EV Channels Review
This video highlights significant challenges for Tesla owners in New Hampshire, primarily concerning vehicle acquisition and servicing. The guest, Jay, explains that due to state laws and Tesla's distribution strategy, purchasing a Tesla in New Hampshire is impossible. Buyers must either pay a substantial delivery fee (around $800) or travel to New Jersey for pickup. Servicing also presents a hurdle, with the closest service center being nearly 70 miles away, necessitating long drives for drop-off and pick-up. Despite these inconveniences, Jay expresses strong satisfaction with his 2023 RWD Model 3, praising its driving dynamics and the Tesla ecosystem. The discussion also touches upon EV charging infrastructure, the debate around plug-in hybrids, and the perceived overblown nature of EV range anxiety in cold weather. The core takeaway is that while Tesla vehicles are highly regarded by owners, the purchase and service experience in states like New Hampshire can be exceptionally difficult.
