Biggest issue is social. Buying a Tesla associates you positively with musk (by design), and from my experience most Tesla owners are incredibly annoying about it. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to avoid the stigma. Same reason people buy Harleys - the brand name and cultural associations on a vehicle matter a lot, sometimes even more than the car itself.
Interesting in some respects and a laughable failure in others - the body is made of a proprietary blend of steel that they've somehow managed to make extremely corrodible, even by stuff like rain, as one example. Certainly not holistically well engineered, at least not in all aspects.
