Agree Rayvan , I put up a link earlier where the Wall St Journal had 8 drivers around the world spend a week with an EV. One of them said he would like to keep it, mostly because he was in China and had a charger at his residence, got preferred parking and licensing with it. One lady did a 10 hour drive thru Michigan and back to her home, with charging it took 30 hours, a lot of that time searching for chargers then strumming her fingers while the slow chargers did their job.

Tesla is bad for service, here a story from Jan 30th, Tesla charging $4,000 for a new headlight.... worth a read : https://www.solarquotes.com.au/blog/...-consumer-law/

EV, especially Tesla owners don't like to publicly complain but go on their BB's and find out the big issues they have with service and getting simple things fixed. One guy had a fender bender, took 3 months to get replacement parts to the body shop. Some body shops refuse to work on them. Drive trains have been a huge issue for Tesla,
a very large percentage of the Model S and X's have had to have new drive systems put in, so much for simplicity. Wonder where the Model 3's will be when they get enough miles on them.

Nobody in their right mind wants to pay a premium price for a product that has less functionality. Virtuous signalling has saved the day for Tesla.

Cellsafemode I feel for you living in California , what a looney tune state that has become. Most of us don't have to deal with that crap.

If you want a education on how many problems Tesla has with their drive train units/motors click on this link and peruse thru a few of these sub topics:
