Cautionary tale... (Apologies to those already up-to-speed on the automobile industry news.)
And what about that repair? Thank heavens no replacement parts were needed. It was wire connectors (inside the center console) that had become detached. Relatively easy fix (and I have the ability to record security video again).
- Had to leave my 2021 Model X off at Sacramento Service Center for diagnosis and repair (front USB data ports stopped working).
- Used the day to accompanying friend looking to buy a new (hybrid SUV).
- Visited Honda and Toyota dealerships.
- What I saw shocked me:
- Lots empty of new and used cars.
- Showrooms empty.
- (Tumbleweeds blowing through. Crickets chirping. Coyotes howling.)
- When I asked, they admitted to positioning the few cars (mostly used) they had in the lots to hide as best they could the lack of vehicles for sale.
- While my friend went on test drives I read articles online like this:
Should You Wait to Buy New Car?
