Not impressed since it’s electric and my guess is the actual maintenance is much higher and not available. Battery cost alone is ~ $7k - $12k or more depending on where you get answers from.

Since nobody is going to bother to read the article:

Tesloop has incurred a combined maintenance cost of roughly $19,000 or about $0.05/mile. This cost breaks down to $6,700 for general vehicle repairs and $12,200 for regularly scheduled maintenance. The Model S’ full service record is available here. The record includes comparable estimated costs of running the service with a Lincoln Town Car instead of a Model S or Mercedes GLS class instead of a Model X. Tesloop estimates that a Lincoln Town Car or Mercedes GLS class’ combined maintenance cost to be around $88,500 ($0.22/mile) and $98,900 ($0.25/mile) respectively over 400,000 miles.

The battery pack was replaced twice under warranty. My guess is that the battery warranty is based on timne, not amount of usage, so a cab service is the most efficient way to use the warranty. 400,000 miles spread over ten years would also include at least two battery pack changes, and probabably not under warranty.
