    And I wouldn’t have forgiven those cars either. 60k$ is a lot of money and you need to get a lot of car for it. Just getting a vehicle that’s reliable and will serve you well for years requires no more than 15k$ maybe 20k$. So everything above that is luxury, be it in number of seating or quality or something else.

    For 60k$, you can get:

    • Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024;
    • Jaguar XF 2024;
    • BMW 5 Series 2024;
    • Audi A6 2024.

    You know when I’d go for Tesla over any of these? Never. More to the point you can get EVs from most of these manufacturers at about same price range. And rest assured panels are not misaligned there or car scrapes tires off after 6 months or that steering wheel falls apart after three months of use. But if nothing else matters, distribution network and service centers these manufacturers have is huge so servicing your car and finding parts is easy, or at least significantly easier. With Tesla you can only go to Tesla. There’s no authorized dealers or service centers.
