I am the owner of multiple non Tesla EV’s and the others are getting better, but far and beyond my Tesla experience is the best.
100% true
Thanks for providing both sides of the issue.
The other con about dealerships is the mark-up/market pricing above the MSRP when the market is hot. The pro is, as you said, there are more dealerships that can work on your vehicle. The other con is, except for the CyberTruck, Tesla cars do not have V2V, V2L, V2H, V2G.
Battling dealers sux, but not worth $9K + tax to buy direct, I'm the case of Chevy Bolt
Where were you in 2022 when Tesla jacked up prices due to low supply and high demand. You know the classic excuses used for dealer "Market Price Adjustments".
Nissan Ariya is another that does not have vehicle to load.
@@conchobar The difference is, when you ordered the Tesla, you knew the price, when you ordered a car from another dealership, you showed up and they said, ok that'll be $15k more, take it or leave it because we have 60 people that'll gladly pay that
Tesla's direct sales and service has far more cons than pros.
Thanks!
This is for the fair video. Not the irrational comments. Your videos have always been fair.
I've had a Tesla for 7 years and I keep looking at other brands to eventually replace it... but nothing really measures up yet. I thought that with all the EVs on the road now that non-Tesla charging should be getting comparable to Tesla but.. also not really. Recently at a big charging area in Stanford CT and saw tons of non-evs charging on non-Tesla chargers and most of them were having headaches.
There are no pros to legacy dealerships. The salespeople have no knowledge of EVs and do not want to sell them. Many legacy dealerships only have a limited number of EV-certified technicians. Ford and Hyundai / Kia only require that a dealership have a single EV-certified tech.
I literally spelled those out and you still don't get it? Then you're probably not smart enough to watch this channel

@@ericgregoriTHANK YOU!
I dont own an electric car but Charging compatability is a huge plus for TESLA, after road trip with a college in europe Germany, it is nightmare to register and face many errors, not metioning the rest of the world where infrastructure isnt graet like europe and cars have different charging protocols
Not that confusing, CCS or Tesla, about to get more complicated w/ NACS introduction
Over the air software updates. Pro or Con? Please provide your opinion. Thanks for the video Alex.
Updates are only beneficial if they aren't needed. Tesla was pumping out incomplete software and gaslit owners into thinking delayed features is a virtue. It's not.
Other companies are doing over the air updates now. Tesla is no longer alone in that respect.
Had other EV experiences before the Tesla. Service experience was terrible with GM and Nissan EVs - they don't want to be bothered. Not to mention charging speed and availability differences. I still much prefer Tesla in that area and won't be changing my primary EV to another brand anytime soon.
Yes but Tesla's car quality is so bad and overpriced for the bad quality. That's the trade off you get for convenience of super chargers
First time you are fare! Great’ 🎉
I have a Ipace and model Y love both. For me the service of the Tesla for body work is bad around me but the mobile service is good. For me EA and ChargePoint are garbage around me. So I have resulted to mainly using the model Y for any long range trip. I would be happy with either but I would choose the model Y over most other EVs because of the tech. I love the tech behind it and like less button. If you want more buttons or other features buy another car. Why do we hate on other for what car they driver. Like if someone wants a Gas ⛽️ car then there choice.
I switched from Tesla to MB and honestly Tesla service was better and both MB cars have needed more service then my prior 2 Teslas🤷♂️
Seems fair enough. I feel like you have a better chance of convincing people to pick a non-Tesla first EV though than getting current Tesla owners to switch. Once you've owned a Tesla, it's tough to go back to legacy manufacturers.
For me i do wish teslas can improve with their design kinda basic looking also the service and reliability If they improve I would buy one
The Tesla supercharger network is the best and we still dont know if all superchargers will be made available or a few of them. Even i Europe they are not all open. I am still optimistic that other makers will be more viable very quickly.
REALLY good analysis. Thanks.
You're great mate. I really enjoy your videos.
Culty is an understatement. Still love my Tesla Y and Rivian R1t, I’m still getting a Cybertruck. But there are lots of people think Elon can do no wrong and that’s annoying.
We got Tesla cars partly for the charging network. As it turns out we have a 2022 Model 3 and a 2023 Model Y so they both have the same user interface. I can hop in either one, load my profile and go, no adjusting to other controls. However, I do miss the birds eye view from my old 2019 Equinox. Approaching a high curb in the Tesla is not fun, I can't tell how close I am to the curb.
