I heard someone said that, at the end EV will cost you almost the same as gasoline vehicle, if you have to change the expensive battery every so often. Can someone please give me more info on this? Thank you so much.

    How often do you change tyrea? Also once a year? I always imagined that due the weight thetyres usage must be higher. Right now i work in a neighborhood with a lot of teslas and i saw that almost all their front tyres are absolutely gone.

      If you live in a cold country it’s twice a year to put winter tyres and then the summer ones.

      Which you don’t buy every time obviously, but still the change and storage fee is going to be about hundred Euros/dollars each time.

        I found that a second set of rims and a splurge on an impact wrench paid for themselves in about 2 years.

        Saves a ton over the life of the vehicle!

      That’s what happens when you don’t rotate your tires. If you rotate them every 6000 miles or so, they’ll be fine for a while. My stock tires are a year old and still look great.
