I’m a Tesla owner – here’s why electric cars are overrated and a total waste of money
A TESLA owner has revealed why he feels that electric cars are overrated and a total waste of money.
The online commenter, who says they have owned a Model 3 for 14 months, slammed the car as “annoying” in a scathing review.
Major complaints included creaking and rattling noises, “substantial” wind noise at high speeds and “rougher than expected” ride quality.
They also took issue with a lower-than-expected range, a glass roof letting in too much heat and a feeling of overpaying for too few features.
The disgruntled driver explained: “It’s not any big event that causes a bad experience, that just death by a million Tesla-shaped cuts.”
And he was backed up in the comments section by other internet users.
One wrote: “Model 3 owner here.
“The seats are the most uncomfortable I’ve experienced and the cabin is cramped
“The tech is just not mature enough yet.
“It’s like a smartphone in 2013. Lots of beeps, alerts, warnings and inconsistencies.”
Another slammed the vehicles as having build quality equivalent to motors that rolled off production lines in the 1960s.
They added their view that Teslas are “way overrated” given the issues drivers have faced.
It comes after an expert mechanic revealed why, in their opinion, you should never buy an EV.
Meanwhile, Maserati revealed its 202mph fastest car ever – but there is a major drawback.
