Comment on 'They Want To Be The Gatekeepers': Car Dealers Are Stopping Customers From Buying EVs

  0$ on my Tesla in 5 years. Literally. No brake change, no transmission, no out of pocket maintenance, not even a windshield fix (though that’s more luck). Changed the tires once.

  The battery is still above 90%. We don’t know how long that’s gonna last but we’ll probably just change the battery and not even the brakes.

    Yeah the reason I asked them is because on my VW Id.4, in 3 years I’ve had none either.

  At least from what I remember off the top of my head Rivians are extraordinarily expensive to repair

    Repairs are not the same as maintenance though, and Rivians are extraordinarily expensive just in general.

      Are you telling me a model that has like 10,000 cars on the road in the entire USA isn’t easy to fix??

    You can’t compare an expensive luxury model to a compact car regardless of it being electric or gasoline.

    Is it more expensive compared to the Audi Q7, a Range Rover or a Lamborghini Urus?
