I also question these sources. I know 3 people with early Tesla Model S over 80k miles and none of them have had any drivetrain issues. There is no way 2/3rds of them require motor replacement after 60k. That was a 2015 article, how about following up in the real world? Like everything else you post in this section, it's misleading and totally disingenuous. BTW, that thread also shows a few guys rebuilding them which you said was impossible a little while back. |

Come on man, Do research before you post https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/thre...ailure.256629/ The first link in post 324 was from 2021, it was follow up of the issue written about in 2015. It's real, it happened. |

You post a scaremongering article from the Christian Science Monitor about how 2/3rds of Model S drive units will need replacement by 60k miles. That did not hold true. It is bullshit. There is no post 324 in the thread you just linked. Last edited by chris719; 01-27-2023 at 04:36 PM.. |

You are looking at your crystal ball, (or is it an magic 8 ball)? Will we ever have reliable EV's? Probably. Will we ever have reliable ICE's why yes, yes will will. We already do in fact. When tesla moved from dead last in the reliability index to 19th place out of 24 major brands, that's proof of EV progress. Only 18 more places to go.

The topic point I'm replying to was how cheap they are to keep on the road, and how their motors never fail. They are not cheap to keep drivable, and their motors do fail. All verifiable. |

I checked. It’s not verification or proof that 60% of drive units needed replacing. The methodology alone is ridiculous. Sampling 300 early units and curve fitting that is not sound. If you do that to the E46 M3 at launch the same way they did this, for example, you would have concluded that every single engine would have died by 60k. 60% of a small group doesn’t mean a lot.

I won’t be caught dead in a Tesla but I’m still pretty confident that they will be cheaper to run than most of the cars they compete with out of warranty. This is a BMW forum, the horror stories are but a click away. |

I don't know what this whole thread is about but I recently tested drove Model Y LR and Audi A5 Sportback Sline. I'd probably take Audi. The fit and finish on Tesla is pretty shitty and it would be hard to drive that everyday. On the other hand, if I look at it from the point of saving some money, less maintenance, maybe it's a good idea to buy one (or perhaps M3P) YLR or M3P cost $44k after tax credit which is reasonable I guess. I have solar panels and about $1200 credit with power company for charging so that makes it even better.
What do you think? Pull the trigger on 2021 Audi fully loaded or Model 3 Performance? Ps. Audi has Android Auto which is SO much better than useless Tesla tablet. And I do admit that Tesla drives nice too, I dont have a problem with that or EV in general. I even like the exterior design, but interior is just night and day difference and comfort too. |

It isn’t for me because of its limitations, but if you got it figured out, do it. The Audi is nice inside but will grow tired quickly… |

It's pretty simple. If you REALLY want to save money you don't buy either of those. Now that we know you don't actually want to save money the choice is much easier. You spent half your post shitting on the Tesla so why would you even consider it. You said "The fit and finish on Tesla is pretty shitty and it would be hard to drive that everyday" so why would you even consider buying it. Get the Audi.
