Totally agree. However if you look at the trend Tesla has set from the start(as opposed to other mfgrs) it's been very positive.

In the same vein if you're buying a relatively new car you're going to have an unknown amount of reliability based on new changes to that model year. How the company deals with that down the road is a similar issue. I remember looking into a Hyundai a long time ago only to find out that they were denying warranty repairs on clutches with ~4k miles that hadn't been abused but were failing.

Interesting. I'm curious about how Tesla will do given their very different commercial and technological models. However, I've never driven one, and the anecdotal comments about them that I've noticed have given me an overwhelmingly negative impression of their brand. Maybe what I've seen so far was just unfortunate and not a fair representation?
