SageBrush said:I shared your reasoning up until recently, and I'm sure it will turn out to be true some of the time. The threads about inner tie rod replacement were my first hint that replacement parts are not the simple matter we hope for, and of course that is just the mechanical parts that rarely need replacement in our low mileage cars.
Try to source an EV part and you will be ready to junk the car. Regarding body parts, there are no 3rd party parts.
There is a good amount of aftermarket support for generic wear parts, sensors, and suspension but I guess maybe there are a few big ticket items that are OEM only. I suppose it just depends on the specific part and the likelihood of that part breaking. To date my car cars reliability has been stellar and all indications are that it will stay that way based on my most recent inspection in January, but I can't say for sure what will happen.
