The only major repair cost more than many cars but sure, tell us that’s a great deal.

How stupid these electric people are.

Article says the battery was covered under warranty.

Anyway, I think this Tesla is well on its way to a billion miles. Just keep driving on...

I drove EV’s for over 6 years. Sure, there’s some kinks that need to be worked out and they are not for everybody - especially those with anxiety issues.

That said, if they can come up with one that gets over 500 miles per full charge (give it 2 or 3 years) it’ll be worth it.

Getting infrastructure installed around the world will take time too.

The electric grid went through the same hiccups early last century.

This particular Tesla had the battery pack replaced under warranty. Not sure if very many would ever qualify, but driving 70,000 miles a year helps.

My gas powered minivan was going about 45,000 miles a year before covid shut us down. I purchased a manufacturers warranty with 5 years and unlimited mileage just for this purpose.
