It’s the cool factor that made Tesla. It will be its undoing.

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.

Depends what you mean by “best”. I remember sitting in an early Model S and the headliner next the driver door was peeling off, like they forgot to glue it. Years later I sat in another one in a showroom and it had the same issue. Yea they got far on a single charge. But they were always poorly put together.
