I refuse to trust a car I can't fix myself

Isn't that basically all cars nowadays? It's not about the type of engine, cars have gone "no serviceable parts inside" for at least a decade.

Yeah, and my last car was from the 80s lmfao. After seeing the way my coworkers were practically beholden to mechanic shops just to keep their cars running like every six months, I said 'no thank you'.

Good news, oil changes on electric cars are not a thing. Wiper blades, wiper fluid, air filters, rotate tires is about it. Maybe brakes and brake fluid at some point but haven’t needed it in over 5 years yet.

Only thing I’ve needed at the mechanic is rotate/balance tires and replace cracked windshield as I don’t want to own the equipment for that.
