Lol wtf, 4 of the top 6 are American brands? Hellll no, obviously Consumer Reports is garbage Chevrolet more reliable than Mazda? These boomers are literally smoking crack
Now add in 10 years of higher insurance premiums and faster depreciation, the gas and maintenance savings don't look quite as good anymore.
Insurance was where I got got
Does a Tesla have tires?
Yes and Tesla tires wear out faster due to the weight of the battery.
What happens when battery dies at 10 years?
Buick and Lincoln are only that high because grandmas and grandpas barely put any miles on them, and when they do, they drive slowly.
Yeah because battery insurance is for 10 years. But you pay for it in depreciation.
No way a Tesla is cheaper to maintain than a Toyota
It is. I’ve had my model s for 8 years. Zero maintenance. Just change wiper fluid. You know why? EVs have very few moving parts compared to ICE cars.
