    Tesla owners said they had to wait nearly 23% longer to get their cars back compared to a gas car, while non-Tesla owners reported they had to wait 34% longer.

    And multiple visits to fix.

      Seems pretty luck of the draw at least in my area. I’ve had some absolutely fantastic technicians and some who seemed to just want to hand wave away my issue.

      The time comparison is invalid, because the repairs aren’t the same. Think about the maintenance you’ve done on ICE vehicles. Oil change, spark plugs, ignition coils? None of them have an equivalent EV repair. The ones that do (tires, 12v battery, air filter) are typically the exact same, and not worth contrasting.

      Trying to compare the two will be very difficult, and rely on more abstract measurements like cost per year.

      The multiple visits detail is very troubling though. It suggests the field is immature, and training/tooling are inadequate.
