There are many, many Tesla owners who gloss over the imperfections because they're so loyal to the brand but I don't think this benefits anyone in the long run. I noticed this same behavior in the VanMoof (eBike) community. Tesla is actually pretty good at listening to customer complaints and feedback and making hardware/software changes. I think these cars are mind-blowingly advanced but they aren't for everyone. I'm pretty patient when it comes to technology and I'm willing to put up with a few glitches here and there but I can't imagine someone owning one who doesn't have at least a basic understanding of tech.
As the son of a diehard Hemi fan I thought I'd miss the noise but I don't at all. It's such a pure experience to hit that accelerator and feel the nonstop pull of that G-force. Without the acceleration boost add on ($6k) this car does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds but it feels way faster due to the instant torque.
I think I'll develop a new appreciation for it too once I can charge at home. It'll be way more convenient. My plan is to keep this for a decade. From what I've heard from some of the original Model S owners battery degradation is only about 15-20% after a decade (if you take care of the battery) so it'll still have enough usable range.
Getting software updates on your car has to be an awesome feeling. I know I love when a new version of iOS comes out.
I'm surprised you were able to get over the quietness of the car so quickly, but I guess it really is just that much fun to drive. I've only ever ridden shotgun inside of a Y once, and never had the chance to drive any Tesla.
Hopefully, you can get that charging situation ironed out soon. Where I live is also a terrible place to charge.
They release a "Christmas present" update every year with lots of extras. I haven't gotten this yet but it's supposed to be loaded with new features. It is really an amazing thing to anticipate. Some of the features are really useful.
I was coming from a fairly quiet vehicle already, the Prius, so I think that helped. I can honestly say though I don't miss the noise one bit.
Our building plans to add electricity to every parking stall within the next two years but I don't think we'll be here any longer than another year (fingers crossed). My ultimate dream is to be able to power this with solar eventually.
