For inexpensive cars electric or otherwise it’s probably just cheaper to replace it at the 12 or 15 year point. For higher end high performance cars like the model S it’s probably worth replacing suspension components, steering, seats etc. Brakes are probably good for the life of the car. I doubt that I touch my brake pedal more than once a week...if that. The cybertruck is stainless steel so less things to rust but the cars are just as susceptible to rust as any vehicle. My wife’s Tesla and my leaf are completely smooth underneath but suspension components are still exposed to road salt etc. The car seems pretty well screwed together. We usually keep our cars for about 7 years. There will still be warranty left on it then. My guess is we’ll have less than 120,000 km on it by then...at least at the rate we are going. :). Maintenance is dirt cheap though. We are in year 5 with our leaf and have gone thru a couple jugs of washer fluid. That’s it. Nada más. Cheap cheap. No oil, no oil filters, no air filters, wires, plugs, hoses, brakes. Woohoo.
