Battery life is mostly effected by heat. They continually lose “range” as they grow older. My experience has been that they need to be replaced every 3-4 years. Cost $600 to $1,000, depending on type selected.

Service? You’d better hope you won’t need any. Dealers of the major brands will give you a quick “no”. The independent repair guys may not be able to get parts.

The tire issue? If you play golf it’ll cost you several hundred dollars to replace them.

Enough said??
