Hm. Well, anecdotally, I shared the cab with a guy towing my ice, and he mentioned he alone has towed no less than 40 teslas since the beginning of the year. I'm in the tropics, and they have dealerships here, so these aren't necessarily refurbs. There aren't a whole lot of them here, most EVs on the road are usually byds or another chinese brand. Make of that what you may.
Any particular reason they're getting towed for? I mean if they're involved in accidents that's not much reason but if they're breaking down that'd be news
Breakdown. No specifics, but I learned electric cars can't be put into 'neutral', since the motors are linked directly to the wheels. They have to be hoisted onto dollies.
It wouldn't be news at all. Tesla is the least reliable car brand in history.
