    Sorry TSLA holders, it's partly my fault as I got my 5 years old Model Y checked by a third party garage for everything that should be fixed by Tesla before the end of the main warranty period.

      I'm reminded nearly every other day that EVs need no maintenance and should never see the inside of a mechanic's garage.

        Have not owned a tesla, but have had three EVs in the family. All three new cars. All of the EVs have spent way more days at the dealership than any of my ICE cars of the last 30+ years.

          Have had ICEs all my life, have one M3 2019. Been to the dealership exactly once in 7 years.

          For all the heat they got in the beginning when they were figuring out production (esp. panel alignment), 2019s were already very good performance and maintenance-wise.
