I bought a brand new refreshed 2022 Model S and the build quality was a joke. Big panel gaps..creaking interior panels.. It even made underbody flexing noises at 13,000 miles. Tesla Service would not do anything, calling every issue - within spec. Couldn't stand it and sold for a silly 50K loss. Now onto an X, not much better. If I get one again I would lease one.

I've been a car person for years, but knew little of Tesla specifics (or any electric car), thanks. When leasing, I always recommend asking what the "money factor" is; essentially the interest rate, but it's a long number but you can convert it and compare it easily. Also, the residual value at lease end has a significant impact on your payment....brands and models that plummet in value after they are considered "used" may prove costlier than you realize.

Excellent review!! With the air conditioner, I had a similar problem. We took delivery of our 2020 X and a month later began a cross country roadtrip to Oregon. When we were driving over the continental pass on I-80 the A/C suddenly went out, at first only for a short time, then more frequently after driving for a couple of hours in hot, dry climate. When we reached our destination I made an appointment with the service center in Portland. They kept the car and gave me a loaner of a ‘13 S, which drove well, but caused me to miss the advances they had made between’13 and ‘20. Also, while in Oregon, my screens went black which startled and greatly concerned me, but they rebooted themselves in two-three minutes. I later learned that it is good policy to reboot them yourself periodically, especially after watching one of the theater apps.

The falcon doors are great for accessibility and make it easy for my Mom to get in the back as she has bad knees. Software updates have just made it better and better. This one's a keeper.

Two: The wall connector charger you have in your house, the wire can be wrapped around it and the charge part itself has a spot it can fit in instead of just hanging there. Also a tip, not sure if you do, but you can schedule the car to charge at off peak times at home to save money on your electricity bill. Otherwise, great review!

This was an awesome review really enjoyed the honest feedback. Leasing is a great option I believe with Tesla when your lease ends you have to give the car back to them, with most other manufacturers you can purchase the car at the end of the lease, sell the car or just turn it back in. For 108k you should get a lot more than you have. I appreciate Tesla because without them we would not have all the amazing Electric vehicles on the road today not to mention all the new models on the way.

Well done with your video. Your humor was pretty funny to me👍🏽. The video was also the story of my life. I gave up model 7 and miss it dearly and not just because of the extremely high gas prices. I really liked my vehicle but the repairs were Inexcusable and costly. . I traded a BMW B7 Alpina.for my Tesla just to sell it back to CarMax I traded my 2016 X to Carmax after just 7 months of owning the X. I was $6500 in the hole with maintenance. The trade was an investment because carmax paid more than what I owed due to demand for the vehicle. Unfortunately, I barely broke even given the money spent trying to keep the car on the road. My AC broke as well but I only had a 7 day tesla service wait time unlike your car. I had 2 ball joints repaired, weird squeaking noises from the front wheel, given a estimate to replace the front axle, front suspension malfunction , wheel molding or trim issue around the tires blew off while driving. I get it replace and three weeks later, the car wash ripped the other trim from the opposite site side. I couldn’t catch a break, I had 1 cracked ‘20 rim, ($900 to replace) a broken rear seat belt buckle, signal arm controller went bad and the center glass roof just blew off on the highway. I get home, look outside my upstairs window, look down at my X and notice the center glass roof is gone. All in 7 months The quality was so frustrating with the vehicle and disappointing because I really liked my X but simply couldn’t rationalize the repairs not covered by Tesla. BTW. I bought a used X from non Tesla dealer; PLEASE do not ever ever buy a Tesla from anybody but Tesla. You’ll likely have a few issues here and there but you’ll have some coverage with warranty repairs.

[@billt913]

The Porsche Cayenne story got me thinking that the better choice isn't to buy new or lease - it's to buy a 4 year old car, at least in the Cayenne category. That's actually what I did when buying a plug-in hybrid several years ago, and it's still running great. I spent so little on it (and paid in cash) that my cost per mile must be quite low, and I can sell it any time without worrying about losing much vs. my purchase price.

I am on my second MS and honestly I had not taken my car to the service station for any problem. I drove my 2015 S 85 for 6 years and 20K miles and had no issues. I got the refreshed MS (LR) for about a year and no problems (touch wood) so far. I did get the recall notice of airbag but I am assuming that it is in the interest abundant caution. One thing that you did not mention is the OTA updates that adds functionality to the car that no other OEM is doing.

We are trained to tune out the noise and the fad, and focus on the build quality and the technical specs of a car for ourselves. Even if these look good, the price tag MUST make sense. Based on my analysis, Teslas fail royally on all fronts! It is for these reasons that people like me gravitate to brands like Lexus, Acura, and BMW. They know how to build reliable production luxury cars. Tesla has a long way to go to get there.

