No retard. Tesla has a mobile “ranger” tech do simple repairs and maintenance. I’ve used them for maybe 8 - 10 tire rotations and to swap out my summer and winter wheels / tires (do you know poor people south of Ontario that actually have separate mounted summer / winter tires?), and they did one minor warranty repair (fogged tail light) and two repairs I paid for myself ($158 for a trunk actuator arm, and $200 for the 12 volt battery after 5 years of use). Those repairs were incredibly cheap compared to competitors (if not DIY) and very convenient.What's really funny is when you have politicians try to drum up support for EVs doing long travels and they send people to block chargers before they arrive so they don"t have to wait.
You just said you had a mobile mechanic do all your work. Is that mobile mechanic doing warranty repairs because your EV is a shitbox and you are poorer than you pretend to be online?
My gas guzzler goes to the Toyota dealer or a trusted indie mechanic that specializes in Toyotas. I often purchase my own OEM parts directly from online parts stores of Lexus dealers. I’m a maintenance spaz and don’t fuck around with stretching out service or using non OEM parts.
My EV is a shitbox in terms of assembly compared to my gas guzzler. But so are most new vehicles. Nobody is denying that. It has been extremely reliable and ridiculously cheap to operate and live with. My entire point was that maintenance on just the gas guzzler is enough of my time that I don’t want another. The EV is just that much easier to live with that I’m not giving that up
