Please, how much time have you spent working on cars? Most cars are quite straightforward to service. It takes a while to get to the timing belt, to be sure, but that's the nature of the timing belt. Cars made in the last 5 years are getting nasty, but that's because of how damn complicated & compact they are anymore. Things get stuffed in funny corners because they are running out of space. (Trucks, which don't try to be "city-sized", still have room aplenty in the engine bay) Cars made in the 70's had dumb design decisions sometimes because they were still learning how to design a car to be servicable. (Like some old domestic, I forget which, whose V-6 had to be removed to access three of the spark plugs. I'm pretty sure heads rolled when they put everything together and discovered that little oversight!) I've worked on Hondas, Toyotas, Subarus, Volvos, Nissans, and Chevys, from the mid-70's to the late 90's, and I do not believe for a moment any of them were designed to be hard to service on purpose. P.S. The main service I do on my cars these days is brakes, tires, light bulbs... There are other items for sure, but modern engines are very reliable. Tesla is not immune to any of these. |
