The days of people believing this crap are thankfully numbered.
It's called reality, there are countless complaints of Teslas failing in the most face palming ways because of shoddy inconsistent quality and over engineered parts that fail that regular cars do not experience.
Like bad brakes on Toyotas? Bad transmissions on Nissans CVT? Bad engines in a ton of Jags?
The number of EV models is much lower, and this article even says "the brand rode on the laurels of..." and then names a few models.
I won't argue that EVs are not as developed as a whole system as other cars, but we use electric engines for darn near everything that spins that we want to spin and beat the crap out of.
Gas power drill? Didn't think so. All EV manufacturers need to step up on build quality, but every major manufacturer is moving to EV.
I've been driving a Leaf and a model 3 for 3 years in Minnesota through the worst weather, and the only issue so far is a tire that blew out because it had a flaw.
0 times to a shop in 3 years.
As for anyone saying they haven't seen teslas hitting 1m miles, Google it. There's literally a guy in northern Europe that has YouTube videos on it.
People need to stop just believing everything they read and spouting it back as fact. Look into it and try it yourself, and when your only complaint after 12 months is "Well, the panel gaps are still ugly," then we can get to the bottom of what "quality issue" metrics need to address. I've seen 1 Tesla on the side of the road ever. Mine, after the tire exploded.
