Yeah. Tesla’s charging network has always been a critical part of their value proposition. No other manufacturer comes close to touching it.

I also had an experience with a dealership trying to weasel their way around a written, itemized offer. I practically held the quote in front of my face with each of the 4 different papers I signed, because the whole process is designed to be confusing.
