Literally the only bad things I hear about EVs other than Tesla is the brake fluid drying out from never being used because of regen braking, or batteries being expensive to replace and kinda necessary when buying used, or stock tires being cheap.
Only Tesla has headlines that make it to my screen about fires, exploding, steering wheels falling off, getting stuck in full throttle, spying on people at their homes and the workers passing around the videos and just being creepy, dying from rain, people accessing the someone else’s Tesla from their app or something, etc.
But as they say ‘all press is good press’. Whenever someone talks about EVs it always seems to be Tesla.
Check out the Mozilla car privacy study published recently. While Tesla is at the top of the list for privacy violations, they all do it. The quality control issues are mostly real on Tesla vehicles, but it seems to be very exaggerated. It’s been a while since I saw anyone mention the EV Mustang’s roof literally flying off of their cars, which you have to admit is a pretty serious problem. And Teslas are definitely not catching fire left and right.
Musk is a terrible person with some really bad takes. That said, I think it’s better to criticize him and his work for they actual and very real problems rather than exaggerations.

Musk (and Tesla) are extremely polarizing for headlines and drive clicks.
Just shitty business.
