JonBoy highlights some of the concerns keeping me from pulling the trigger on a new Cervelo. I have needed a new seatpost for my 2016 S3 for a while, Cervelo should have had stock on such a proprietary part. The RD hanger is very delicate. I am now fighting a maddening creaking and do I want to cut my losses or buy a Hambini or Infinity BB? I probably only have 2-3,000 miles on the bike, it was rarely used.
Imagine buying a car and 4 years later, you cannot get a common part for it because it came with proprietary, completely nonstandard dimensions.

Cervelo Paint Quality
My 2022 Caledonia 5 white paint oxidized after only 4 months. It developed light yellow blotches over the entire frame. Cervelo refused to do anything about the problem. My LBS rep was familiar with the problem as he had seen it with other frames. I've owned 3 Cervelos. There will not be a fourth.
