I was tempted to buy a Model 3 a few months ago when the prices were lower than ever.
I daily a Land Cruiser and I thought picking up a Tesla simply for my work commute would be a wise decision.
However the nearest dealer and service center is 2+ hours away. That combined with all the anecdotes from my friends who had bad experiences with the them have kept me away.
- chris222 3y agoThey have a pretty reliable service that will come to your house for most of the repairs. You should see if thats available in your area. I have a 2018 Model 3 and two friends have 2019s and we have not had these issues. I think they are overblown, there are millions of Teslas out there now.

- hollywood_court 3y agoThe Tesla wouldn't replace the Land Cruiser. I treat vehicles like hammers. You have to have different ones for different purposes. I have the Land Cruiser for recreation and driving my 4 year old son to and from school which happens to be on the way to my office so it is more often than not my daily commuter. My pickup truck only gets used when I need a pickup truck. I believe I've only put ~500 miles on it in the past 3 years. But it is a single cab 2500 so my son cannot ride in it. Maybe when he's older and out of the carseat. The Tesla would simply be to haul my son to school and myself to my office. I'm looking at just getting a Prius or a CRV Hybrid now. The Land Cruiser only gets ~10 MPG so that's a bit of an annoyance for me. Getting a steady daily commuter would mean the Land Cruiser can be simply for recreation and longer road trips where we need the storage space.
