Outside of musk, I imagine there’s plenty of reason to forgo purchasing a Tesla.
Mostly due to the prejudice most shops have against working on them, to the point they flat out refuse, leaving most to figuring out where to get their car serviced.
Might be different on the coasts, but in the Midwest most chain shops won’t touch them for basic things like tires.
- hotpotamus 3y agoWhy? When you say prejudice, is it a technical thing or a political thing? It's strange trying to parse the issue - I think of electric cars as a left thing (though Musk's biggest innovation was creating them as a status symbol which doesn't really cut along political lines very cleanly), but Musk as a champion of the right wing these days. From what I can tell, the cars themselves are technically pretty good and seem like a good deal with a tax incentive (the Model 3 at least).
