Just changed the brakes on my 2004 F150. Already had front pads, got the rear pads off Amazon for $17.98, stores wanted $45+. Rang me up yesterday for plugs and wires. $145. Hell no, got a set on Amazon for $52. I’m no Bezos lover, but I cannot afford local stores.
Everything I read scares me away from new vehicles, ICE or EV. I’m no mechanic, but I can change bulbs and plugs and wires and oil and brakes and air filters, you get the idea. The learning curve seems awfully steep for purchasing a used EV. I’ll have to do it eventually, but damn.
Now EVERY system is fly by wire?! I put on my brakes or turn my steering wheel, all mechanical, fixable, doesn’t need any fucking software updates. Nothing can be bricked or tracked.
Sell me on an EV. I want the Slate truck that’s stupid simple, hope it’s not a POS.
