When I buy something, I expect it to work the way I thought it would work. If it doesn’t, I complain. If it does I say nothing.
I have a Chevy Bolt. I got it new in January of 2017. Even though my 2011 Nissan Leaf still met my needs, I wanted to do what I could to show there was a market for such a car. It had an infant mortality problem with the rear view mirror display. Even though it was a feature I never expected to use, I got it fixed anyway. In the five years four months since, it has been in for service once, for a manufacturer recall. For me this has been the nicest car I have ever owned. The driver’s seat goes back far enough and up high enough that my knees are not higher than my hips. I never knew how comfortable I could be while driving a car. I do wish the roof line was higher so that half my forward vision wasn’t obscured by the tinted band on the windshield. In over 45 years of owning and driving cars I never had a problem with a door handle. Does Tesla really have so many problems with door handles, that they have a specific service option for them? My sister had a Yugo and managed to break the window crank. Ed > On May 30, 2022, at 8:48 AM, paul dove via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > > People are basically negative.
