I'm actually really considering a Model S for my next lease - my problem is the closest service center is 3 hours away. Getting tires put on, getting breaks changed; no big deal. Battery failure or something worse and that'll be a really expensive tow ride. (I'm in Western NY).
Unfortunately, the model 3 isn't scheduled to come out until end of 2017 (if that holds true) and my lease runs out in March of 2017 so... gonna have to wait until the round after this coming one (generally lease for 3 years at a time).
But if it was coming out sooner and it's visually appealing - yes, I'd have probably put down a deposit tonight. Assuming it's not god awful ugly; which I can't imagine it will be.
- threesixandnine 11y agoI just wonder. I have insurance that covers tow rides for a car that is 5x cheaper than any Tesla. Insurance even covers stay in a hotel and expenses if you are away from home. And as far as I can see some brands even offer 5-7 years of warranty with tow included if anything goes wrong. Mind you that this is Europe(EU). I would expect the same arrangement for a car as expensive as Tesla.
- lsiunsuex 11y agoThat's a good point that I didn't consider. If I actually go with a Tesla and not the Porsche Macan, I'll have to contact my insurance rep and see what the distance is for tow rides.
