It’s not just an oil change with ICE cars either - they run the diagnostics, fix the various recalls, and maintain your service record. Cars are very complicated nowadays, especially hybrid ones, it’s cheaper to catch problems early. Plus it’s free for the first 3 years if one values their time at $0/hr.
Only on HN will people argue that spending a day or two a year on something as stupid and unnecessary as refueling and car maintenance is worthwhile.
- nytesky 3y agoThe car spends the day doing maintenance, I drop it off and they drop me off at home. I telework, then they pick me up and I get my car. I imagine the aggregate time spent on engine maintenance is no more than the aggregate extra charging time you have to attend to when not at home?
- lotsofpulp 3y ago> Only on HN will people argue that spending a day or two a year on something as stupid and unnecessary as refueling and car maintenance is worthwhile You are arguing that, even after being told it is not true. And then you select a known high maintenance brand to keep arguing it, which makes your motive sound disingenuous.
