When EMV starts delivering the first 5k units this year (mine included) I'll make sure to inform everybody how GOOD....or BAD service is under or after warranty!I have contacted both and it's very murky. I just worry that having such a great product can be ruined if the customers have a problem after the sale. Assuming that all owners will wrench on their own car is not the way to go. Many do not have the ability, space or desire to do so. Why would I wrench on my brand new FUV when I wouldn't if I bought a brand new Versa. I can buy a new Versa for $12K right now but a FUV is $20K. Pay more to work on it myself?
Only reason I got an I3 is because I bought it at salvage and got it dirt cheap. I know what i was getting into. If I would have bought it new and it broke, I would not be fixing it myself if it was under warranty. This is an issue that these new companies need to address. Elio already has and they are 100% covered with service, warranty and factory trained technicians. As for these others, It's a mystery and that tells me they are hoping everything will work out for a future program rollout.
