I drive a Toyota,
I have a Lexus and a Toyota, both 9 years old. Do they even have a check engine light? I hope so, because I forgot where the dealer is.
I drive an EV. I have no engine.
Engine and motor are synonyms. Broadly speaking, newer technology gets called motor to differentiate it from older technology.
See steam engine. Motor car. Etc.
And yeah, electric motors have fuck all to go wrong. Love my EV.
(Sorry for being a pedant)
Tesla motors are infamous for burning out rotor bearings, coolant leaks and leaking coolant into electronics.
Infamous compared to what? I’m no fan of Tesla but electric motors are a LOT more reliable than IC motors.
Note that this is not the same as saying Tesla’s cars are reliable…
Even electic motors have an optimal operating temp, but its not as detrimental to run outside it
I only have a bike. Completely immune.
Not immune to Ford trucks I tell you what.
Is that a threat?
