Only in a Tesla review can you speak positively for 17 minutes, point out a few reasonable drawbacks, conclude you may want to lease one, and have the first 20 commenters tell you how you don’t know shit and have lost all credibility. Totally normal and cool. Not a cult.

 

Matt Farah provides a balanced assessment of the Tesla and personal attacks against him aren't surprising, if one has ever followed a Tesla-oriented blog or website.  I posted above an analysis of Tesla's performance in the Consumer Reports, a States-based publication that reviews most consumer oriented products and services, annual reliability review.  

While Tesla has addressed a number of early quality issues, many still remain.  One issue with the Consumer Reports quality measures is every perceived defect has an equivalent weighting, meaning massive engine failure counts the same as a cupholder that is seems too small to the respondent.  Technology, and is its implantation in the car, is the number one problem identified by new car owners.  Sometimes it is a legitimate concern while often it is more an issue with consumer learning.

The following video is of the new Porsche Taycan driven over similar L.A. canyon roads as Farah's drive with the Model 3 Performance.  The Porsche is without peers.
