While I understand the concerns about the company's branding and leadership, owning a Tesla is actually a dream of mine =D

Despite everything, Tesla owners report being incredibly satisfied with their vehicles (think I saw a survey the were happiest?). Performance, innovation, and environmental benefits... Unfortunately, buying one is not within my budget at the moment. It's a goal I'm working towards, and hopefully, by the time I can afford it, the issues you've highlighted might see some resolution =P

People who buy expensive things are more satisfied with them.

That doesn't mean they are objectively better or that is correct.

Edit: an analogy: I have a really nice expensive mechanical watch but my shit $10 Casio is objectively more useful and keeps time better. So that get used more.

Because being dissatisfied with it would mean admitting to themselves that they made a very expensive mistake, and that doesn’t feel good.

Many addicts are very satisfied with their drugs.

Why not rent one for a week and see if you really like it that much?
