That’s 45k per car. They probably have close to 0 maintenance cost and could probably charge for free during the day with solar farms they own (do they?). I could imagine that it is worth it in the end.
- foxyv 4y ago> They probably have close to 0 maintenance cost This is unfortunately incorrect. They actually cost a bit more than comparable Gasoline vehicles. https://jalopnik.com/advisor/tesla-maintenance-cost/ https://jalopnik.com/advisor/tesla-maintenance-cost/ However, the reduced fuel cost may be able to offset this and the additional purchase cost.
- max-ibel 4y agoSpeaking from my personal experience (specifically in California, so no “winter” maintenance), I have paid maybe $2000 in 10 years. No doubt I got lucky, but this is for California, so less than avg maintenance), the first 4 years are free, so I’m still believing they could be saving some $$$. maybe they negotiated better maintenance terms, not sure how fleet owners usually do it. Let’s revisit in 8 years and compare notes.
