Neglecting a cabin air filter isn't going to make your EV fall apart. You can neglect that on an ICE too. Imagine how much worse these people would have it with an ICE vehicle - neglecting oil changes, oil filter, brake fluid, radiator coolant, air intake filter, spark plugs, valve cover gasket, power steering fluid, putting the wrong gas in, topping off with the wrong oil, etc...

I own my EV for 6 years+ already, still runs like new. Yeah, I do not know how to change my air filter, someone in my family changed it, and I only been in service once when my 12 volt battery died.

I was able to drive there, they did some breaks fluid change for free and thats it, meanwhile my friend with a bmw spent ~$2.5k in service since 3 years he bought it.

The only expense I had is changing tires, that i did in a regular tire shop.

Yeah keep laughing.

Are you saying EV owners are new to car ownership? Do you have sources for your claims? I have a hard time following your logic.

I'm pretty sure that the experience needed to perform the vast majority of maintenance work on an EV can be gotten in a week of interactions with ChatGPT.

Whereas something like doing your own oil change requires a lot of preparation to get right and then you still have the issue of disposing of the oil.

Obviously for repairs you are more screwed with an EV than with an ICE.
