So I’ve been shopping for an EV the past few weeks, and the last 4 dealerships I went to, the dealers all said the exact same thing. Whichever vehicle I went in to look at, the sales person would say “Oh, I own that vehicle as well, and I love it! I’d show it to you, but my wife has it today.”

Is this just a sales tactic, or a legit coincidence? I suppose it’s not strictly an EV thing, but this is the subreddit I’ve been browsing recently.

    Whether it’s true or not isn’t really important. Someone working for a specific brand having access to a vehicle from that brand is common, so it doesn’t really say anything about purchase intention or experience.

    A random person you meet has the vehicle and tells you that it’s great/awful is probably more useful than anything the people trying to sell you a vehicle will tell you.
