Agreed. We are on our second Tesla which in 4 years only required wiper blades and a fresh AC filter. $150 all up. That's it.

With PV cells on our roof, the energy cost of driving is almost nil. The car still
gives us 490km on a full charge. (I do have a heavy right foot ).

The only frustration I have with Tesla is their BS range figures (many other automakers have the same problem). If the box says 560km, in the real world you will likely only get 510km or so.

But then again there is that right foot of mine.....0-100km/hr in 3.2 seconds (which is accurate)
and is so much fun!
