Wanted a biggish quick car, and the "free unlimited supercharging" deadline pushed me to make the decision sooner than I might have otherwise.
I seriously considered the Audi S6, but it has not been updated in a while and I think a refresh is coming real soon. I might have chosen to wait for it, but the overall Tesla factor pulled me in stronger even though I've been an Audi guy all along.
Little did I know about some of the more troublesome and "riskier" parts of Tesla ownership though, just comparing with my past experiences with new Audis (not going to factor old Audi's and issues over the long run as I am comparing new car vs new car)
Delays in getting features upto spec (No clue that AP2 was nowhere near AP1 when I paid for my car), with any other car, you get what is advertised on the day you pay for the car
Cost of service, Audi-care is 1k for 4 years, Tesla is close to $2500? Doesn't make sense to me
Delay in getting parts (I have been given an "indefinite" wait time on replacing my touch-screen trim bezel), some folks seem to be waiting endlessly for more critical parts it seems and that is troublesome
Quality and ability to "repair" the car seems questionable based on forum threads, but this is tough to gauge
Initial quality issues (squeaks, shudders, mirror folding etc) and paint quality issues (easiest paint to scratch among anything I've owned), Audi's paint is quite a bit more durable in comparison even with poor quality washes
Delay in service (Had my car in for 2 days to tell me "automatic wipers" are not yet functional due to software), I'd had my car returned to me the same day or the very next day for pretty much any visit I've been to Audi for)
Poor training and logistics overall, tough to blame the people here because Elon keeps changing things, proper info is easier to find in a forum than contacting their CS/delivery folks, it should be the other way around
Constant change in features, components in car without following model-year scheme (this is really unfair to the customer who never really knows what exactly they will get until they get it, for example I didnt know I will not get the "next-gen" MPB seats until I picked up my car)
Cost of ownership not exactly cheap (insurance is high, its the same as two new Audi's combined for me)
But all that said, the overall experience is still positive and I don't regret my decision one bit, the car is a dream to drive and the tech even though not as caught up as promised is still leagues ahead of several competitors. Just the tech available right now is so easy to use and nicer than the Audi and EAP even at its crippled stage right now is so easy to use and convenient.
I look forward to what else the car can do over the next 3-4 years which is a really exciting proposition compared to ANY other car that you own that just stays the same over the time you own it.
