Right now probably isn't because the car market is insane with dealers getting away with markups above sticker price because the market is so hot. Otherwise the tech seems to mostly be there the biggest issue is charging networks on longer trips. I've watched a few different videos that highlighted that other companies that rely on charging networks instead of going DIY like Tesla has have some issues with finding chargers in areas. It's a fixable problem but the people would often drive to a charger only to find it's a slow or broken charger and there was no way to know before they got there. (Or at least it wasn't easily visible in the navigation information like you can see with Teslas).

- rtkwe 5y agoWell there's not really a sticker price vs dealer price for Teslas because they're not sold through the traditional dealer system (though they did bump the price up across the board late 2021). Also it's a tiny number of cars Tesla is ~2% of the US new car market despite their insane stock price.
