Hi All, I saw an article today, as I know Ozbargainers (except me) drive EV's or are planning on buying one. The Article is on Gizmodo, so enjoy the read my friends while I drive my Hyundai i30. :(

What's that mean Bro?
Yeah but how much to replace the batteries?
Did you forget the /s or are you really asking?
Long after I'd have sold it… so irrelevant really
Break fluid check: $24 (all models)
Tire rotation, balance and alignment: $372 (Model 3), $204 (Model X) $252 (Model X)How much can you trust an automotive article where they can't spell "brake".
Holy cow that's a truckload for rotation, balance and alignment
I agree about the rotation, and they obviously have to remove the tyres with a rattle gun (20s), throw it on the balancer etc. So a mechanic charges $120 an hour?
Hmmmm.
So a mechanic charges $120 an hour?
Well below all dealership labour costs.
Break fluid… maybe they test your coffee while your car is in for a service?
Coffee (break fluid) or brake fluid? They can have the same colour. That’ll be $24 thanks.
they are testing for a break in the fluid lines
Got charged $52 for a tire rotation at my service center. So looks like $320 just for balancing and alignment…
$20/tyre for balancing these days.
I wonder what's so special about the suspension setup that it costs $240 for the alignment?
Can’t even spell tyre correctly either.
I tried to service my Tesla cyber truck but couldn't even find the dipstick.
i couldnt find the truck
It’s in the drivers seat.
Got rick rolled dammit
