But you'll want a Tesla for those longer distance drives...

I had great service from General Motors! On my GMC2500, they replaced my entire diesel fuel system 3 times within the first year of ownership due to a leak - no questions asked!
Oh, wait...
This is going to kill the company. Not now, but as soon as there are other decent electric cars on the market -- ones where you can go to *independent service shops*.
They've had five years to fix this sort of crap and they've only made it worse. My advice to investors at this point is to hold on now, but dump the stock before 2020 if they don't fix the chronic and ever-worsening service problems.
FWIW, we used to buy GM. We had 3 of them. We don't buy GM anymore nor do we buy American brands anymore. We didn't really have issues w/the dealers or service depts, it was just their lack of reliability and how quickly some wear items would wear out (e.g. rear shocks) vs. the Japanese cars we experienced later.Well, I don't know much about Tesla as we don't own one, BUT, my advice would be to NEVER, NOT EVER, buy a General Motors product. Don't even get me started.
Good luck with that one. Porsche has substantial problems with new technology also. All manufacturers do.This is why I put my name on the list for a Mission E at my local dealer
Yep.
I was tolerant of this sort of stuff when Tesla was a new company. Five years later, it's gotten *worse*. The problem is 100% management (the bottom-end techs are all good). Elon undervalues middle management skills at his peril. If they can't fix their endemic communications problems in the service departments -- and it's gotten continuously worse over five years -- then opening up the service manuals to independent shops would ease the burden. But apparently they're also unwilling to do that for no-good-reason.
I'd buy an inferior electric car (with the minimum required range specs and thermal battery control, of course) just to avoid dealing with this *bullcrap*. Others will make that choice too.
For sure, but they don't have problems with customer service, which is what the OP is about.Good luck with that one. Porsche has substantial problems with new technology also. All manufacturers do.
You’re sure you’re referring to Porsche the carmaker, part of VAG? I have owned multiple Porsche. My last two had major problems that Porsche denied on warranty. One front suspension and one 4-wd gearbox problem. The first never was covered. The second only after legal action. I quit buying Porsche after those two.For sure, but they don't have problems with customer service, which is what the OP is about.
Not sure of your story but I have a Volt and had an Avalanche for 12 years (and my son for 2 more) and both were better on quality and speed of service than my Tesla.Well, I don't know much about Tesla as we don't own one, BUT, my advice would be to NEVER, NOT EVER, buy a General Motors product.

My daughter has volt and I was impressed by service. They did 8 safety recalls (1year old car) that they never notified us of despite sending marketing materials so we knew they had contact info. They also fixed an oil leak in the one year old car. Impressed....NOTNot sure of your story but I have a Volt and had an Avalanche for 12 years (and my son for 2 more) and both were better on quality and speed of service than my Tesla.