Hi, very comprehensive review! More like days in the life of a Tesla owner vs day in the life. The video review started off with enough praise to which I would consider buying a Tesla then brought me down to the issues with ownership and for me, it was a wash. My current petrol based van runs without issues, is paid for, and rarely go for long distances requiring few trips to the pump. Oh yeah the gasoline station is less than a quarter mile away and there are many others that are less than a few miles away. Wait in line for the pump? Only had to wait once for one car and that was less than 5 minutes -not a hour like most charging stations. So in conclusion I am happy with my 2013 Mazda and don't have any inclinations to change! Although nice to get your husband's views, It was difficult to understand your husband though so I fast forwarded through his talk. Other than that your video was very inciteful. Thanks for sharing.

If I were looking at a electric car it would only be a Tesla. Why? I worked in manufacturing for 50 years, both on the floor in assembly, and 40 years as an Degreed Engineer in Automotive Industry. There is a huge learning curve in the beginning the design and manfacturing of a car, especially a new type like an electric car. Tesla has been through that learning curve for many years. Many of their initial design and manufactuing problems have been solved and they continue to learn. Now take GM, Ford, and Chrysler, Riven and etc. and the first owners are going to experience many quality, and functional problems in the first several years. I rather go with a proven car when they cost $ 50,000 - $ 120,000 to buy. Even if you have to wait, it is better waiting for a quality Tesla, instead of getting a car with problems from first time production.

Actually you can remotely give access to someone so that they drive the car. Sad that new S and X here are still delayed :( would love to check one in person. Good review overall :)

[@yashuh]

I have a 2016 X that’s nearing 200,000 miles. It’s about to undergo a battery replacement because at maximum capacity the range is 190 miles. I’ve been fully charging to capacity since new, because YOLO. I remember when it would charge to 254 miles. Happy times!

[@frank-phuoctrinh4446]

That should be a normal 75% after 6-7 years (u might been charged to full 100%? which should be 80-90%) with heavy drive ~30kmi/yr -> consider $10-15k battery replacement? or trade-in for a new Tesla?

[@gototcm]

Thanks for your honest review and you convinced me. I'm buying a gas-powered car instead for half the price with no fancy electronics to close my doors that will probably fail in a few years.

I used to work for Toyota as a sales person, they were pushing us to sell the lease option, but every time lease option ends, the buyer pays every thing all over again, tax, extra mileage cost... purchasing is better than leasing!

[@cjwilson54]

Maybe for a Toyota but I leased 2 vehicles from Ford and the car was worth less at the end of the lease than the residual value. In my case they were both C-Max Plug-in hybrids and for a lease of $105/ month I shaved several minutes a day off my commute by driving in the HOV lanes.

Finally an honest review about Teslas. Yes they go fast, yes they have cool tech, but the quality is not that great. Three failures in two months for a $120000 car. Not acceptable. My new car is three years old and has not failed at all during that time and it cost $45000. It drives itself as well and the air conditioning works. Thanks again for an honest review!!!

I think you can purchase more miles with leasing if you think you have a change of mind, however, it will cost you but might still be cheaper than going over your miles on the lease term.

[@stevedowler2366]

So sorry to hear such a poor experience with your brand new car! Very good choice, however as the room for the kids and the safety are very important. The order to delivery problems are common. At my order, I was given a date at the end of March 2022 and after 12 different date changes, delivery occurred at the end of March 2022! The model Y had no fit and finish problems except for an interior trim piece not fully in place. I placed a service appointment but that target date changed 6 times and I had to leave the state so I cancelled. That is apparently just the Tesla way as Zemka (sp?) said the focus is on tech not sales and service and not initial quality. Sell it now and fix it later seems to be the rule. I may place an order next year for a new model and then sell or trade my Model Y at delivery. It will probably pay for the new one given the used Tesla market. Cheers and drive safely.

