Using a car salesman as your source of info is honestly pretty dubious for any car, especially one that the dealership isn't even going to see in person for at least a year. Ford does require dealerships to have a designated EV lead who takes some relevant training if the dealership wants to be "EV certified" by Ford. I wonder how many of these dealerships had that certification?
- kjksf 7y agoTheir job is still to sell cars. You can fool some people some of the time but not all people all the time. If people don't buy EV cars because dealerships anti-sell them, that's bad for car makers. Especially in Europe in China, where they have to sell a lot of EV cars or face gigantic fines. If dealership continue straight up lying about EVs and people will indeed do an independent research, then they'll inevitable reach a conclusion that Tesla is a much better deal and will be amazed by Tesla's buying experience. Ramping up EV sales to millions of units per year is a life-or-death situation for car makers in the next 10 years. Dealerships sabotaging this effort will be a very significant problem.

Conversation I had years ago: $boss: Please do $job using the new $overpricedpieceofcrap. me: Sorry, $overpricedpieceofcrap can't do $job. $boss: But $guy1 and $guy2 said it would do $job. me: $boss, those guys are salesmen. And suddenly $boss was enlightened.
