Lol, the fact that you asked him this while he worked on the first generation Tesla Roadster (which was built on a Lotus Elise chassis) is hilarious. So many of the parts he said were “easy to work on” were designed by Lotus, not including the electronic parts.

@sebione3576

Жыл бұрын

Actually, the lotus chassis had to be completely redesigned because it was not designed with electric motors or the weight of a massive battery pack in mind. The engineers at Tesla regretted using the lotus body, because it turned out to be more work to modify than building their own from scratch. There are few moving parts on an electric car. This mechanic is not lying.

This is why the legacy auto manufacturers are SCREWED. They dont really make profit off selling cars, they make profit off spare parts and financing. Since EVs are so simple, maintenance costs are minimal. So the spare parts racket will disappear.

Well there's a big difference from doing tires and brakes suspension parts and shocks you know that's all the easy kind of stuff just replacing stuff is easy and it is a heavy car so it kind of wears out suspension parts but not anymore than any other vehicle I think
