Electric vehicles have not yet turned out to be more reliable or cheaper to repair. Tesla vehicles are lower than average on both of those measures.
I used to be very optimistic because of how simple electric cars are in theory, but in practice, a century of refinement of internal combustion engines has not yet been beaten.
- ensignavenger 9y agoThe two Tesla models that are available right now are not 'average' cost vehicles, though. How do the fair against similarly positioned vehicles? I would expect Teslas to be a bit more expensive to maintain at this point, as parts availability and third party after market parts manufacturers are about non-existent for them. As electric vehicles get more popular and mainstream, this problems (as far as EVs in general) will likely be resolved.