Hi the "Nurse Next Door": Gasoline Prices and Electric Powers/ Electricity going up and down on the same scale. When Crude Oil/ Natural Gas going up so is Electricity Price. (If you live in California, the State relies 71% on Fossils Fuels to generate Electricity. Solar powers in sunshine state can be down like this Winter. There are not enough sunny days and Snow covered Solar Panels/Faces Electricity generated by Solar or Wind might not be the same ─ while as Natural Gas will produce a steady Input/Output of Electricity. Currently, there are only 2% BEV like Teslas etc. on the Roads and Manufactured versus Gasolines and Hybrid, in 2016, there had been 70 Million or more of Vehicles (ICE - Internal Combustion Engines) using Gasoline/Diesel or Hybrid Manufactured. The Mines that currently produce Lithium, Cobalt, Magnesium and Palladium ─ for BEV's ─ with percentage of 3% of all Vehicles (these mines, mostly controlled by Chinese) are at their best of 90% capacity Productions; assumed an increase of BEV productions to just 20-25% of current Vehicles (there have been only about 1.5 to 2 million BEV Manufactured last year 2022, or about 3% of all Vehicles Made in 2022 ) ─ what would be the costs for Batteries (As we would need 10-time the supplies of Lithium Mining and Cobalt) … etc.? Demands vs Supplies ─ remember, when China and India were still in under-developed Nations; 1990's Crude Oils were under $15 Greenback a Barrel. (What is Crude Oil now? $70-85 per barrel range). Look at the Prices of Crude Oils now vs then 1990's. So, we do not know how the Mathematical Equations of Pricing's and Supplies would be Extrapolated? The Assumptions that Technology will advance and the cost will go down; it has not been true, Data/Statistics shown, Gasolines and Crude Oils had not come down, Explorations and Midstream, Downstream have advanced but prices have been more than 4x. We should rely on how much we can reduce CO2 emissions. by driving less and drive a smaller vehicle if the need for a larger vehicle is not a "must"; BEV are not the Solutions; a CyberTruck would pollute more than a Honda ICE Civic and cost a lot more. We should be honest to ourselves ─ and know to identify between "What we really need vs What we want" ... If you want to buy a Tesla, and can afford then buy one; but if you needed a economical vehicle then buy a top of the line Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Cheers. Addendum: { Factored in China and India Demands ─ which is only approximately double the units of Cars/Trucks supplied to USA and Canada (numbers of Vehicles (Cars/Trucks/SUV's with 4 or more wheels; not counting Motorbikes or Scooters alike) ─ sold to China and India about the same as USA and Canada respectively [during decade 2010-2020] * (note: China is 4x the US Populations; and India is 40x Canada Population.) }

Excellent Review. You handled those two catastrophic events with your car with far more composure than I could have. I think after watching this review, Tesla is a firm NO for me. I need a car to just work day in and day out. Lexus (and Toyota) is the way to go for me for the forseeable future.

When you were at the Tesla dealership with your air conditioning problem, how much do you want to bet the rep came out personally to check on the issue because they were notified that you had a camera crew and was recording the experience? If they didn’t see your camera filming, you would have had to stick with the app and wait like everyone else.

3:57, don't slam the frunk it is aluminum for lightness. You are supposed to drop it to the latch and then press with your hands to lock it in place. Does not take any force to do, but slamming it does not work at all and can bend the hood over time. Also that frunk is huge, we have a Model 3 and can easily shop for 4 days of groceries within the frunk. Model X should do a hole week of shopping no problem.

Never put your hands through the "holes' on the steering yoke. Always hold the outside or the bottom of the yoke, when your hands slip forward, make sure all the fingers can go outside of the yoke, none of them will get caught by the yoke.

You should not slam to close the frunk like an ICE car, just gently put it down, put your hands between the logo, and press. You could damage the aluminum if not closing it properly.

I loved your review. Everything was dead on. I have a 2013 Tesla and again the quality is not that great before I head a 2007 Lexus I 350 which was three times the car. Also, I agree with you with the personal touch with Tesla. My car after owning it for two months had to drive unit failure which took out something in the battery. Tesla wanted $28,530.13 to repair. Now, I’m 64 and not rich so I just spent $35,000 on a car and could not in anyway afford a $30,000 repair. Tesla was not helpful saying you just bought $100,000 car and should expect repairs to be expensive. Mind you the car was only nine months out of its 8 year warranty and the warranty was for 150,000 miles and my Tesla only had 89,000 miles on it. Then of course I wanted to find out if there are other options for repair, Tesla, is pretty much the only game in town. If I would’ve got my car fixed there I probably would’ve been bankrupt. However, I did find a company in Texas that fixes them instead of replacing everything at about a third the cost. After 10 weeks I’m driving my Tesla again but it might be my last one. I love the performance, and how smooth and clean and simple they are. On the other hand their way over designed technologically versus engineering required. They just need to build a car that’s worth spending the money meaning you don’t mind making the investment because you know the car will last. Anyway, very good review and even on my used Tesla many of your experiences matched any of mine. Thank you for sharing! I want to add that if people Own their Teslas, love them I hate them, get rid of them before the warranty runs out because Tesla does not want to help find a viable solution. Only simple and easy cost in thousands of dollars!
