Tesla seems to do alright without them?

Aren't the repair cost snd repair times significantly higher with Teslas?

We have an outback and a model y. The experience in purchasing both was pretty similar. Every other dealership I went to would aggressively upset crap and grossly inflate the sticker price. I don't foresee buying anything other than a Tesla simply for the great charging network and purchase experience. Plus, I personally hate buttons everywhere.

My Model X was in the shop for ELEVEN MONTHS because Tesla decided it's more important to sell new cars than to use those parts for repairs. And it wasn't anything weird like parts for the gull wing doors, it was suspension parts.

You should REALLY look into that shit before buying another Tesla. I love that car, but no way am I buying another Tesla until they get their supply chain shit together.

Also, don't forget that starting next year pretty much every EV will be using Tesla's NACS connector and charging network going forward. That's no longer a reason to buy Tesla.
