Just replace the fluids and flush the radiator every 40k. Still works great. A bit more noisy under the hood but again, it's at 230k+ miles... This car of his seems to break constantly.

Including when I did Lyft more than you've done Uber. I have zero noticeable damage to my car from doing Lyft other than someone spilling a drink and not telling me so it molded - sprayed bleach on it and it was fixed. Already had the bleach so it was free. My tank is less than $50 and I fill up once a week max. So I'm also spending about the same as you on energy cost. My hybrid car wasn't even $25,000 and I've never had to redo the suspension- let alone 4 times.

The crackling and rattling down the road is so embarrassing. Being such a quiet car u can just hear anything and everything. I really dislike the screen. I have to look out of the road just to see how fast im going. The worst part is my Tesla would not supercharge. Ended up only using it for a day. Glad to not own one.

An older/disabled person, or a child in a carseat would have no means of escape; first because there's no door handle, and then because of pressure. Even a reasonably able bodied adult would probably have a difficult time getting out (and if the driver+ front passenger are incapacitated and in the way, it would be even worse).

they don't really offer battery replacements, and it's kind of to-be-determined how long they last since the oldest model 3s are only 6 years old so far. they claim the battery pack should last 300k to 500k miles, but tesla claims a lot of things lol. some have hit 300k already, which have 20% range degradation but still working. so i think the idea is once the range is too low for your usability, you'd trade it in for a new one, and then once the batteries are useless, they get removed and recycled into new battery packs. so i'm probably good for another 10 years hopefully? but i imagine i'll have something new by then

Yes, it was quiet, but do you also know what else has excellent sound isolation? Like ever modern car, what is also its weaknesses. I honestly wasn't all that impressed all honestly, and I have heard other car guys overly guss over them and also heard even more car guys also say why they are over-rated. Basically, what I imagined all these years. Over hype and boring, but again, it could be me being a car guy. I have also riding in much nicer and just as equally boring, sounding cars for the money two, tho. Am I just sincle? I will leave that up to you, but I think I am just being honest, really.
