While the sleek design and unique features are enticing, here are some reasons why you should opt not to buy a Tesla.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Not eco-friendly<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, Tesla models aren\u2019t environmentally conscious. Producing the batteries for one Tesla vehicle is equivalent to driving a conventional car for eight years. In other words, the production of these batteries wreaks serious havoc on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Recharging is a drag<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike standard cars, you can\u2019t take your Tesla to a gas station to refuel it. Instead, you have to drive to a Tesla charging station, which ends up being over an hour-long ordeal. Not only is this time-consuming, but it can also be a hassle if you have a difficult time locating a charging network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Inconvenient roadside service<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Tesla models are highly advanced, accidents still happen. If you\u2019re in a fender bender or something breaks down, getting the necessary help can prove a challenge. In addition to being limited, roadside services are also expensive. One of the most common issues that Tesla owners run into is a shortage of electricity. Unfortunately, roadside assistance isn\u2019t equipped to remedy this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>No spare tire<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens when you\u2019re driving down the highway and run over a nail? If you drive a Tesla, this will land you in a world of hurt. Tesla vehicles don\u2019t come with spare tires, so if you get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, you\u2019ll end up a sitting duck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Limited cup holders<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tesla may come with streaming services, advanced parking sensors, and self-driving capabilities, but it\u2019s lacking in the cup holder department. With that said, Musk may have forgotten to account for basic features. If you\u2019re riding with several passengers, tell them to leave all beverages at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Costly<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that buying a Tesla will cost you an arm and a leg. The Model X will set you back $100,000. Unless you\u2019re rolling in dough, this likely isn\u2019t a viable option. What\u2019s more, the insurance can also be pretty steep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though Elon Musk is a celebrated name in the auto realm, not all car enthusiasts are fond of his innovative Tesla creation.
