Don’t Tesla’s need coolant like a regular car? Or break fluid? I don’t know, but if so EVs are a real game changer.

- jamie_ca 4y agoI've got a Kia Soul EV, not a Tesla, but... not really. ICE engine needs coolant for the transmission, which I don't have. Break fluid technically (and keeping up to date on pads & rotors & so) but regenerative braking means the engine recharges a little bit for most braking action, rather than going to the brakes themselves. I think the only time my brakes actually engage are the final bit of coming to (and holding) a stop, and hard emergency braking. I suspect I'll be replacing the tires before the brake pads.
