Those numbers are totally bogus.. My only maintenance the past 8 years of Tesla ownership has been tires and cabin air filters. I literally have not spent a dime more on any maintenance.

There it is-your anecdotal evidence and personal experience has debunked the average cost of ownership based on all of the cars sold from a survey conducted by a reputable automotive website. Thanks for clearing that up. Since I only had to replace the brakes on my fiesta once, it’s utter bullshit that the average fiesta has had to have more than one brake replacement.

Whoa, I'm just going by what Tesla recommends!

edit: oh that reminds me, I forgot the 12v battery replacement, that cost ~$100 after 4 years of ownership on the Model 3.
