    Less moving parts means an entire drivetrain replacement when something inevitably goes wrong and maintenence =/= repairs

      Not necessarily, in theory anyway, but we all know big auto likes full replacements of everything so effectively yes, absolutely. It doesnt matter what powers the car though. The [undisclosed purpose sensor #7] fails and suddenly you have to replace the car computer which is encased in opaque resin for some reason and not even servicable by the engineer that designed it.

      If I recall, teslas are built like shit so they have to be replaced entirely. the last statistic I saw was electric cars have 2/3 the maintenance costs of gas cars and will last as long as their frame does.
