> lower maintenance costs than ICE vehicles
I researched it prior and it seems people pay very little for maintenance. I've personally logged 13k mi in 10 months and literally had no maintenance expenses.
> higher insurance costs than ICE vehicles
There are so many variables to insurance pricing. Not to mention that you can bargain. I honestly have a hard time comparing. My rate is around 600 per 6 months.
> possibility of long delays for repairs (moreso than other EVs)
I've heard about wait times for particular parts. I haven't had an issue myself. I can't compare to other EVs, since I haven't owned others.
> possibility of company going out of business, and impact on software maintenance, software updates, and parts availability (also moreso than other EVs)
This seems extremely unlikely at this point. Should it happen, the car will still charge and drive just fine.
