- The people buying actual Tesla cars aren't sweating these things. It *will* be an issue if the Model 3 has the same issues. - TWuG Oct 20, 13:28 2

gotta love this: '..owners were increasingly discontent with having spent near $100,000 on a car that spent a good portion of its life on the flatbed - decline Oct 20, 13:12 3
