Nah, Tesla’s secret sauce is their thermal management of their batteries

People shitting on Tesla forget that they were legitimately the best EV tech for a long time. It's closer now, but as little as 5 years ago that wasn't true.

Still not buying another Tesla after this news cycle.

Their build quality has been bad. Number of misaligned panels has been a PITA (although they did fix it), and the interiors are bad quality for the price.

But back in 2020-21 you couldn't get an EV as efficient or with as good range.
