> ICE cars are so horribly unreliable and bad, even new ones, there exist special laws just for them: lemon laws. Cars in general are complex and expensive, Tesla EVs run afoul of lemon laws all the time: https://insideevs.com/news/433383/tesla-warranty-repairs-goodwill-lemon-laundering/ https://insideevs.com/news/433383/tesla-warranty-repairs-goo... > 282,637 automotive repair companies are currently in business, with 614,433 employees. How are they surviving is nobody is getting their ICE cars repaired? Collisions. The most expensive repair I've had is bodywork after a small fender bender. Way more expensive than maintenance or even pretty substantial repairs like an alternator replacement. That's not to say that ICE cars don't ever need repairs for mechanical failures, but for such a complex machine they're extremely reliable.
