A friend of mine recently purchased a Tesla Model 3. I asked him, "Why?" He responded, "I don't have to buy gas, and the Tesla requires no maintenance or repairs." Oh really? If this is the public perspective of the electric vehicle, they are in for a shock. Yes, a fully electric car does not require gasoline, but they are far from problem-free or maintenance-free. EVs still have tires, steering systems, suspensions, a TON of electronics to repair and reprogram, a complex HVAC system, wheel bearings, differentials, brake systems, cabin filters, wiper blades, require wheel alignments, and on and on and on. Do we need to educate the public? Your opinion?
