Tesla’s Drivetrain Has 20 Moving Parts… Your Gas Car Has 1,000+ and Still Finds New Ways to Cry Every Month

Tesla owners out here living their best low-maintenance life while the rest of us are basically sponsoring our mechanic’s kids’ college fund.

Gas engine: 1,000+ moving parts

• Pistons going up and down like they’re at a rave
• Valves opening and closing like they’re arguing
• Timing belt, fuel pump, transmission, exhaust… all conspiring to fail at the worst possible moment

Tesla electric drivetrain: ~20 major moving parts That’s it. No oil to change. No spark plugs to replace. No transmission fluid to leak. No exhaust to rust.

It’s like comparing a Swiss watch to a Rube Goldberg machine built by a toddler on Red Bull.

Tesla driver: “Haven’t been to the shop in 3 years except for tires.” Gas-car driver: “My check-engine light is basically my car’s love language at this point.”

Fewer parts = fewer things that can (and will) break. Lower repair bills, less downtime, more money for actually driving instead of paying someone to yell “it’s the serpentine belt again.”

The future isn’t just electric… it’s dramatically lazier in the best way possible.

Who else is tired of their gas car acting like it has more drama than a reality TV show? Drop a ⚡ if you’re ready to join the “20-parts gang” and leave the 1,000-part soap opera behind.
