We can disagree about the quality of the interior (I find it to be refreshingly simple, very solidly built and very comfortable; you might think a 3 series or C-Class is “better”, but I find both to be overwrought and distractingly disjointed) Nary a singe rattle or squeak in my car after 25K miles and never a need for any service of any kind.
Sub-mediocre cars around an innovative powertrain...at least the parts Home Depot didn't make.

Good thing you haven't needed repair:

The bottom line for Tesla is the most advanced EV powertrain now available (until Lucid launches) unfortunately wrapped by an underdeveloped, amateur vehicle. Please don't reply with sales numbers. People buy "billions" of what they think is "food" at McD's.
