We don’t know why people buy teslas yet.

Because Teslas have dogshit reliability and all have OTA updates, whereas other brands don’t suffer from these issues.

Maybe it's not enough for them to buy a new car? I mean it's 6 years old; I'm pretty sure Tesla was the only player in the EV scene back then.

Absolutely not.
I bought a BEV back then. It was a VW Golf. Still driving it. The leaf, eNiro and i3 were contenders for me.

That’s when I bought mine, and it was either get a Model 3 with ~270 miles of range or a Nissan Leaf or a tiny BMW iQ, both with like 80.
For the record, if the software updates stopped where they’re at today, I’d be fine with how the car functions until the end of its life. In fact, I kinda wish they’d just leave things alone at this point because I don’t want any extra features out of the thing.

I have a 2017 Leaf. It absolutely has its drawbacks compared to most modern cars, but it did exist 6 years ago.

6 years is post-cave diver. He bought it after Elon went crazy.
