0$ on my Tesla in 5 years. Literally. No brake change, no transmission, no out of pocket maintenance, not even a windshield fix (though that’s more luck). Changed the tires once.
The battery is still above 90%. We don’t know how long that’s gonna last but we’ll probably just change the battery and not even the brakes.
This has always been my understanding of electric cars. I live in a third would country, and they just started selling them here. My wife and I do not have any needs for a car at the moment, but when we do, I want to get an electric car due to minimal maintenance.
Yeah the reason I asked them is because on my VW Id.4, in 3 years I’ve had none either. It’s telling that they haven’t answered.
