... the Tesla Pickup is coming in a few days or weeks. At least one million are already presold. The truck is truly revolutionary and as a truck is superior to any now on the market.

I'd be curious to know the basis for the statement that the Tesla Pickup "is superior to any now on the market."

Tesla has consistently ranked at or near the bottom of all auto manufacturers in customer satisfaction surveys. The two common themes that come up in these ratings seem to be the following:

1. The track records of Tesla vehicles in terms of reliability and repairs have been awful compared to most "legacy" manufacturers.

2. Their vehicles are loaded with a bunch of superfluous electronic gizmos that most customers would never buy as options. (This might be a big factor in Item #1.)

1. The track records of Tesla vehicles in terms of reliability and repairs have been awful compared to most "legacy" manufacturers.

While the sample pool I'm going to base my comment on is rather small, I know three Tesla owners.

None have spent a single dime on repairs in their three plus years of owning one. None of the three has had a single issue and they rave about their vehicles.

I'd be curious to know what the reliability and repair issues the above is based on. Yes, I've read stories about repairs being nightmares, from the small sample of stories I've read about those, they're related to accidents and not to the vehicle quality/reliability itself. Again, a very small sample.

Would appreciate a link or two that talks about your point above. (Not questioning the veracity of your statement, just interested in reading "the other side" of the story.)

was was was..... not is, is, is

The sources you cite not only hate, but fear the innovative Tesla disruption. The American legacy manufacturers are all presently in trouble

I invite you to visit Sandy Monroe for an engineering perspective info on Tesla and especially on the cyber Truck. He actually buys the cars and takes them apart and evaluates literally piece by piece. He makes lots of videos that are factual rather than conjectural.

Again I say I present findings

Here are two:

Tesla is now owner of the gas stations that provide juice for all EV’s. All that matter have joined the TESLA standard. Selling cars has expanded to selling electricity
