Same, going on 5 years now, still only had to get my tires replaced. It’s been night and day compared to my last vehicle that always had something breaking for >$1,000 and I definitely don’t miss gas stations


I think we should be pricing in the time wasted on going to mechanics for routine and other maintenance. My last ICE would spend a couple of days a year in the shop (besides routine maintenance, there were some recall events, which then lead to engine malfunction which I learned were a known problem on this model, etc. etc.). And then each time you need a rental to substitute, which is a huge chore, and not to mention taking vacation days to handle it. Just got an EV last month and look forward to none of this.


My EV has literally been more reliable than my cell phone and I drive a lot.
