To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell


Four months ago I decided to buy a Tesla Model 3. What promised to be an exciting adventure in the world of electric cars, and some of the most advanced technology brought directly from Silicon Valley, ended up becoming a nightmare from which I still have not found my way out.

After reading an article on my friend Alberto Ruibal’s blog in which he argues why the Tesla Model 3 is cheaper than a Dacia Sandero(in Spanish), I ended up being completely convinced. NOTE: In some Internet online boards I read that it is possible to buy the car in any other country in Europe, but normally users who choose this option usually have problems with VAT refunds. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, looked for my destination on Google Maps (a small town in the middle of Slovakia where I would meet my wife), and this time, I hit the road.
