Ok, but what are the costs beyond $100k? Even the worst cars as far as maintenance (BMWs and such) can make it to $100k fairly reasonably. This is even more imp

Ok, but what are the costs beyond $100k? Even the worst cars as far as maintenance (BMWs and such) can make it to $100k fairly reasonably. This is even more important in the Tesla apparently because after 8 years you're shit out of luck on the powertrain apparently, at least according to another post here, and that's where the actual expensive parts lie. If this guy comes back in a few years (after the warranty expires) with this same Tesla at 200k still going strong and still having spent only a couple thousand max on repairs, that'll be a real achievement. As it stands, this simply shows the Tesla is not a total lemon, incredibly useful information, but expected.
