I own a brother printer and never have had an issue. Only had to buy toner once in like ten years. I've had a Tesla for 3 years and will probably have to buy tires in another two years when I get to like 45,000 miles.
So yeah, this tracks I guess?
Are those the original tires from the factory?
They wear out at 30-35k miles, just FYI. EVs weigh more than ICE ~~cars~~ sedans- it's harder on the tires.
You can buy aftermarket tires that will last much longer, but you lose the internal foam that dampens road noise. Make sure you match the tire size. EVs require fairly specific heavy-load tires.
Edit: this was experience with a Model 3 coming from a compact gas sedan as my previous car.
A model 3 weighs under 2 tons, less than most SUVs and the same as any internal combustion car of the segment just above (BMW 5, Mercedes E class, etc).
And most manufacturers have now tires with dampening foam, from high end sporty tires to economical low rolling resistant tires.
Good to know that other manufacturers have added the foam! I miss how quiet the car was on the road. Last changed my tires in 2020, and I didn't see any all weather tires with dampening foam at the time in the size that I needed.
