    All Teslas are falling apart, the older ones are just accelerating like their pedals got wedged.

    This is why I won’t buy a Tesla.

    Fortunately for me, used cars with manual transmission are dead cheap here in Slovakia. I think I saw one for 3-4K€ on used car reseller website.

    But Elon said that if i buy a Tesla its value would increase because it will be able to earn you money as an autonomous taxi cab by 2020!

    The other interesting tidbit from this:

    Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.

    That is because everything American has been shit since forever with all the lack rules and regulations, but in the last decade, things really have gone off a cliff

      but they jumped from dead last to top 10 in Consumer Reports’ reliability rankings practically overnight! Surely that means something and surely no greater context could have influenced this???
