Knock yourself out.

Maintenance costs for a Tesla Model S over five years were at most $2,800 (if drivers don’t use the pre-paid maintenance package) as of 2017 while a Mercedes-Benz S-Class racks up $18,000 in maintenance bills and the BMW 7 Series costs about $17,000 over the same period, according to an analysis by a self-described Tesla enthusiast and “data geek.”

He's as full of shit as you are.

You think $11,074.71 CAD for brakes is cheap and at 5 years it's new battery time.

What a rube

no gasser will do that

Actually they can. For diesels it is even easier.Boomer has a couple of trucks that are getting close.

Does he have that nifty VW tailpipe app for them?

No. He actually does not.

$11,000 brake job and yes like all vehicles Tesla brakes should be rebuilt at 200K but they cost 10X more.

Toyota 22R no problem.

Plymouth Valiant with a slant six engine .... You don't even have to change the oil.

 

[taxslave]

No. He actually does not.

SUre about that are you? Unless he has been trading them in regular one of them has to be in that range. That is only about 650000 miles which isn't much.

Even when they bring in tractor trailers to compare to Tesla (?!?)- they lie.

While the average car engine is only designed to last about 200,000 miles, the average semi engine will go approximately 1,000,000 miles. 75 percent of American communities depend solely on truck drivers to deliver goods and services.Feb 23, 2016

It'll die before the first oil change.

By all means let his compare Tesla to tractor trailers.

If only white people face discrimination and climate change is a hoax then that makes perfect sense

 

[petros]

Of course because Teslas never need brake jobs and no ICE can run longer.

 

[Hoid]

Evs in general never need brake jobs.

You seem to use Tesla to mean all EVs the way some people used to use the word Hoover to mean vaccum cleaner.

 

[petros]

Really? Apparently it's problematic with Tesla.

I use Hoover to describe the Winnipeg Blue Bombers because they suck. I never use it to describe a vacuum because I'm not British.

Certainly older gasses could clock high mileage but those days are long gone. Planned obsolescence and made in China parts quality have seen to that.
