Tesla electric cars are criticized by many users for their quality
These people even created groups on social networks to reflect the quality of American car companies.
Norway is a pioneer in promoting electric vehicles. Sales of electric vehicles here account for 80-90% of total monthly sales and are considered a "promised land" for companies developing electric vehicles.
Despite being the most valuable electric car company today, Tesla is facing a wave of strong criticism from users here. Many users say that their Teslas cannot start or open the doors in cold weather, and even if the weather is hot, the car cannot be started.
Other issues include air bubbles in the seats, condensation in the trunk lid, yellow stains around the center display, battery life that is below manufacturer specifications, and new charging stations not being available for older models, despite Tesla promising free charging for life.

Owners also complained about the way the American automaker handled these issues. They said that some customer issues were not thoroughly resolved at Tesla service centers, and even had to wait for a response for a long time.
Not only in Norway, Tesla's car quality has also been complained about in many places around the world, including broken windshields for unknown reasons, cracks on parts that are only covered by paint, and bumpers that can fall off when driving in the rain.
"I hope Tesla listens to these complaints. This will help the American car company stay in its current position, which is perfectly positioned to dominate the electric car market. But if too many people have these problems, other car manufacturers will be ready to take their place," said Erlend Mørch, a user.
