    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.

    Though I did put a deposit down on a Slate truck.

        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.

      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
