It is weird that they don't stress the reduced maintenance costs. When something breaks down it is always extremely expensive (or they are overcharging you). Consider the life cycle of a car and there is something expensive that will break down.
- ams6110 13y agoMost cars these days don't "break down." There are maintenance costs which may well be lower on the Tesla (though some new car deals include free scheduled maintenance), but bottom line, if you can afford a Tesla or another car in its price range, maintenance and gasoline are not costs that are going to be significant in your budget.
- ricardobeat 13y agoMaintenance and repairs easily add 10% or more to the total ownership cost, and gasoline over 20%. $200/month adds up to almost $10k over 4 years.
