    A lot less maintenance. Though they say tires go a lot faster but I haven’t had any issues.

    All the parts are easy to access on the Tesla from what I can tell. No idea how hard they are to swap out but since Tesla builds most of them, you’d have to get them through Tesla.

    There are companies that are working to repair the parts. Like fixing a motor rather than a unit replacement.

    I’ve had zero mechanical issues with mine. The paint is 100% garbage. They claim it’s California emission laws but I suspect it’s something else. Any rock strike and you’ll lose paint. a car wash knocked off a large chunk. Tesla fixed it but it made me question the quality.

    Apartments, condo, etc need access to a charger per unit. You need to be able to plugin on a regular basis. That is where I’d like to see more government money. Tesla has the highways fairly well covered.
