How Much Does Tesla Maintenance Cost? Joey wets panties

[Lionfish]

"According to RepairPal, the average Tesla maintenance cost is $832 per year. That compares to an average of $652 per year for all car models sold in the United States. Depending on which services your Tesla needs, you may end up spending much more than the average car owner on yearly maintenance needs.

As of 2021, Tesla remains a new kid on the block in the automotive space. Due to this, little data is available concerning Tesla’s overall reliability and its average cost of ownership. Complicating matters further is the fact that Tesla models lack many components usually found in cars with internal combustion engines.

Because so many Tesla vehicle parts are unique and difficult to find, expect to spend more than your average driver on Tesla maintenance costs. On top of this, luxury car brands like Tesla tend to charge premium prices for their vehicle parts."

"Tesla Average Reliability
Though not much information exists yet about the overall reliability of Tesla models, early results aren’t encouraging. In the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Vehicle Dependability StudySM, Tesla ranked 30th of 33 car brands for overall reliability. That’s better than only Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, and Land Rover among all automakers across the country."

When Electric and hybrid vehicles were first available, most people bought them as luxury or novelty items.

Just about every family owns a novelty car, whether it be a sports car, or antique, hot rod, RV, off-road etc.

EV's and hybrids are really not just concept cars anymore though. Today, you have to really try to decide what best fits your needs, before spending 30 -50k on a new automobile.

It may serve you best to buy a hybrid or electric car in today's world. Then again, it may not. It would be stupid to buy or not buy one, just to make some stupid and unwise political score with your buddies.

"Additionally, how you maintain your tires also matters. Tesla recommends its users to rotate, balance, and align their tires every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Regardless, Tesla tires have an average lifespan of around 26,000 miles. So, depending on your driving habits, the tires may wear before or after covering these miles."

The high cost of a Tesla doesn’t stop at its price tag. Insurance for a Tesla tends to be significantly more expensive than that of other popular vehicles, despite high safety ratings.

We get it. Tesla is an expensive luxury car. Have you seen the cost of maintenance on a Ferrari?

Every household on my block has a novelty car of some type, and we are not exactly a McMansion neighborhood.

There are still a lot more of licensed vehicles out there than licensed drivers. TRUST ME!

Don't forget, that Tesla is one of the least reliable, worst made, production cars in the US today...

On my street, virtually every house has at least one pickup truck or service van in the driveway. Also interestingly, if you go to the low rent district in the gunfire zones--so-to-speak--you see an awful lot of late model Beemers and Mercs there... Seems being on welfare pays pretty good...

Actually they are being paid with welfare money, especially food stamps.
