$3k in maintenance costs for 400,000km? I call bull shit. In Tesla tire sizes, you're looking at $1000 for a cheap ass set of tires. Certainly not gonna last 10

$3k in maintenance costs for 400,000km? I call bull shit. In Tesla tire sizes, you're looking at $1000 for a cheap ass set of tires. Certainly not gonna last 100,000 miles either.

Specifically says not including tires in the Twitter post.

  Excluding the most expensive wear items is misleading though.

    Tyre cost is highly variable depending on driving style etc - it makes sense to exclude it.

    Buying new tires and balancing them can be done in a tire shop, no dealership needed?

You don't need to buy tires at the dealership, and in fact most people don't.

  No, certainly you can go to Discount Tire and buy a set of bargain basement $400 20" tires for your $100,000 car.

    The entry-level Tesla 3 was $35k, and most tire shops have better prices even on the fancy tires than the dealerships.

      The entry level 3 hasn't been $35K for several years. The entry level 3 with absolutely nothing on it is $47K before tax. In any case, this specific example was a high end Model S.
