Tesla has some of the worst costs for repairs and reliability. I am sure all those people making $20 an hour and paying thousands of dollars a month can buy one. Guess what Peter- I used to enjoy you, now you are another green washing green wishing clown

  Peter did not make up those sales figures. They were derived by a sophisticated analysis method called “counting”.
  I don’t know where you’re getting your reliability figures from but since Tesla will be shipping millions of cars in the near future they may very well open regional distribution centres that would be logical places to repair cars as well, possibly reducing repair costs.
  They could certainly fumble the ball allowing a competitor to pick it up but there’s no question that they’re in possession of it right now.

  And, IIRC, Tesla has the highest retention rate of owners in the business:

Top selling EV here in New Zealand too – becoming very common to see.

Tesla Model 3 (from $61,875*)

There’s no denying Tesla-mania is here. It can feel as if every time you’re stuck at a stoplight there’s a Tesla in front or behind you. The Model 3 is in many ways the new Nissan Leaf. Not because of performance, where it far outperforms the old Leaf models, but because they are synonymous with the EV market as a whole.

  While the past few years have been nothing but Model 3, there’s a new Tesla on the block. And it’s wasted no time in usurping the Model 3. After all, it’s a compact SUV, which Kiwis much, much prefer over sedans, and it’s only fractionally more expensive than the Model 3. It also carries about all the same features and levels of performance as the already impressive Model 3.
  
  So it’s no surprise to discover that it has managed to become the number one EV in New Zealand in just three short months.
