Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

    This is true for me, I have an S.

    I’ll also never buy another tesla again but I’ll drive this until the wheels fall off. It’s 5 years old now.

      How is the battery holding up? All Tesla owners I know sold theirs before the 2 year mark worrying that they might need to replace the battery for the price of a new car, always sounded like a misconception to me.

        Holding up fine. I’m about 7% degradation, 2018 over 80k miles on it. 100D. I’ve been very happy with it as far as anything goes. Never serviced, just a few things like lights that I needed replaced.

      You’re not entirely wrong, they get stereotyped as being rural poorer types but they tend to be closer to the people mentioned above, though perhaps not the exact demographic.

    IMHO Tesla is too unreliable. There are enough EVs available that are more reliable (and cheaper).

      I just want an EV that is:

      -Reasonably priced.

      -User repairable/modifiable.

      -No stupid luxury gimmicks (fake “self driving” or “self parking”, 360° cameras for outside view, electronic locks that will most likely fail in a couple years, etc…)

      -NO FUCKING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES like those stupid heated seats!!
