I've had my share of issues on my Lexus is250 (radio knobs breaking, new valves because they stuck, rough idle when braking hard) - all were covered under warranty though which is the main point.
Issues like this usually pop up early in a car's life, I think the more interesting what happens to the Model S at 100k, 200k, 300k etc.. long term is still a huge unknown.
- virtue3 12y agoLuckily the mechanics of electric cars are _much_ simpler than internal composition engines. The idea of "drive it till the trans falls out" shouldn't exist here. It is mildly annoying that the entire thing is basically driven by a computer. Because we all know around here that code is 100% reliable and never goes wrong :/... (and by code I mean software switches for everything and no manual mechanisms... like a latch for the charge port, etc etc).
- alistairSH 12y agoOh, I've had issues with my cars. The Lexus required a new radio at 40k miles (warrantied). The GTI a new throttle sensor at 40k (warrantied) and SRS sensor at 50k (warrantied). But none of them caused the car to be undriveable. And all happened after several years of driving, not several months. Anyway, as I hinted at above, I'm hopeful Tesla is successful. I wanted a Roadster back in '08. I want an S now. And I'm sure when they release their 3-series competitor, it'll be on the short list to replace the Lexus.
