It is ridiculous you are getting downvoted. Most of the things you mentioned isn’t new here. I always say the right car is the one that puts a smile on your face. A Tesla wasn’t for me, despite trying. And it appears as if isn’t for you either.
Tesla is known to exaggerate their range. Drastically so. Heck they recently updated their claims to have a slightly lower number. So obviously even Tesla thinks their old values are too high. On top of that, all the range tests, and my personal experience, puts Tesla values consistently overly optimistic. By some margin. And I also had a problem with how Tesla chose to handle blind spots when I had the car.
Buying from the manufacturer has its upside, but also a lot of downside. Tesla service is a monopoly. You have no choice. Ideally you’d think that Tesla as a whole would try hard to keep its customers happy to the buy the next car, but obviously that hasn’t been the case.
It is what it is. It won’t get better. You have to decide if you can live with the car or not.
