Sure, but ongoing maintenance is a shitload less than taking a hit on an expensive car, selling it at a fat loss, and having to spend time and effort to buy another one.
I bet a lot of people were buying these cars for the right reasons.
I know I wanted one when the Model S first came out - it was the first decent looking EV (can't afford one though).
All the others looked shit and for 1.5 people max.
Why blame the people that probably spent their hard-earned cash on what could have been a sensible purchase?
What should they do instead exactly?
