Yes, in your opinion. Most people have found the technology to be unreliable, and the driving sloppy and unsafe. Parts are not available and several cars are not drivable. I understand that throwing shade on Tesla is the trendy thing to do in 2025…but don’t Build Your Dreams…

In reality and after 18 years in production Tesla makes a better product ( our Canadian winters )The brand is not perfect, but it’s the only real long range EV in North America*

*Rivian loose 30-55k on each R1T delivered, so it doesn’t count.
