I'm hiking across Ontario. It will never stop baffling me seeing the most rural houses imaginable, middle of nowhere. What's in the driveway? Tesla.
What you gonna do if it breaks down!? Walk!?
Edit: I'm learning a lot about cars in this thread :D Thanks for the feedback all!
I mean what do you do if your Jeep or Toyota breaks down!? Walk!?
Have you ever fixed an older combustion engine vehicle? You watch a youtube video and a few hours later, you can, in most cases, at least get the car to a state so you can drive it to a mechanic. On modern combustion engine vehicles this is still possible, although a bit more difficult.
Uhhh, EVs? No way you're fixing anything in there.
I’ve been an Automotive Technician for a couple decades now and I can safely say combustion engines have way more parts that fail and if you can use a youtube video to diagnose your ICE (very rarely is this possible) then you’re smart enough to do the same with an EV.
There is way less parts on an EV and they are way easier to fix.
