Most people don't buy new cars with 100% cash. Even if you have the cash to drop it's not a great financial decision to get rid of so much liquid assets. Get a low interest loan and invest the cash elsewhere.

I think that's what the OP is implying. Borrowing cash right now is more expensive than if you were to pay with cash. High yield savings % is still less than loan %. If you can finance at 0%, then you have a point.
Latest data available on warranty rates by brand is here (from late 2022)
https://www.warrantyweek.com/arch...21006.html [warrantyweek.com]
The number is claims as a percentage of sales.
Some bad brands (lots of warranty problems) are VW at a horrendous 4.5%, Kia at 3.0% and Ford and GM both at 2.9%..and Hyundai at 2.7%
Better brands include folks like Nissan at 1.2% and Toyota at 1.0%.
Guess what Tesla scored? 1.1%. The second best brand of all brands sold in the US.
Anyways, do you think getting Warranty on a Tesla being a nightmare multi month long wait, and having to drive to ONE location in 30 mile radius at some warehouse, has anything to do with it? compared to a Hyundai deal 10 minutes away on average? Or do you think Tesla having 10x less features and buttons than Hyundai have anything to do with it?
I have many friends with Teslas and they all complain about issues.
And is reporting actual warranty claim rates based on data in each car makers own published financial disclosures.
Which they explain on their home page.
That you couldn't be bothered to check.
So do you have a BETTER source or did you just hate the facts so much you tried throwing shade at this one without knowing anything about it?
Those aren't "ratings"
Those are the actual warranty claim rates of each company as derived from theactual annual reports of each car company
The reason for the low rates of Chinese companies can be understood pretty easily if you bothered to know...well... literally anything...about the topic.
Chinese car warranties tend to be shorter, and cover less, than western warranties do for starters.
For another most of those lowest-claim-rate companies WELL below 1% have only produced any significant number of vehicles very recently- so their claims rates SHOULD be very low unless they're complete garbage- thus their rates are hilariously low between that and the previous fact cited on covering less to begin with. For example the data in this report is from 2021.... Nio the previous year produced less than 50,000 total vehicles. And the year before that only about 20,000. Tesla in contrast has been mass producing EVs for over a decade now, with annual production by 2015 already larger than Nios in 2020 so those rates are already normalized just like the other legacy automakers-- the Chinese ones aren't there yet. And mostly won't be for a few more years.
The couple of longer-established chinese companies on there have rates pretty close to Toyotas.... because they actually make very good stuff. Toyota themselves being shocked how good they were- to the point they actually formed a joint venture with BYD specifically because of how impressed they were by the quality of their vehicles.

Overall very happy owner.
Also the model 3 is going to have a new redesign soon
Do you mean if you leave it parked you find the interior too warm on returning?
First- turn on cabin overheat protection... that'll cap the temp to start with.
Then, a couple minutes before you have to go anywhere, open the app and turn on the AC.
You'll get into a nice cool car every time.

i got my roof tinted and it barely does anything right now in the spring, i'm almost certain i will need one of those detachable shades for the roof come summer when every day is 90f+ and sunny for 3 months straight

Yes I already know to preset the conditions but your head gets hot while driving
