I love that they were leaving flowers.

The Model X is notorious for this. I know a doctor who just had to fix his Model X's suspension for "thousands" (his words). He also complained that you can never ever reach anyone at Tesla, that parts are impossible to get and that you have to expect repair appointments to be pushed back at least a few times, often mere days beforehand.

At least the batteries seem to last forever, even on his very early Model S, even after hundreds of thousands of kilometers. There's barely any degradation. Then again, this mirrors other EVs, even much cheaper ones without active cooling. EV battery packs usually outlast the cars they are in, which is why there's a thriving market of second-hand batteries that are used for all sorts of applications, from converting normal cars into EVs to storing solar power at night.
