Or not buy anything half baked like a Tesla that have been shedding various parts for close to a decade now.

"Whompy Wheel Syndrome"? Let's call a spade a bloody shovel. Broken suspension parts (record so far is with just 115 mi. on the odo).

The mighty General has been at it for 115 years. They are still clueless.

BiL has an ice soul. Its fine. His wife calls it the clown car. They like it ok. I have no idea about ev soul. As Brian P continually points out, platforms converted to ev are normally a painful compromise compared to those engineered as ev from the start.
