I own a brother printer and never have had an issue. Only had to buy toner once in like ten years. I've had a Tesla for 3 years and will probably have to buy tires in another two years when I get to like 45,000 miles.
So yeah, this tracks I guess?
Are those the original tires from the factory?
They wear out at 30-35k miles, just FYI. EVs weigh more than ICE ~~cars~~ sedans- it's harder on the tires.
You can buy aftermarket tires that will last much longer, but you lose the internal foam that dampens road noise. Make sure you match the tire size. EVs require fairly specific heavy-load tires.
Edit: this was experience with a Model 3 coming from a compact gas sedan as my previous car.
Yes they are original tires. I check against bar in the tread periodically and wear is tracking about normal. When I was a kid someone watched me corner like a madman in my honda civic and said to me "wow you must really like buying tires." It really stuck with me. I had been buying tires frequently for that small car. Now I corner like a grandma and tires last forever.
You just connected the dots for me, when I had my accord I was changing my tires every year, I just got the model 3 and was wondering if I'd have to change it sooner than a year compared to my old accord because of it being heavier than the accord.
This is probably the case unless the new Model 3s are significantly lighter than the 2018 model.
