The US is struggling to sell new cars and EV’s make up only 10% of new cars sold.
I would love to buy an EV but a brand new car is too expensive and there’s not much in the way of reasonably priced, used EVs available so I’m currently sticking with the internal combustion engine.
I’m sticking with my ICE cars because they have buttons and switches and only a tiny screen and won’t be selling my data to my insurance company and aren’t SUVs.
I put a deposit down too. Living somewhere kind of remote, I do worry about how far away a trained service shop will be. They’ll have less maintenance requirements for sure, but there will still be maintenance required.
FWIW, my local shop claim they can handle state Inspection, brakes, tires, and suspension work on my Tesla. The most likely to wear items are also more generic.
Of course an accident or some other breakdown is an entirely different story

Though I did put a deposit down on a Slate truck.
I have bad news for you about modern cars.
And what are the bad news?
Both China and EU are making certain physical switches a requirement; Due to the safety risk of ‘all is computer’
There’s a reason I don’t mind dumping thousands into two decade-plus-old cars.
Well, two. The other is that it’s still probably cheaper than buying something.
