They’re just not great cars, or are very climate sensitive. I’m in Malaysia, and I heard from a tow truck operator that he towed 40 teslas himself, last year alone. Mind you it’s a premium product compared to the Chinese alternatives, and have local dealers, so these are not refurb/ recon jobs.
Anyone got anecdotes from more temperate/ arctic regions? I hear batteries don’t do well in the cold, so my note is really weird for a tropical climate.
Teslas are very popular in Norway and I’ve seen plenty of YouTube channels of Norwegians that praise the Tesla for their cold weather performance. Maybe it’s the humid tropical climate where they fail. The batteries also don’t do well when they are too warm. Maybe the Tesla can’t properly cool the batteries down in warm humid weather.
