- Cookingboy 9y agoEVs are only simpler when it comes to drive train. When it comes to body fit/finish this is the reason early Tesla Model S had issues with door handles being stuck and leaky moon roofs. I don't know about you, but if my $100k car is literally leaking water during a rainstorm, I'd call it a reliability issue.
- nradov 9y agoIf electric vehicles are so much simpler then why does Tesla have relatively poor drivetrain reliability ratings compared to gasoline vehicles? By contrast the Toyota Prius is mechanically extremely complex, yet it's one of the most reliable and durable vehicles on the road.
