Here's an amusing observation: When a Tesla vehicle is repaired Tesla sends a van to where the vehicle is. The van is always gasoline powered.

@@aussie2uGA All of the repair vehicles I have personally seen pulled up to people's houses to fix Tesla's have been gasoline powered vans. While it is possible that the Model S or any other model could be outfitted to be a service car they certainly don't have the space a van would have. My point is, if Musk thinks electric cars and specifically the Tesla, is such a reliable vehicle why don't they make vans to service their own vehicles?

I have a 2006 Tundra. Have had to replace and fix several thousand dollars in parts. The rear end differential is not very robust for towing and easily breaks down.

[@tedantares2751]

An interesting question is what happens when Tesla discontinues some models. Will Tesla stop making parts for them that are not shared with newer models?

[@GSimpsonOAM]

To be fair most manufacturers only legally obliged to make parts for 5 years. Unless independent supplies keep the parts going or special interest vehicle you are in trouble. It pays to do due diligence on parts availability before buying an older car.

[@fromthebackofmymind]

I worked in Auto Salvage Yard decades ago. There was a phone network system called the "Hot Line". Connecting yards over an entire region. You can drive for years on good used parts.

It's sort of ok though since at least one off shore company was selling "alternative" software. It's a shameful mess.

[@ericdavis2312]

U need to remove Samsung from your list. Samsung has lots of authorized 3rd party repair places that you can go to repair their products and not just a Samsung store. It is one of the reasons I have chosen to buy Samsung phones over Apple phones (besides the fact that they are superior in almost every way).

[@Rusty_Shackleford099]

Yep. And when the power goes out due to a natural disaster (earthquake, hurricane, etc) and power is going to be out for a few weeks, anyone with an electric car is gonna be hurting. One thing I learned when living in Florida is that when a storm is coming, you fill some empty gas cans so you have fuel. Electric cars are a niche product which will never be practical for universal use.

[@Rusty_Shackleford099]

​@@garymunson2493 Maybe not in your area. But in many parts of the country, it's difficult to find a viable charger. Seattle was in the news last week because the majority of charging locations there are non-functional. Some of them are just broken but most of them are down because people keep steeling the copper wiring. And Seattle isn't alone. There similar news stories every week about a different part of the country experiencing similar issues with charging locations. If you live in an area where charging isn't an issue, great. But it's foolish to assume that the whole world looks exactly like the view from your front door.

[@comradelieutenant]

@@Rusty_Shackleford099 for Florida it is very practical: you just use your solar panels which run your pool to charge your Tesla, while everybody else is sitting in long lines at gas stations. It is always warm, your battery capacity never diminished due to cold, you never waste your charge to heat your car and seats. If you don't need to go anywhere, you can tap your battery for electricity, and use the battery to absorb solar power when it has no use. EV, like F-150 Lightning is even more useful, and designed around these ideas. The only thing I am not sure about, is it's performance at boat ramp: if lithium meets water, ouch...

[@teresamcnulty8471]

that's a shame. I hate when I needed a part for any car I had.....like my '96 Lexus ES....a cluster of sensors. It's really not honorable at all. As long as the car is "out there" parts should be available!

If it's not proprietary that only a dealer can access. They don't even know what batteries or plug they are going to use and that's if the charger works and all the while we're all paying the car company's with taxpayer money to buy all the electric until the power goes out and voltage spikes and Don't forget global warming and more severe storms and more lightning strikes and flooding.

What I don't get is the "Full Synthetic" schtick. Oil not only lubricates, but it also collects debris from friction and unburnt fuel etc. When oil is saturated with contaminants it no longer is lubricating the engine as intended. So how does a full synthetic oil capture and hold more particulates than standard oil?

[@shitfarmer8686]

Oil get dirty, still lubricates.

[@Yophillips3272]

It's not about it being dirty. It's really not that complicated you get a can of grease there's the High Temp kind and then the cheaper standard grease. That's the difference it's better Before it gets dirty and it lasts longer. If the oil is dirty and burnt you need to change it either way. But you use the better kind if you want to get more time out of it. The oil filter is what filters oil otherwise they wouldn't even use filters, your acting like the oil attracting dirt and carbon is good I guess in terms of cleaning it is but that's not the main goal.

