Huh? I see a lot of parts that can fail. What do you mean?

Compared to a jet engine that moves at high speeds under great pressure and heat?

[aerospace_guy]

For sure, you're right that compared to a jet engine there are fewer parts. The caveat is you're comparing a large engine (and aircraft) with a much smaller one. Electric aircraft of today can't go anywhere near the range of jet engine powered aircraft, and hence the engine sizes are similarly sized. It's not a fair comparison, but you are right.

Tearing this down for inspection vs. a turboprop, for example, would be a dream.

I agree! Just that saying "almost nothing to inspect or maintain" is not true.
