One buyer, who picked up a 2022 Model 3 with 70,000 miles on it for just $25,000, immediately regretted his decision, with a body shop discovering a sizeable hole in the bottom of the vehicle that was causing damage to the battery — a $13,000 bill that wasn't covered under warranty.
Tesla's even struggling to sell brand-new vehicles. The Elon Musk-led company noted a massive drop in quarter-over-quarter sales earlier this year, likely spurred on by rising competition, slowing overall demand for EVs...
As for Hertz rental company: In the first quarter of this year, the rental company took a massive $195 million hit due to its undesirable Tesla fleet depreciating. In total, the company has lost almost half a billion dollars on its failed bet on EVs.
Love the bit that says 'just $25000' and 'immediately regretted his decision'. For that sum of money (or less) one can buy a very nice ICE vehicle with no battery issues.
So many conflicting reports but personally not a fan of EV's - haven't been for sometime - sentiment has not changed and don't expect it will anytime soon. Car salespeople are in general not the most honest bunch at best of times - buyer beware - lemons are a plenty. Each to their own.
