"you have to go there, wait to drop off car, listen to dealership clerk going on and on about expensive 'preventive' repair I should get (any my family friend mechanic tells me none needed), wait a few hours (because of other customers at same dealership), and get a ride back dealership to pick up the car. That's like 2-5hrs."

What kind of car do you drive now?

At the cost of a Tesla you can buy a BMW (for less actually) and get a loaner and none of the up sell.

Because there isn't any up sell when they are covering all the maintenance including even windshield wipers. And definitely oil changes. And brakes.

So don't compare the experience of buying a luxury car to one where you have to sit and wait and deal with what you are referring to. And get shuttled back and forth.

Afaik last I checked mini dealers (owned by BMW) also offer loaners and cover all service programs.
