10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
hilarious you're so heavily downvoted for this. there are some rabid people on here who can only see negatives. I agree Tesla's are great to drive and I know plenty of peple who own them and love them and have had zero issues, and also saved a tonne on fuel, and maintance. trying to dismiss all Teslas as garbage is just utter stupidity and honestly sounds like sour grapes to me.
Elon is a awful human and I wish with all my heart he'd have a sudden TIA. but tesla cars are not Elon musk.
ps your downvotes just serve to make my point 💪 stronger.
Maybe they're being downvoted for the ludicrous claim that a car, even an electric car, has zero maintenance issues other than tires and wiper fluid. It's not like it has zero moving parts.
No, it has about 20.
All of which will likely need maintenance at some point.
How often do you replace the steering column, wheel bearings and electric motor bearings? Basically never.
How about the transaxle assembly? That's rated for 1 million miles.
These cars need very little maintenance compared to an ICE car that needs bi-annual oil changes.
all these butt hurt people who clearly can't afford an EV or invested all their money in stupid ice cars is honestly so funny.
'all we have left is the downvote and darn it we'll use it'
