    This can’t be right, electric cars have a lot less moving parts than gas cars. I get that a lot of electric car manufactures are new companies but mechanically they are significantly simpler. Simplicity almost always leads to reliability. As another comment stated there was a german study that showed the issues are not significant enough to leave someone stranded.

      It’s also based on complaints. People unfamiliar with normal electric vehicle features will complain about them.

      There’s probably a lot of growing pains. A whole ton of automakers are putting out their first generation models and some of them are going to miss things and fuck it up.

      Like botching the 12v battery upkeep system.
