As a very happy Model Y owner, my suggestion is that no one buy a new model Tesla for 3-6 months after release (I would wait 6 personally).

The 3 and Y releases were both train wrecks (esp. the 3), and it looks like Truck may be the same.

Time will tell.

All that said, I think Tesla eventually gets production to where they want it to be.

Not an ounce of ego in that man.


Some people avoid the first model year of any vehicle, to wait until all the bugs are ironed out.

It's not clear whether that makes sense for Tesla which claims to do continuous improvement, and some of their improvements are actually downgrades in disguise.

Also, we're entering month five of the Cybertruck release.

Probably good advice.

Most of Tesla’s “continuous improvement” after the car has been purchased is via the software.

I will just say that I think the software has improved substantially since I got my model y two years ago.


... and if your vehicle was built in the last few weeks of the quarter, hit it with a fine toothcomb for defects.
