In practical terms, maintenance used to be a bottleneck. Didn’t know if it still is. If you always need to go to Tesla for maintenance, it’s going to get ridiculously expensive.

And then there’s the philosophical side. Who wants to drive a car associated with filth like Elon.

Other than that, getting a used Tesla could be nice.
