For a long time I thought that Tesla's headstart would diminish, that eventually legacy automakers would catch up and overtake with their greater economics.
This misconception was dispelled when I then bought a car new from the world's largest car manufacturer. It's difficult to overestimate how much they can screw it up.
- bhauer 4y agoPrecisely. Because it's about Tesla, this gets reported and generates clicks. But anyone who pays attention to cars knows horror stories about service, from any manufacturer you name. Dealerships aren't just awful for the buying experience. They're also awful for the service experience. If anything, Tesla's model of providing at-home service for small or routine work is an exception from the norm that, in my experience, raises it above other premium brands.

- makeitdouble 4y agoTo try to decrypt that, you bought a Volkswagen ID.4 and it was so screwed up you didn't like it ? Could you expand ?
