I sold my £124k Tesla Model S – it was terrible quality with rubbish range… it’s just not worth the money
A MAN has revealed the reasons why he sold his £124,000 Tesla Model S, saying it just wasn’t worth the money.
The executive saloon helped put Elon Musk’s company on the map when it launched in 2012 but it seems not everyone is happy with it.
A TikToker known as “DrSpouse” who describes himself as a “WFH husband” took to the social media site to say why he didn’t like the electric car in a post called “five reasons I sold my Model S”.
The first reason was “build quality” while “Tesla service” was another issue.
Third was “long lines” to recharge the battery and “false range” was also a factor.
Lastly, “FSD [Full Self-Driving] is not worth it.”
The pinned post has been viewed around 81,500 times, gaining 1,116 likes and more than 100 comments.
Responding to a comment DrSpouse added that he “won’t be buying another one… ever.”
Many commentators were in agreement with him.
One person wrote: “100% facts!! I went back to a Lexus.”
Another posted: “I agree 100 per cent.”
While a third said: “All reasons why I won’t purchase one! I wanted one so bad!”
Although there were also some Tesla fans out there.
One commented: “Best to drive though. You will regret. Believe me, even if you drive the highest end car.”
Another added: “My Model 3 is the best car ever.”
While someone else chipped in with: “Have a Model 3 and got a Model S a month ago. Two of the best cars I’ve had. Service centre service does suck but mobile service is great.”
“DrSpouse” isn’t the only one unhappy with the Tesla Model S.
In June, one owner who forked out £70,000 for his EV said the car was plagued with so many problems he couldn’t even make basic trips.
Similarly in May, a Tesla owner who bought a top-of-the-range Model S Plaid slammed the quality of the car and warned others about making a purchase.
Driver Myong Hong also blasted the vehicle saying he had encountered 10 problems with the EV.
