From th level 7 to level 9 I see many players that have epic bases with many maxed out defences but have level 1 or 2 teslas (me included), are teslas not worth upgrading or am I missing something?

Too costly, take too long. I'm guessing those are the main reasons.
Mine are maxed for TH7 but i have trouble using them effectively.
Expensive and takes long to upgrade. They are
not bad though
i'm at TH9 and my tesla at lv 3, well the upgrade cost is not a problem but it takes too long, 8d for lv 4 tesla is too much
It has to be the time factor, because they aren't relatively expensive. It takes 42 days to take a tesla from nothing to level 6.
I think most people would prefer to upgrade the motars and wizard towers due to their splash damage compared to the single damage of the hidden teslas.
Sure teslas take a while to upgrade and cost a fair amount but they are an extremely valuable defensive structure. If used properly in a good base design they can change the course of the battle. If you have enough 2x2 squares in your base than the attacker will never be sure where the teslas are. This element of surprise can make all the difference. Also a lvl 6 tesla pumps out 75dps and one hits lvl 6 archers every .6 seconds. Also watching WBers drop like flies before getting to my walls is a wonderful sight to see.
Here is tesla's HTK

Tesla's Attack speed is 0.6s
Lv6 Tesla can take down a Lv6 giant in 10.8 seconds
As compared to a level 3 Xbow, whose attack speed is 0.128s
Lv3 Xbow can take down a lv6 giant in 10.24 Seconds, a slight victory of .56 Seconds.
If you ask me, a Lv6 Tesla at TH8 is a killer, not to mention 3 of them :cool:
Short range and long construction time, and they don't even do a good job at scaring opponents away because they're hidden!
My 4 tesla's are a level 2 so they can 2-hit-kill level 5 wallbreakers.
