How Much Does It Cost To Own A Model 3 and Model Y Tesla in Singapore (2024 Update) - https://www.moneykinetics.sg/cost-of-tesla-car-in-singapore/
Things you don’t need to worry about when buying a Tesla: https://x.com/niccruzpatane/status/1993449166752620882
• Oil changes (forever)
• Oil filter, air filter, or fuel filter replacements
• Spark plugs or ignition coils
• Transmission fluid changes (Tesla has a simple single-speed gearbox)
• Exhaust system repairs (mufflers, catalytic converters, oxygen sensors)
• Radiator, water pump, or coolant flushes
• Timing belt/chain replacement
• Fuel pump or fuel injector cleaning/replacement
• Serpentine belt or accessory belt replacements
• Head gasket failures
• Replacing 12V batteries (newer Teslas have lithium batteries)
• Transmission faults or failures
• Emissions testing & failing smog checks
• Overheating from coolant leaks or failed thermostats
• Stopping at gas stations
• Gas price fluctuations (the best)
• Multiple brake pad/rotor replacements (regenerative braking enables brakes to last onwards of 100k-200k miles for some people)
• NO MORE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS.
• Driving past 3 gas stations because “it’s 10 ¢ cheaper 2 miles away”
• Catalytic converter theft (yes that’s a thing)
• Not dealing with aggressive dealerships and service.
+ many more.
All the maintenance a Tesla really needs is:
• Tire Rotations (if applicable)
• Cabin Air filter replacements
• Brake fluid changes if needed after MANY years
Unlike a gas car that has 2,000-3,000 moving parts in its powertrain, a Tesla has only 20-50 moving parts.
That’s literally 100 times fewer moving parts than a normal gas vehicle. It’s the main reason Teslas (and EVs in general) are so reliable and need almost zero maintenance.
