You made my point for me, thanks. Like I said, I have a 2009 hybrid and will be unloading it in a few years only because the warranty is going away. Thanks again for reminding me what it's going to cost, it renews my motivation to dump the car. A massive repair bill of $12K will somehow be reduced to a massive repair bill of an unspecified "lot less." Good news indeed! Upon what economic model is the price of a battery's components going to be "a lot less?" How much less and when? Is the price of Lithium going down? Nickle? The labor cost? This isn't computer chips, you can't count on prices to drop like they do in consumer electronics.
Base on all of the above, I would bet on minimal maintenance costs for Model-S
You keep using the words "minimal maintenance costs." I don't think they mean what you think they do.
