Every brand isn’t evangelized in the same way the cult of Elon pushed their golden goose.

Maybe, but ask an Alfa Romeo fans about the brand... they are way worse than the Tesla fans... 😉

They’re run of the mill or worse than industry averages.

Look, I can tell way worse things about Renault if I look at how my car came out, so ? And I would concede that Tesla is pretty new to mass producted cars. During the years I found many quality problems also with brand that are even more evangelized and have a way longer history.

Couple this with the ridiculous price point on the vehicles and you have apple cars so to that point I can understand the delusional obsession with the brand and supporting it

In Italy, a couple of models (Y and 3) are pretty much aligned with other brand's cars of the same category, so they don't seems to be that expensive. Or the other brands are too expensive.
