I figure it is a vehicle that I rely on to get to work and anyone would spend that much money on a repair bill for their daily driver without question. I had to step back and stop thinking about it as 63% of my total investment so far and realize that it still is a ridiculously cheap EV in the grand scheme of things. Plus, it is fun money.
Now that I made it work I am going to take a few (and in this case, costly) steps to make it reliable.
