Before he went nazi, Teslas had one of the highest customer sat ratings of the car manufacturers for years. The whole QC thing was part of a campaign against Tesla - if the customers were extremely happy with their cars then skeptical assessments of the accusations are in order. The Model Y didn't outsell the Corolla world wide for no reason. If people were willing to pay it then they can't have been over-priced in the eyes of the buyers, no ?
Nazi man bad, but Tesla made cars that fit the needs of a lot of people for a while. They'll rightly go broke now because Elon has broken US democracy (and is trying to do so in other countries), but the cars were fine, in fact the big problem I have at the moment is finding a better car to recommend when people ask. The range/functionality/performance/fitout combo is really only matched by BYD (not available in the US) although the Koreans are now pretty decent. Depends on a user's needs/parameters.
