No dealership network and ungodly repair costs are why I steer away from Tesla at the moment. That and the charge time.
Full tank of gas takes me 5 minutes. Full charge can take up to days for some people's situations. Even with the best equipment, it's still like 2 hours.
It's something they need to improve before I even start considering them as a viable option for my next vehicle.
I honestly like what Mazda is doing with their new sedans: Straight inline 6 with rear wheel drive. They know their market hehe.
For some, yes. I would agree. I just can't stand when people act like Tesla's are all that and a bag of chips, because they're not. They're just different.
If you have the cash for full warranties, great. I believe warranties are hidden fee's against the customer in many cases, so I never purchase them.
"I drive it about 1k miles per month. Taken a 3k mile road trip in it - just supercharge when you have lunch it's like 1 hour for a full 'tank'. At home I just plug it in and it's all good."
Not trying to be an asshole, but these sound an awful lot like excuses, which most Tesla owners have to summon at some point to cover the gaps. This is also why they poke fun of people paying so much to fill up: combustion drivers have to trot out excuses hehe.
The charging time is a real issue. It's one of the cars weak points, just as the savings on fuel is one of it's strong points. I'm also interested to see where all these old batteries end up, and how much the modules end up costing owners in the long run.
We agree there. I wouldn't worry about it catching on fire more than any other car.
The fast thing is almost what made me turn my head towards a future purchase, but I'm not a rich guy and will probably just end up getting a solid, practical little truck in place of my sedan when the time comes. Ford Ranger, or possibly the Bronco, depends on what they do with it.
Most expensive repairs ever tested too.

We can both agree cybertruck looks retarded, yes?