The holiday update is rumor to have a similar birds eye view...
Same visibility prob in Chevy Bolt, surround cam helps but have to reverse or manually turn it on
@@rp9674 In the Equinox I could turn it on at any time with the touchscreen. Very nice when parking, quick and easy. I could see exactly where my bumper was in relation to the curb, other cars, or pole.
@@frankcoffeysame in Bolt 2lt, but to turn on cam pulling in to a parking structure, to stop first is awkward
@@rp9674 That's true but I don't know how it would know to activate to make it automatic.
Fair point of view. All the best.
I really hope that kei cars a.k.a. Japanese ultra mini cars would be available as EV alternative around the globe, particularly the market leader Nissan Sakura - Mitsubishi eK X EV twins
Rivian is my EV preference.
Until other manufacturers have implemented the NACS charging system, the best choice is Tesla.
That’s what he said.
Tesla is not the best EV out there but it is The Best AIO package today and most likely will be for the next decade to come. There are way more Prons as to have a Tesla than any of the other brand today.
I chose Polestar2 as my first EV. No regrets. Is it perfect? No, but nothing is. I really like it and am perfectly happy with it.
The cupholders in that car are a crime against humanity.
Currently own 21 MYP but I hate the way Tesla is heading with removal of parking sensors and stalks. This will probably be my last tesla. Actually it may be my last EV ever. Cost repair and imcost of insurance is also a big factor
Welcome everyone to Pros And Cons Channel!
More choices if you have a lot of $crill to $pend on a decent EV.
100% Bev is the same as fusion... It will never happen 😂
Some may believe all you say....but they haven't done their due homework.... With regards to EVs one can't just scratch the surface, but has to get into more depth....and then things are crystal ...
TESLA DOES HAVE A BLINDSPOT FEATURE RED LIGHTS BLINK IN THR SIDE WINDOW SPEAKERS SIR IN MY MODEL S...AND TRY GETTING SERVICE FOR A NEW EV OTHER THAN TESLA WHOSE SERVICE CENTERS HAVE EV EXPERIENCE NEWER EV CARS GET SERVICE THAT IS HIT OR MISS WITH LOW EXPERIENCE TECHS😢
I must apologize as I stopped watching this to the end. I got to your comments re service. (from my experience it has been superb), but the reason I clicked off, ?? have you forgotten your VERY OWN EXPERIENCE with VW??
Happy Chanukkah!
wait till 2025 to switch by then all brands will be on the supercharger network.
Right, so tough break for Tesla owners
@@EforElectricWill Both Tesla and non Tesla vehicles be charged the same for charging at Tesla superchargers?
I used to watch the crap out of @eforelectric. But man has he let his disdain for Tesla get the better of him. He used to be honest about the EV market. Giving honest feedback about what Tesla is doing right and what they’re doing wrong. It was good info.
Now he really will just compare another EV in similar price point and with a straight face claim it can be better than a Tesla. Which after test driving other EVs, makes his credibility go down the drain. Most EVs are not even close! And the ones that might be compelling are either way higher in price, are experiencing the growing pains Tesla was years ago, or both.
Alex sounds like the guy claiming the blackberry is better than the iPhone when the iPhone first came out.
Say, what ever happened to your ID4??
If you think getting a Tesla serviced is problematic, trying getting another EV serviced. Try selling it. For better or worse, Tesla is the best choice for an EV. Especially for a newbie and the value conscious.
Have YOU tried servicing or selling another EV or did you watch Tesla fanboys on CZcams telling you that? I have tried both ( Tesla and non-Tesla EV ), plus I run several Tesla and non-Tesla EV owner communities online with over 200,000 members. So my knowledge is based on reality and data over your anecdotes.
@@EforElectric hello from Indonesia. Hopefully we will get Nissan Sakura - Mitsubishi eK X EV soon in the South East Asia market because I couldn't think of any better daily driver than those twins
@@EforElectric Come on man 400 Ford dealers dropped out of the EV program. Stop acting like you can just walk in and get service. Personal experience getting the “The EV guy isn’t here right now” come back next Tuesday BS
@@edsta714 If a dealership can’t SERVICE an EV, they’re not allowed to SELL them. So if a person purchases their EV at a particular dealership, that dealership will likely be able to service it. So it depends on where a person lives.
