Maybe, but I think that’s just how EVs are, generally. No timing belts, head gaskets, spark plugs, transmission, etc. Almost all the stuff I had to get regularly maintained on my previous cars don’t exist on EVs. I’ll probably get my brakes checked around 200k miles or if I start to hear them. Maybe my A/C will break down. We’ll see.
They have all the same suspension parts, and there is significantly more wear on them due to the increased weight. They also go through brakes more frequently due to corrosion due to lack of use.
People think their Tesla is great partly because they never get a mechanic to go over it. They think EV = no maintenance. Ignorance is bliss.

I’ll keep an eye out for that, thanks.

Just curious, are you a mechanic in Germany?
Not Germany, but I am a mechanic for one of the “luxury” German brands.
