When it comes to the EV buying process, legacy automakers have a huge disadvantage compared to upstarts like Tesla and Rivian. If you want an EV from General Motors, Ford, Hyundai, Kia or pretty much any other traditional automaker, you have to buy it at a dealer. Words cannot capture how much that process can suck. Especially in the post-pandemic world, dealers are constantly slapping absurdly marked-up accessory packages and squeezing customers for every dime. GM can't really fix that, but maybe Costco can.
