"Car dealers are in a class by themselves when it comes to bad customer
service. ...But Toyota has stood behind their product."

Tesla also stands out when it comes to customer service.  From essentially
warranting the traction battery pack against any failure, picking up towing
costs if the car breaks down, offering free loaners and ranger service at
home, and diagnosing problems proactively and updating software remotely.
They get that it not only takes a great vechicle to make a great EV.  It
takes a manufacturer with a culture of backing up their product.  

One of the reasons they can do this is because they are not beholden to a
network of middlemen.  Also, the fact that they have a very reliable EV
helps big time!  And when issues have come up (12 volt battery failures,
retrofitting battery pack protection, upgrading and replacing charging
adapters) they have been quick to find and implement solutions at no costs.
