If you had to buy one efficient car today to keep for the next 15 years, what would it be and why?

Agree with you. About the tires; I have two EVs one with 50k and one with 45k and they both just passed inspection. I haven’t done the tires (actually haven’t done anything not even a rotation) So maybe that’s true but it’s not crazy. I think it’s heavily influenced by the speed of the vehicles. Even without realizing it the cars take off crazy fast, I realized this after someone told me to look behind me after a red light. Going that fast, time and time again plus the weight, it’s going to burn some tires

There’s a lot of data out there. A quick google search agrees with me. Take this one for example https://recharged.com/articles/tesla-model-y-battery-degradation-per-year At 200k you lose 15%. In my car I could literally lose 80% and wouldn’t matter since I charge it every night. However exterior of the car will start to the bed before it even hits 25%. The right battle against the battery’s isn’t wear and tear. It’s weather, you lose a lot of range when it’s below freezing. However they are working on new solid state batteries that address this.

Why wouldn’t you have a home charger , that stat doesn’t make sense. In 15 years battery degrades by 10%. So we’re talking 30 miles. No oil changes make up for all that and more
