I have a Tesla (just a Model 3, and not the super fast one), and I think Elon is a fraud. I've concluded the following after 2.5 years:
* It is still a blast to drive. All the torque at once is still exhilarating;
* The claimed range is absolute BS. It's not even close;
* Obviously it's great right now given gas prices;
* The supercharging network is what, at least right now, distinguishes it from other electric cars;
* Because the software is constantly upgraded, it is a better car now than when I bought it;
* I hate touch screens in cars - give me knobs and dials. They are safer;
* It was a pretty good deal (under $40k);
* Having the ability to make your turn signal noise a fart sound still makes all of the kids laugh.

FWIW, the network effects of the supercharging network are the only thing here that sounds like a moat that would make Tesla more valuable in the long run than other car companies.
