Is Tesla roadside assistance better than AAA?

I have Tesla's roadside assistance because I just bought the vehicle. However, I'm not sure if it's any good. Should I just keep the Tesla roadside assistance or should I get AAA?

Both AAA and
Tesla’s
roadside assistance offer comparable services. The main difference here is price and response time.
According to some
Tesla
owners, the response time isn’t great; it’s often a few hours or even next-day service.
AAA
, on the other hand, provides an average response time of 21 minutes, although you’re paying for a membership each year.
For peace of mind, getting both might be the best option and it won’t cost you much more than about $75 a year.
Or you can compare with other roadside assistance programs. The
Jerry
app offers a roadside membership for as low as $4.16 a month. This car super app doesn’t just help you save on your
car insurance
! Along with traditional benefits, you get Uber-like tracking for the status of your service and the ability to contact your service provider directly.
