I am not surprised the guy bought a Chrysler 300. Do you know how long these cars were in production now? Way over 15 years and there's a reason for that. They're well worth the money, well built, reliable, up-to-date technology and easy to get parts and very powerful and economical to run. I won't touch a Tesla for nothing. I have been hearing about their bad quality for years, but people most buy them for status and to say they own a Tesla. I'd buy an electric vehicle from a real car dealer but never Tesla. Tesla's in the business strictly to make money. They don't have a clue about mechanics or quality control. I'd buy another Fiat or Alfa Romeo before a Tesla.

Fiat and Chrysler are the two great pillars of unreliable cars, i guess you are comparing apples to apples if you are trying to compare between unreliable cars.

Tell me, which major automotive company isn't in it for the money?

That is the funniest made up article I have ever read. Thanks for the entertainment!  Trading one of the most sought after cars for a piece of junk Chrysler 300! I am always amazed at the lengths and lows that Tesla haters, or should I say EV haters, will go.

I think tesla's electrical side is good but its vehicle side is rubbish .
Still lot to learn on the latter.
It is an EV so it needs to be good in both fields.

Tesla quality control and customer service is the absolute worse. I sold my M3 b/c Tesla refused to fix problems with brand new car straight from the assembly line. Plus I drive 160miles a day I spent most of my time charging vehicle. It wasnt conducive to my driving habits.

The reason being these were co-designed sharing a platform from the long gone Daimler-Mercedes partnership, not the usual crap pumped by the FCA group that succeeded it, or even the crap that preceded that Mercedes partnership. It's still a 15 years old model made by a company that rivals the "quality assurance" track record (or lack of thereof) of Tesla.

I respect gymnastics as a sport, but not when it comes to crucial things such as road safety and touting 15 year old projects as amazing, when they were literally built for a different era of safety regulations.

This "news" should just read "guy with poor judgement continues having poor judgement". That's the whole TL;DR from this story.

You know the Tesla is good if some random guy's trade makes the news 😂

I own a Chrysler 300 and love it. Sport model. Commute 400+ miles for work twice a month plus intown driving for work. Electric is not practical for people like me. But my real question is. Why our government is pushing Electric so strongly and the government is driving Gasoline ( guzzlers to add). Lead by example. I am just saying......

This article's intentions are obvious, just trying to smear tesla for bullshit reasons, the writer is paid and biased, and the guy in the story I'd a dumb a**. If you think ice cars are better than electric cars and more environmentally friendly then you are a genius 😉

What kind of moron does not figure out that he has actual physical buttons on his steering wheel? Two rolling buttons that increase and decrease the volume, and increase or decrease the AC? Or with a click mute and unmute or turn the AC on and off?

He is right about the cheap carpet. But what kind of moron does not immediately put in rubber or plastic mats to protect the carpet from sand, water, messes?

The panel gaps are a thing. If you cannot abide those then earlier Teslas are not for you, and never could be.

Wow @ even writing this article. Anecdotal and given some of the "facts" stated, I'm assuming not verified.

I own two model S and I promise a mirror is not $1k.

Of all the rentals I've had over the past 5 years, the Ford Fiesta with automatic transmission was the worst, but a close second was the 2018 Chrysler 300s. It was so bad i returned it the next day and got a different car.

Why is this article even on "Notebook Check" if not just an obvious hit piece.

But the worst part is claiming Chrysler has better build quality than ANY other manufacture. They're consistently the worst. Mercedes had to stop letting them build the high end cars because it was ruining their reputation.

My family has 4 Teslas between us. Only the model S has had some issues but it's a first gen and still running great. Our 3x model 3s have been mostly great. A few issues here and there, but nothing major.

All this to say this article has me unsubscribing from Notebook Check updates.

The anal blood misting of 'Yesla' fangirls is palpable through the screen.

Plenty of people reverting to Gasoline cars if you care to read about it. As for the 300C Hemi being slow? 0 to 60 in 5 seconds is fast enough for most.

Some idiot also stated brake dust as an issue from the Chrysler... guess what the primary brakes are on the 'Tossla'? You guessed it. The regen in real world use will save very little wear and add back negligible energy.

They still run on tyres made from rubber as well.

And self driving car? Just get a bus, they're 'self driving' too and far better for the environment than cars built for the image conscious such as the Turdla.

I think the best bit about driving the Chrysler would be you're not seen in a Tokla.

He also traded his cell phone in for a rotary land line phone cause it had to many buttons 🤣

I did the same. However I ditched the model S in 6 months. Love my i8 so much more. On paper the i8 is supposed to be slower than my S Performance. But on the dragy on average the i8 is faster by .3sec. Overall i8 is Much better. Better tourer. Better ride and when you do get to hit some fun corners I don't miss the roll and excessive weight that made the S feel unnatural. Never needed the back seats in the S so don't miss it at all. oh I almost forgot the s*** audio in the S. Always annoyed me for the money sounded cheap. My beater x3diesel from 2015 even sounded 100x better. At least you can crank up the volume to max without buzz and the whole interior buzzing shaking and falling off.

How to purchase a Model S. 2018 model 75d. And have the same testimony as many other call owners that I have met. Tesla have the worst customer service call have rattles that they would not fix. I have had to fix back trunk latch replace the screen replace the heater blower replace the cup holder replaced one of the door handles dashboard still rattling they will not fix the door is still rattling they would not fix. And yes the inside trim is the cheapest I have ever seen and the say I paid 80000 Plus for a car of this type give us a joke. I'm waiting on General Motors to make the electric vehicle I will never ever recommend a Tesla
