I really would like to go electric for my wife’s next car and the Model 3 seems perfect. Great lease deals, awesome charging network, decent service location…
However, I really don’t like Musk. I’m sure the other auto maker owners/ heads are deuche bags as well but at least they aren’t vocal about it.
I’ll give my opinion on the matter. All car companies suck. I’ve worked with Hyundai, Kia, Honda, Chevy, and now Tesla. All of them suck.
I am/was trying to pull off a last minute purchase of a Tesla last night and while it wasn’t completely their fault, their statements are baffling. They basically told me they don’t have to follow the states rules because they’re Tesla. Today, they’re kind of walking back on that statement.
I spent 2 hours on the phone with GM financial trying to buy out my lease. They add tax on. There’s no tax on EVs in my state. They couldn’t figure that out. I said “Well, reach out to someone to fix it.” They can’t. They claim to be an insulated department and I have to deal with a dealer (who wants to charge $500 fee to do the buyout) or call corporate who will maybe do something.
They all suck. They all just change the rules and do whatever and offer awful service at some point.
I should probably add, I’m too poor to deal with premium brands so maybe they’re a bit better, but I doubt it.
