy" comment.
The issues that the amateurs at Tesla self-inflicted were not similar in scope, intensity, duration, nor inability to correct quickly as compared to almost anyone else in the industry. Much written about this is searchable online, especially by tear-down experts. I recall one comparison in body construction of Model 3 to a "1990's Kia". (In fairness, those reports have improved with Model Y, apparently better designed, although assembly remains a major challenge.)
When in history has CR ever had to withdraw a recommendation for another car due to excessive quality defect reports?
Some corroborating evidence in this link of Tesla's unique accomplishments as noted by owners, perhaps more clear-eyed than some other owners.

Now that this has reached pointlessness, may it rest? You are happy with your car and Tesla built an unusually large volume of poor ones. Both are true.
