Short answer, build quality. The Plaid was only 3 months old when I drove it, and already the interior dash and steering wheel had surface coatings rubbed off. It's like they painted the dash and steering yoke and the paint was rubbing off. When I closed the doors they would rattle and shake the car, and I had to slam the doors to get them to fully close. It seemed like the doors were not aligned properly. The car was quick, but also felt very heavy and made me unsure that the power could be contained. The brakes seemed to be inadequate and mismatched for the power of the motors. I felt no confidence that the car could be controlled when driven hard. Bottom line, I have been driving only BMW, Mercedes and Audi for the past 20 years and I believe this experience has led me into a certain expectation of build quality and handling. The Tesla did not conform to my expectation of quality. |
