You references the cost of maintenance for a Model S, but then compared to to ~35K cars. You should probably compare it to what BMW charges for a 5 or 7 Series.

Also, according to Edmunds.com, a 3 Series BMW will cost you about $2,000 in annual maintenance after the 3 year warrantee expires.

- cmurf 11y agoConsider the list of maintenance items for a Model S, the Model 3 would hardly be any different. So it's reasonable to compare to a $35K car. And saying I should compare it to a maintenance hog of a car like a BMW isn't reasonable. Maybe it's not reasonable to compare it to my own sample size of 1 either, which is my Audi A4, which had free maintenance for 3 years, and the most expensive it got after that was one year for 60K mile service getting a new timing belt. On average it's been less than $500 a year to maintain.
