What is good about Tesla cars? What about their quality? A summary of pros and cons of Tesla cars.

Tesla has always been a pioneer in the field of electric cars in the last decade. When people decide to switch from gas-powered vehicles to electric vehicles with a budget around 30.000 to 50.000 dollars, their first consideration is Tesla. So what exactly is good about Tesla cars? And what are the drawbacks?

Pros of Tesla cars

Excellent battery management system
Tesla’s battery management system (BMS) has always been a cutting edge technology that other manufacturers are trying to catch up with. Tesla has a total of 3304 patents globally, and a big portion of them are for the battery management system, cooling, safety, etc. Which can guarantee the safety of the battery during the use of the vehicle, and to slow down capacity loss as much as possible.
High brand recognition
Since Tesla was one of the best brands advocating for electric mobility, it has always been the brand associated with electric mobility in the eyes of most customers. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a brand that is well-known to adults as well as children, even in the eyes of some people who do not know much about cars, which gives the brand the feel it is not ordinary.
High Residual Value
Tesla cars usually have a high resale value. For example Tesla Model Y has the highest residual value among EVs. Typically in four years of ownership, the car retains 64% of its original value, which is the best among all electric cars. On the EV market there are a lot of cars with a lot of differences, which is very important as consumers can find a vehicle that fits their needs and budget. However, one of the important indicators for customers when buying a new car is the residual value, which makes Tesla cars one of the best choices.
High degree of intelligence

The software of all Tesla Models support OTA upgrades, so there will be no backwardness in the car and its computer system. Secondly, all Tesla models have canceled most of the physical buttons used to adjust the cabin heating, air conditioning, headlights, etc in the car and integrated many features into the touchscreen, and almost all functions support intelligent voice control.
In addition, Tesla’s autonomous driving assistance system is a cutting edge technology in the automotive industry. The car collects continuous data to strengthen its own algorithm and provide the user with a better driving experience.

Of course, Tesla is not all good. Actually there are many drawbacks to consider when trying to buy a Tesla.

Cons of Tesla cars

Limited Color Options and esthetics
The visual appeal of your vehicle may resemble that of many others, as Teslas are increasingly prevalent on today’s roads. When acquiring a Tesla, you are limited to a standard choice of approximately four colors, with only a few potential upgrades available.
Long waiting time
Nowadays, when ordering a car through Tesla’s official website, the best-selling Model Y is expected to take at least 3 months to be delivered, and Model 3 needs to wait for more than 4-5 months to complete delivery, not to mention Model X and Model S.
High maintenance costs
Except for the Model 3, Tesla’s other models all use aluminum alloy integrated forged bodies, and the Model 3’s body uses a large amount of high-strength steel and aluminum mixed metals, which directly leads to very expensive maintenance costs for Tesla models.
Many negative reports
When it comes to Tesla cars, the first thing many people think of is “brake failure”. In recent years, Tesla has been exposed to suspected brake failures, leading many people to think that this car is not safe at all.