[@kevinmaas9537]

You are CORRECT ! It doesn't ! As you know, when it's dirty oil, it's time to change it, around 3,ooo miles or so, give or take up to maybe as much as 4,500 miles, no more. Due to the operating characteristics of the engine, that's what determines oil change intervals.

Apparently Elon Musk never heard of Henry Ford. In order to be truly successful your vehicles have to be readily available and affordable. There are a lot of Tesla car owners in my neighborhood for some reason. Now there is at least one Cybertruck owner. It is even worse than I heard. It looks like a reject from “Logan’s Run.” I saw the first electric Hummers at a local GMC dealer this past weekend. The lowest price was $142,000. Who the hell can afford these things?!

[@williamrossetter9430]

Good discussion, Scotty. Being a former Californian, I heard the same news that Teslas cannot be fixed with collision parts quickly and efficiently. Old Elon is an oligarch, no doubt. On our trip across the US from California to Delaware, we only saw 2 Teslas on the interstate. So, you cannot get spare parts and get the infrastructure to get you across country in five days. GMCCA is another story. Having serviced them for 4 years, it is like working with the US Government. Too much IATF work with GM (quality standards). Not ever planning to buy a GM or Tesla vehicle!

I'm going to be in the market for a new car soon and it seems that all the vehicles lately are garbage and not designed to last.

That Sable is just fine. needs an oil flush treatment and "Bernie's Valve Clean". The transmission is a cream puff though, treat her well.

I have a 1930 Model 'A' Ford. Curiously, any part I need for it is still being manufactured and is available. A few years back I owned a Ford Focus wagon from near new. What a disappointment that was. Wouldn't buy a new Ford any time soon, but I love my old one. Tesla, I hear, fun to drive if they are charged and the temperature is not below freezing.

If you only do a low mileage each year you're better off with a gasoline powered than a hybrid or full electric.

How to do a survey of reliable used cars quickly. Go to an organized auto junk yard,( transportation repurposing facility if you're in CA.) Check out how many of the model you're interested in are there,or NOT there. Don't be surprised if there are no early civics or eclipses. There will be a lot of Hyundais.

Haven't had a problem in 5 years with my Tesla Model 3 Performance getting it serviced. Very reliable. My Tesla has just a few less moving parts compared to an ICE vehicle. No transmission, no motor oil, no antifreeze , no belts, no starter, no ignition system, no exhaust system, no water pump, no radiator. Just 2 induction motors that are very reliable and efficient. So it's hard to compare with the engine in your internal combustion vehicle. At 16 cents a kWH at home you get a range 4 miles that's 40 miles for $1.60

[@aussie2uGA]

Thats the thing, owners love their Teslas while the media hates Elon and will smear the company every opportunity they can. Sad.

[@mrgarrison3516]

My research says Tesla's have radiators & coolant for preventing the battery from overheating. Also my research says Tesla's have a 1 speed transmission that uses a transmission fluid called Pentosin ATF 9. 🤷

[@aussie2uGA]

@@mrgarrison3516 nope. The coolant has no pressure and no heat, those are the things that break down the glycol and components. The coolant simply circulates around like on a cpu. There is no transmission at all. The gears are part of the motor which is bathed in oil. Lifetime rated at 1 million miles.

[@mrgarrison3516]

@@aussie2uGA I don't think there's such thing as lifetime transmission fluid..... even my dealership said that about my car I still change the fluid. So what cools the Tesla battery?

[@aussie2uGA]

@@mrgarrison3516 remember it’s heat and pressures that break fluids down. When you remove those, you’re simply circulating the fluid and that can easily outlast the car. The coolant and radiator has no real pressure, just like in a desktop pc cpu

I'm 63. If necessary, my next car will be a 3800 V6 Oldsmobile. Ill buy it on my cc and pay it off in 2 months! I change my oil myself at no more than 2500 klms. Freinds say that's too much, but i like amber oil in my engine. 15 year, 2093 Saturn is good for a 15 year daily driver!
