    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?

      Brother printers haven’t “innovated” in years, and produce fully functional printers without software lockout and freemium “features”. They just make printers, and don’t screw their customers. Brother is the Toyota of printers.

      Tesla is the HP of printers. Deviates greatly from a standard model of a printer, locks down standard printer features, and sells them back to the customer as a service.

        Well the new brothers refuse to print when toner is low. Old ones would still print after giving the toner cartridge a shake even if the prints looked shitty.

      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.

        Yes they are original tires. I check against bar in the tread periodically and wear is tracking about normal. When I was a kid someone watched me corner like a madman in my honda civic and said to me “wow you must really like buying tires.” It really stuck with me. I had been buying tires frequently for that small car. Now I corner like a grandma and tires last forever.

          You just connected the dots for me, when I had my accord I was changing my tires every year, I just got the model 3 and was wondering if I’d have to change it sooner than a year compared to my old accord because of it being heavier than the accord.
