Tesla buyers beware

Good points. I would just always worry it was going to catch fire. Not that I can afford one anyway. But wouldn't even keep one if given to me. Also I leave my dog in the car when going into stores.

No worries, used EVs are rapidly becoming far more affordable since no one wants them. Hertz has Chevy EV Blazers (pun intended on Chevy's part?) for $16K. Like Tesla? Around $20K.

most manufactures have a disconnect near the battery, or under the hood. Some even have a first responders plug/ loop to pull.

Yes. I wasn’t clear.

Not a problem, just wanted to emphasize the issue.
