So the maintenance cost in 3-4 years is enough to buy a gas powered automobile. Just lovely. Then there are those Lithium batteries that have to be “recycled”.

Note two main batteries replaced under warranty.

The second battery pack replacement happened at 324,000 miles and Tesloop says it experienced a much more aggressive battery degradation of ~22%. Tesla said that there was an issue with the pack: Diagnostics show the high voltage battery assembly is not functioning appropriately. Removed and replaced the high voltage battery assembly. Replaced with a 90kw permanent battery replacement. Pushed updated firmware to ensure proper communications. Upon completion, function test was performed to confirm concern has been rectified.
