The big downside of electric cars is range anxiety, and the inconvenience of trying to find a place to charge your car. However, at least the upside of electric cars is that in the long run, you need to concern yourself less with random things breaking in the engine, whether it be the pistons, changing the oil and transmission fluids, Anything to do with the transmission, which is a lot, as well as random pulleys, shafts and other assortments.

Therefore, perhaps getting a Tesla, in terms of longevity is actually superior. Nothing will really “break“, and you no longer require any mechanics.

Also, the big upside is that with people who know nothing about cars, always the fear of being ripped off by a mechanic, especially if you are a woman. At least with electric cars, the only issues will probably have to do with the longevity of the battery. Besides that, everything else will probably be fine.