@@EforElectricYou literally listed PROS and CONS. But the Tesla super fans CANNOT accept ANY negatives. It’s almost cult like.
Fan troll trigger alert! Low cost hatchback. I'm not excited about NACS.
For someone who hates Elon and Tesla, you sure do make a lot of videos about them. Weird.
That's because I'm hoping that some of them will reach people like you located deep up his colon. And it seems like it's working.
@@EforElectric Does someone need a hug?
@@chyldstudios It is weird. The video is fair, but the comment replies are irrational. Maybe he is just having a bad day.
@@ericgregori Yeah his comment replies are so rude like wtf
As an experienced EV driver, I sold my 2018 Tesla model 3 that I've owned for 5 years and got a ..... 2015 Nissan Leaf SL. I'm loving my Leaf!
Tesla’s do have blind spot monitoring now.
Tesla bargains are on the inventory. Some are marked down several grand.
Tesla prices it cars based on the market. Car dropped from
Their 2022 highs. Accordingly, Tesla is still selling well. Also, their costs are coming down due to market forces, scale, and the nature of new tech decreasing in cost with time. Lastly, competition is increasing there’s a new EV model announced almost every month it seems like. An automaker that goes out of business hurts resale worse than the automaker dropping prices.
as son as other brands adopt the NACS, we are dropping Tesla like a hot potato.
Compare Tesla service to VW 😂
Bargain on an over priced vehicle yeah!! 😂
Switched from a Model Y to an E-Tron. Every morning I have dew on the rear window. Tesla does not have a rear wiper. Window defroster doesn't fix the issue. It needed a rear wiper. I had to get out an squeegee the rear window every morning. Also I cannot believe you think Auto Pilot is the best. It was the worse in my car. I set any speed, it changed two seconds later to 85MPH every time. Steering had little to no confidence and Auto Pilot would turn off. Crest any hill and it phantom braked without fail. It was so unusable I chose not to babysit it, just drove the car. Took it to the service center 3 times to address the issues and they said they fixed it, but nothing changed. So many other problems such as failed wheel sensor, failed TPMS sensors, failed heat pump, 3 failed cameras, a blown shock, rear hatch closure failed, and a front wheel bearing. The only saving grace was I bought the car for $63,999 and traded it in for $70,500 plus $7250 in tax credit towards the E-Tron. My Audi has had zero problems in the past 14 months and has road traveled quite well.
There's no cons to get rid of your Tesla.
Who hurt you?
Good one. And you almost made no grammar errors in this one tiny comment. Now can we call your mom so she can pick you up and take you home? You probably want to do your English class homework.
The biggest con would be that you are leaving the safest car and getting a car whose safety you know nothing about.
This comment makes absolute no sense . All safety scores are readily available at the IIHS website and almost always on the sticker, which cannot be falsified
This could be the dumbest comment so far for this video
@@EforElectric Well, that's an unpleasant reply. The issue at the core of the question is that Tesla is the safest car out there, and the other 20 manufacturers all rank lower in safety than Tesla. So if you switch, you're sat with a basket of less safe cars that you need to individually consider.
"The Cybertruck that will become the majority of Tesla sales"
You clearly hava no idea what you are talking about...
Nope. That's not the whole sentence. Be a big boy and listen to the whole sentence.
Cult 😂 just a product they love like Apple products.. when they have the best technology that what you go with period. You silly boy!! 😂
Pro for Tesla. They are building all their vehicles to scale except CT. and have little to no debt while making billions per year. Con is all other brands except BYD are losing billions and are deeply in debt. Unless they can get to scale they are doomed and your new ride may become obsolete.
Don't care about their stock, I care about price & prefer to support less evil when I can
We switched from Tesla to a reliable gas car . No more hassle
Safe the planet and keep driving your non electric car
Tesla cars have terrible quality and uncomfortable ride for it's high price. Not to mention all the cost cutting measures that's ridiculous to live with. It's a trade off i guess if you value supercharging network if you travel often long distance. If you mostly drive short distance and charge at home there is no reason to overpay for Tesla
The fact so many in a community where most think they are progressive choose to support someone like Elon is laughable to me...
Would you buy the Cyber Truck?
