I own a 2018 Nissan Leaf (40kwh). Zero issues, knock on wood. The only maintenance thus far, replace the brake fluid, replace the cabin air filter and before last winter, I decided to mount the Bridgestone Weatherpeak (All Weather) tires. The battery is still 100%. There are less parts involved and no emission control components that a re prone to failure.
You should mention the mileage
They said it. 2018 miles. They got it last month, just drove it home and ran some errands with it.
Why so many downvotes to what is clearly a joke.
I have a 2017 Tesla Model S (100kwh). I had my first maintenance issue this year. The 12v battery needed replacing (it runs the aux systems, just like an ICE vehicle) but didn’t keep me from driving while it was sending the error code. 107k miles and it’s mostly been wiper fluid, wiper blades, and 2 tire changes. I need to replace my windshield, but electrically and mechanically speaking… no major issues.
+1…I replaced the 12V battery this year too.
That's good, standard batteries last around 5 years so you got 2 extra.
I just had a total brain lapse.. yeah. I was replacing my battery every 3 years when I had a Buick. Humid, hot climate and what not.
