At a point where a drive unit has to be rebuilt, it’s going to be hundreds of thousands more miles than an ICE would have on it when it requires a rebuild, and engine rebuild means “lifetime” is over. It’s effectively a new engine after that.

It isn’t an interval, though, it is lifetime. I’m apparently continually failing to make that point.

120k is only the warranty period on the drivetrain/battery, and I’m using it as an example, for parts that have zero maintenance, and are guaranteed for an amount of miles most people never even put on an ICE vehicle that otherwise requires oil changes every 3k-5k miles.

put back the old fluid

Irrelevant. Even being in the position of having a drive unit serviced at all is outside the norm or intent for lifetime of the vehicle.

Dude, this is utterly ridiculous nonsense and no one should be having their Tesla motor drive units cracked open to change lubricants. Not only does it void the 120k mile warranty, but it proves you have no experience with them.

You may as well be telling me to have my rear diff rebuilt on an MX-5 after 10,000 miles.

The motors are sealed and will last long beyond drivetrain warranty periods (which is 8 years, 120k miles on Model 3/Y). Battery packs do have a coolant that is intended to last the life of the vehicle, though I’ve heard of it being drained/replaced after maintenance where someone had failed valves in the coolant system.

ICE vehicles break down far faster, requiring loads more maintenance and parts replacement over their lives, even when properly maintained. More moving parts, more friction, more points of failure.

Since I once again have to get serious after a shitpost, Most EVs definitely don’t, because most on the road are Teslas, and there is no oil to change in their regular service.

The only annoying issue I’ve had so far is Fitness not reading the activity data properly.

I GOTTA CLOSE MY RING, MAN! (I’m waiting on my watch U2 so I can get into fitness+ properly)

Downvoters don’t know Brave is the best thing for iOS users.

Ya see, Android fellows, Apple forces everyone onto webkit in iOS, and iOS Firefox can’t use extensions.

Brave has its blocker built in.

What are ads?

Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!

The D: is a CD-ROM. Geez!

Dang whippersnappers.

My shoe can practically run Linux as a desktop OS.

Though to be fair, there’s no real reason anything that runs 10 can’t run windows 11 besides Microsoft’s artificial compatibility list.
