I am not terribly anal for fit and finish issues. A car is a tool, not a
trophy. It is an expense, not an investment. A tesla is an extravagance, not
a need. But I sure hate buying gasoline, so since my Leaf lease is expiring I
needed to get something. I am buying this and I bought an airplane once. Only
two times I have bought something I didn’t really need.

Tesla's in general do not have a stellar reputation for "reliability" or build
quality. That said, the M3 scores high, followed relatively closely by the MY.
The two share 80% of their components.
If you drill down on the reliability complaints, it is often to do with
niggling little things like door handles and retracting rear view mirrors and
the like. The MX is horrible for the X-wing doors. There are also on-and-off
issues with build quality (except for the ones made in China). They have been
getting steadily better, and the really new ones I've seen look almost perfect
WRT fit and finish.

Tesla owners I know don’t say anything bad about the car or company.

Are you not concerned at all regarding build quality or longevity with a
company that hasn't been forthright about existing issues, poor warranty
experiences, and don't seem to generally care about their customer service or
customer in general?

We will be coming on the end of our Model 3 lease in September, which,
after so many delivery date changes ( one of which would have been three months
ago! ) corresponds to the delivery date of the Model Y. Getting into and out
of the 3 was just too much for these knees, which are now being replaced. We
have really enjoyed all of the Model 3 features and I think the full autopilot
is just another Musk Troll that fanboys are willing to throw money at. I am
seriously tempted to flip it, if the prices for used stay this high. $20K over
our price would be hard to refuse, with the likely reduction in lead times in
the next year or so as the factories ramp up.

Model 3 They predict Sept to December delivery. $46K 375 mile range
I think. I really like the cruise control. It does lane keeping so I really
don’t see a use for an autopilot.

Which Tesla did you go for? What are they saying for lead time?

Sorry, I started it.
Sometimes it is amusing to watch the Jaime and Steve show. Ken and
Lewis used to join in too but they couldn’t take it anymore. But we do have
the OT in the subject line so you can filter this kind of crap out.
But yeah, I think we have all vented now, and trolled the guys that
need trolling. Steve and Jaime got to make their hyperbolic comments.
So it is now dead until Lent is over. Next year’s lent.
BTW everyone, I ordered a Tesla. My 4th Leaf lease is coming due in
July so I took the leap. Did a test drive today and really loved it. I loved
the last 10 years of Leafs too but man this is a quantum leap of enjoyment.
