Bad dealership experience? That is funny as Tesla is rated as one of the worst in dealership experience in all the lists I have seen in Scandinavia. In a list of 23 manufacturers Tesla is number 22 and 23 in dealership and repair in Denmark for example right below FIAT.

Apple is working with Hyundai AFAIK.

I think this is true outside the US - Tesla seems way more awesome on all fronts in the US.

I'd wager Tesla dealership experience isn't such a big deal outside of the US. The US car dealership experience is down right hell hole.

Yeah, definitely possible Europeans don’t understand the extent of the dealership problem in the US.

It’d be a longer comment, but there are really bad incentives and the dealership owners have a lot of local political power. There are a lot of bad laws they’ve put in place to help themselves.

In the end they harm legacy car manufacturers by blocking EV adoption and hurting the brand at the customer interaction level.
