This is a Tesla Model Y. It has lower maintenance costs than any other car. Being an electric car, it's very reliable. Energy is cheap. It's what humany will drive on Mars.
I've spent less than a grand on oil and oil filters in the last decade. how is your bill for DC fast charging and battery replacement looking?
>>28929814it also looks butt fucking-ugly. Could've had a renaissance of 60s-70s designs but noooo.
>>28929814In Europe about a third of teslas fail their first 3 year inspection because of suspension and driveshaft failure and they generally have lots of small issues. They also destroy tires like all heavy EVs. They may have lower maintenance cost if you treat them like disposable shitboxes.
>>28929814Actually they're the most expensive to maintain because every 7500 miles you have to spend 50k to replace the battery and the tires only last 13 miles and no I'm not just making things up to make them sound bad because I'm secretly jealous
>>28929872Keep driving your Honda Fit, boy.
>>28929816How gummed up are your valves and how scored are your bores? To speak nothing of the transmission and driveshaft that straight don't exist in EVs, enjoy cost equivalent engine replacement>>28929837Source? Also enjoy being eurocucked
>>28929814Begone shill

>>28929814> It has lower maintenance costs than any other car. lmao talk to an insurance adjuster
>>28929904>Transmission and driveshaft don't existIts amazing how ignorant the average Tesla owner is.Don't neglect your transmission and driveshaft maintenance btw.
>>28929944>Don't neglect your transmission and driveshaft maintenance btw.Can you tell us what is necessary to maintain these items and the schedule in which you need to do it? You seem very knowledgeable about EV maintenance and repairs so I have to assume you know the answer to this question
>>28929944> snaps a picture of a Model S LDU> that'll get em!That is not a Model Y drive unit. It's likely that subframe is down for a Coolant Pipe Bypass job.Additionally, you'll note I didn't say no differential. The circled area is the gearbox for stepping down the electric rotation to the drive axles. Transmissions are adjustable for desired output, but these are fixed gear, hence they are a differential. Because they don't have to adjust gearing, they are far simpler and significantly more reliable. The shafts driving the wheels are CV Axles, not a driveshaft.I have to spell this out because you're a retarded wrenchlet.
>>28929814>Limited recharge cycles intensify
>>28929814>4k+ lb curb weight>Tire and brake dust particulates intensify
>>28929814>Home electricity price intensifies
>>28929814Tires on these things are like $2k and the torque chews them up fast, they are not cheap to own
Should've gotten a Polestar 2 instead. Highest reliability of any EV out there. Volvo knows its shit.It's also pure sex.
>>28930192And my favorite part>actual door handles and gear shifter
>>28930175>SemanticsMy point stands that no Tesla uses direct drive hub motors. There are components that need maintained and CV axles are even more fragile than a driveshaft u joint.
>>28930185Just bought a premium Korean set for 1k after 40,000 miles on the manufacturer's tires.
>>28930233But which components specifically need to be maintained and in what way and how often?
>>28929814lol@mars
>>28930192Based Molestar
>>28930281well damn thats not bad
>>28929814How but hurt will Elon be when Slate comes
>>28930616None because no one will buy it. At least the American market has proven time and time again that they won't buy cheap cars. They complain on social media about how expensive everything is but when they go to buy a car, they're still not buying a Mirage. They're not buying a Versa. If they do buy a cheap car like a K4 they're getting a higher trim. You tell them they have to crank their own windows and they're walking away.
Terribly inconvenient for apartment life, especially in cold climates.
>>28929814Too bad it's absolutely dreadful in looks, build quality, dashboard and controls layout, and driver engagement.
