The EV thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

I havent read that survey but I've read discussions of it EB.
The EV owners believe that the "unreliability issues" are NOT mechanical issues and instead are often minor software issues.
The EV owners point out that this survey is owner complaints rather than recall type situations, a bit like how anti vaxxers were listing every possible ailment known to man and saying it was a adverse vaxx reaction.
Their consensus was that its an anti EV beatup but they're happy EV owners, so who knows ?

Fair Points NB, My Daughter has a Tesla Model Y(6 months in), its had a recall for a compliance issue and something to do with the reversing camera which I think was another update due to problems that were happening in the USA. Other than that its been fine other than a couple of flat tyres which is common with a lot of EV's that when go over anything like a nail it tends to embed deep due to the extra weight of the car due to the battery setup.  Annoying bit about that is you have to wait for the Tesla service van to arrive as there is no spare tyre or even a space saver spare like most EV's due to having no room and just a silly repair kit which doesnt work for inexperienced users and usually needs a bit of muscle to implement.
They were advised to buy a 3rd party space saver spare which they now carry and a heavy duty jack which wasnt a cheap exercise at the time. Bottom line is you are part of an experiment and I think have to expect recalls, updates and a few other problems as companies fine tune their EV's and deal with problems on the run ...
