Looks like early adopters are going to get hit yet again since they will probably be the first to hit 300k to 500k miles.
Shell out yet another $5k to $7k.
Update will probably be free to new owners. <----------- That's the trend now. ( The longer you wait...the more free stuff you get ).

avg Uber ride costs $2/mile today. cars live for ~150k miles. robotaxis could charge $1/mile and generate $150k in revenue over their lifetime.
transportation as a service flips gross margin structure of vehicles from ~20% to 50%+

Model 3 drive unit & body is designed like a commercial truck for a million mile life. Current battery modules should last 300k to 500k miles (1500 cycles). Replacing modules (not pack) will only cost $5k to $7k.
