A survey of real Tesla owners

some people make me feel inadequate.

 

this would be an interesting survey of prius owners.

 

I think the current Consumer Reports is our best source. Their former anti-Prius tendencies have finally retired or laid off and left the payroll.

Bob, I believe there is a lot about this survey you would like.
As I recall, there are a number of your issues with the CR reports that this survey does a much better job on.
I don’t believe it is more valid, due to the small number of respondents (193), however their methodology is plainly laid out.
I also enjoyed the method used to weed out bad actors.

Here is a link to the survey results and methodology. Tesla Model 3 Owners Survey

 

I thought the survey was clever. Just such a detailed survey for one model doesn't really support comparisons with other products ... not that I care. SuperCharger capacity with CHAdeMO fall back works for me.

Good point, this survey has no comparison tools. I believe it is simply an attempt to give people a better idea of the rate of issues.

 

you see all the same issues here, just no way of knowing percentages.

 

BS! I'm not one of them.

but you could be.

 

that's our exact take on the X, & charging infrastructure. We were pretty suspicious going in - that the X could be buggy. It has not failed to meet our suspicions but the SC has done ok at bug fumigation.
Refueling infrastructure was/is the great Tesla trump card for us - & combines well w/CHAdeMO's soso availability - which does ok in a convenience pinch, providing juice in the 'distant' areas - whenever we make those rare multi 100 or multi 1,000-mile trips. Our interstate trip to Park City Utah comes to mind ... as it's a DC CHAdeMO only resort town (with several 9kW - 11kW wall chargers) but it worked. Such trips would be inconvenient without the availability of both.
