Except success I suppose. "But what does HN think?" said no one ever.

You can't simply say "but look at how much it sells" as an argument to Teslas being decent cars or not.
The argument here is that they are not strictly related to quality.
Are you gonna tell me the PT Cruiser, random example, was a quality vehicle because of its astronomical sales for years?
Not understanding why is popularity used as an argument for good sales. It's not. Tesla cars being well made (or not) is not a reason why they sell.
