    Even if we ignore the muskrat I’m worried about:

    • They fail the first MOT in Denmark.
    • The dash that forces you to look at a screen to operate.
    • The emergency door handles you have to practice finding.
    • The accidents caused by the large engine.

    And then there’s how they service their cars and the OTA updates.

      I’m gonna agree with you on the middle two points as I can’t be arsed to look up the story about Denmark so I’ll just ignore it, but what’s that about the large motor(s) causing accidents? That sounds more like user error to me. To Tesla’s credit, they even have a “chill mode” acceleration setting that makes it way less sensitive.

      I’ll admit I’ve only ever driven one Model Y LR, but even on the full power setting, while it had impressive acceleration, it never felt like I was going to kill myself by looking at the accelerator pedal wrong.
