      That distance corresponds to about 4-8 years of regular driving. It’s really not unusual for any model of car to go that long without a major repair. When someone is claiming this is surprisingly good, it makes me think their bar is really low.

      And for what they cost, that bar should be REALLY high.

      I like when people choose less-frequently-used units. In felicific terms, reading your use of megameter raised my mood by at least 4.3 hedons.

      That is also striking to me. Not the 100k example above, there always are outliers, but the situation overall.

      It seems electric cars in general and Teslas in particular (given their headstart), having way less physical components that could break, must be considerably more reliable.

      But no.
