The Model S is much, much, much simpler than a gasoline car.
- No engine.
- No fuel system.
- No alternator, starter, or belts.
- No oil.
- Single speed transmission! No shifting,
no transmission fluid.
- No fuel system.
- Lower brake wear, thanks to regen braking.
The downside is that the battery costs ~$10,000 and has to be replaced every 8 years.
- Jabbles 14y agoI imagine that in 8 years' time an equivalent battery will cost must less.
