Milford, IL | Oil changes do add half a penny a mile. 8 qt, plus a filter, 7k interval. Labor is free :)
Probably takes an hour drinking beer but I don't drink beer so its faster.
Owned for 65k miles so have a pretty good handle on repair cost. No air filters, one fuel filter, no batteries, one poorly designed plastic thermostat housing. Two sets of tires but this set has 20k left in it. One alignment hired out. One unexpected A/C compressor that did wreck the sepentine belt when the 'shear hub' didnt shear. One set of rear brake pads. Figure roughly $300 of parts that an EV wouldn't have in 65k miles. And tires last longer because our auto weighs 1300# less than a Model X.
Suspension repairs have been a nightmare but I knew that going in. Jaguar suspension design has been the same basic design for a long time and not known for long service life. Probably 4 or 5 cents a mile in suspension repair, the bulk of that in a complete rebuild at 80k total odometer miles. | |
