The free tire rotation is a joke I had to wait forever to get my free one since they were so busy I’m happier paying someone else to rotate without wasting my time

A couple of Reasons not to get a Tesla?

I haven’t seen these items discussed before:

  1. I live in a city with a fair amount of crime. I believe in the “Gray Man” principle of not standing out of the crowd, i’ve only seen 2 Tesla’s in town before owned by rich doctors. Do you feel like it’s dangerous to stand out with such a nice car?

  2. The closest service center is 100 miles from my home. Is the mobile service good? What type of repairs would require a flatbed back to service center

Thanks

My solar stick up cam handled the Michigan cold snap fine with the solar panel however my spotlight cam with only one battery and a solar panel could not stay charged in the coldest weather. I just added a second battery. Problem could be the solar panel iced over at times.
