Tesla also has quite the reputation for cheaply built cars that are outrageously expensive to repair

The flipside is that you hardly ever have to bring a Tesla into the shop. In the end they are fairly cheap to maintain.

Outrageously expensive to repair sure (though which car isn’t these days, my corrolla got into a fender bender and fixing the bumper was north of $1000), but I’m talking about always in the shop due to shoddy construction. Afaik that doesn’t really apply to teslas.
