My first set of tires lasted 60,000 miles, which was the the rated range. The low rolling resistance of a typical EV tire can offset the extra wear you might expect from a heavier car. But it all depends on what kind of tires you use.
Did you know that engineers know how to design a chassis and suspension? I haven't been able to find anything that says the extra EV weight has been a maintenance concern as they would have been designed to carry that weight. It's no different from a large gas vehicle that weighs more. You just design for it.
Here is something ...
https://www.gmb.net/will-evs-need-more-suspension-maintenance/
They are trying to sell you a new suspension. Find something from an unbiased source like Consumer Reports.
Oh wait, Consumer Reports says,
"Survey results involving hundreds of thousands of CR members show that EV and plug-in hybrid drivers pay half as much to repair and maintain their vehicles."
They didn't say, but I'm quite sure that full electric cars also cost less to maintain than plug-in hybrids.
Consumer Reports also says,
“With an EV, you don’t have as many parts to replace on a regular basis, because there just aren’t as many moving parts as in a gasoline-powered car,” says Gabe Shenhar, associate director of CR’s auto test program. “The oil changes and engine tuneups we all know from gas cars are rendered obsolete by the EV’s relative simplicity.”

Not Joe's fault. Just stop buying gas.

Brand new overpriced car already needed a repair? Man, this keeps getting worse and worse. Paying 3x gas prices to charge, exploding cars 🔥🔥🔥🔥that the manufacturers say you can’t charge or park near anything, extremely inconvenient, $16,000 repair costs being “good news”, and now this...😂😂😂😂😂
Fun times. 👎👎👎
https://electrek.co/2021/07/18/tesla-is-charging-owners-1500-for-hardware-they-already-paid-for/I guess that’s more “good news”. 😂😂😂😂🦤🦤🦤
It needed repair because of a collision. Cars do get into collisions. Whether gas or EV, you can rack up an expensive repair the moment it drives off the lot.
Your latest article is about Full Self Driving. Some customers who didn't pay for Full Full Driving will need a hardware upgrade if they want to buy the latest software. It's no different from people who need to upgrade their phone if they want to get the latest software features.
There is no gas car you can buy that is as advanced as Tesla's Full Self Driving package. If you want that, you need to upgrade to a Tesla.
I don’t know about you but I enjoy paying $1500 for something I had already been charged for. 😂😂 then have to pay $2400/yr for it. The manufacture doesn’t seem scammy at all. 😬😬Keep an EV for 10 years and on top of paying a premium price to buy one, you pay at least an extra $24,000 dollars. Hope you don’t get one of those $16,000 repairs too. Sounds like a solid investment. 🦤🦤🦤🦤 Then your manufacture tells you not to charge it and to park far away from anything because it’ll probably blow up. Then pay 3x price of gas to charge (when you can find one). Fun times. 👎👎👎🦤🦤🦤

That has happened every summer since forever. It couldn't possibly be the oil companies' fault? Could it.
Higher gasoline prices help oil-dependent states, like Texas, pad their coffers. They might even send a few of those dollars to pay for Trump's wall. It looks like donations from the MA GA crowd will fall far short of making Trumper dreams become a reality ... build that wall ... Trumpers will pay for it.

If you don't want the upgrade you don't have to buy it.
If you drive a gas car, you don't even have the choice.

seems to me all a graham foe has to do is say somethign like:
lindsey, twice you stood up to trump and twice you backed off and ran away with your tail between your legs.
in the 2016 primary you said he was a buffoon and that he would destroy the republican party.
in 2021 after the insurrection you said you were through with donald trump. then a week later you were back with him.
who are you and why are you so cowardly, senator graham? why should voters believe a word you say?

but that dog don't hunt. Why?
Because he only goes on FOX?

Trump destroyed a lot of TX oil and gas jobs with his lunacy. It's like magically tzees forget that we export the stuff.

His dream car is a gadget-free 2000s sedan. Here started a thread about it. Some classic replies are,
-- jamin: "New cars just keep getting more expensive to justify the addition of non-optional useless gadgetry which clutters..."
-- "I’m honestly thinking of getting 2-3 good cars from the mid 2000s in the next few years and rotating their use for the rest of my life."
-- jamin: "you can take it to any car service nearby and get it fixed in 1 day. If a Tesla has a problem, it takes 1 month to fix. That's why a Tesla is usually someone's 2nd or 3rd car they currently own."
-- "I have an '06 Corolla ... one of the greatest practical simple economy cars ever built."
-- jamin: "Technological skeptic Neil Postman in 1996 talks about Cruise Control in new vehicles"

And also, you have the choice to buy Full Self Driving for $10,000. That includes a free upgrade and you don't have to pay the monthly subscription.
I thought it was worth the price for a car that drives itself. So I bought it and I love it.
But you could try to pay a million dollars for Full Self Driving and you still can't get it for your gas car.
Biden on live TV now boasting about his amazing economy... he's not shy like Obama. I can hear a lot of Tears4Trump spigots opening, bahaha.
Interesting perspective on political extremism as (literally) addictive behavior:
This is not good ... Tesla owners now have to be on the lookout for RATS!

Lots of cars have rat problems. They love to eat the insulation of the wiring.

No, it couldn't.
It is called supply and demand. If it is some "one's" fault then the "one" is Mr. Free Market.

Thanks - this is definitely how we get gary:
"This got me thinking about confirmation bias, and made me realize the “addiction” wasn’t to the outrage/anger/fear. Instead, the addiction was created by repeatedly receiving a dopamine reward every time their subjective beliefs (bias) were confirmed by Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Tucker Carlson, or whoever they plugged into...and the outrage, anger, and fear was merely the by-product of the addictive process."
“…political polarization/partisanship problem actually goes even much deeper because research has shown there may be a physiological component: fMRI scans were used to show that neuroanatomical regions that are associated with physically painful experiences. exhibit increased activity when people experience social exclusion or social separation. These findings indicate that it can literally become a *painful* experience when people disagree or speak out against groups of which they consider themselves to be members. This would seem to indicate that there are physiological components at play that cause people to prefer to be comfortably wrong (incorrect/uninformed), rather than uncomfortably right (correct/informed), when being right or correct would put them in contradiction with a group with whom they share an identity, or if being right or correct would threaten their group membership. If motivation or incentive for pain avoidance exists, it not only could conceivably create an aversion to objectivity or moderation, but it would incentivize groupthink, “collective narcissism”, etc.”. Similar to speaking out against a group that people derive their identity from.....there may be a pain avoidance component involved with aversions to refuting a conspiracy theory, or speaking out against a belief the rest of the group believes/propagates."
"If someone watched FOX for decades, and had memorized the talking points….they would eventually be able to anticipate future narratives 100% of the time. This would produce a limited dopamine experience, even though their biases are completely confirmed.
However, when right wing news consumers then turn on OANN, Newsmax, Alex Jones, etc., and hear new fantastical details that are added to the mainstream right-wing narrative, these people's anticipation-to-reward ratio has now been disrupted.
And as Sapolsky demonstrated in the video above, this disruption will cause dopamine spikes that are optimized when people are not able to correctly predict or “anticipate” 50% of what they are being told.
This creates an incentive structure where they are “rewarded” by continually seeking out more extreme, more radical, and more delusional information and narratives in order to continually maintain the optimum 50/50, anticipation-to-reward ratio."
