Does anyone here own an electric car?

Does anyone here own an electric car?

I'm thinking of getting one but I'm worried about the maintenance and servicing.

I'm guessing that they're pretty much impossible to fix or service by yourself as they're so complicated.

And I'm worried they will break a lot.

They are a lot like owning a big German luxury car, more reliable than anything from Ford or GM and fine until something goes wrong then it's sell a kidney to fix. Buy new get shot of it in 3 years before the battery is totally fucked and everything will be fine.

Aren't Tesla batteries warrantied for 8 years?

Wrong board you want

Yes, but not against "normal reduction in capacity" after three years the battery capacity will have dropped dramatically, just look at how long your phone lasts on a charge when new and after 2 years.

Apparently it's a 5% reduction over 3 years and 30% over 8 years

Yes, all current production electric vehicles are proprietary locked down pieces of shit.

I plan to change that, pic related cost me $3k.

And that's just what they'll admit.

Except people who have them are reporting more than 30% after 3 years and Tesla are not replacing the packs.

Is the Miata electric now?

Is Musk able to make a profit without big brother government footing the bill? I doubt it.
