6-700kms without stopping for breaks is not good for you. But even if it is, that's a corner case for the majority of users
regarding maintenance - please tell me you are joking?
what maintenance? there is nothing to do on it other than air filters. No oil, no transmissions, not belts to change.
Brakes get a lot more mileage.
And before someone says "but the battery" - that's estimated to be a problem on my car between 3-500,000 miles.
That's way beyond the lifetime of an average car
"No oil" , is there no oil in the differential, or reduction gears ?
Is there no brake fluid ?
No coolant for the battery ?
No gas in the AC ?
All these need topping up at least , and changing at regular intervals would be good
As for the battery , I hope you do get 300-500 K , but a lot of EV owners haven't got anywhere near these mileages before suffering battery issues.
( Is the 300-500k estimate,another promise from Elon, the man who never lies)
It's not like modern cars need a service every month , some have 20k mile service intervals,
I have seen plenty of reports of 10 year old EVs needing a battery, that's the equivalent in price of a 10 year old IC needing an engine.
An annual oil change/filters/brake pads on a petrol car over a 10 year period will still be a lot cheaper than battery replacement on an EV.
