I think most of us can come to agreement that if any Tesla vehicle will last us 10 years of use, with minimal maintenance cost and repair, no one would be apprehensive to jump in.
I can't write a check for one but if I liquidate some securities, I can, but only if the car is going to last for a long time because the reasons I want to adopt a BEV are lower overall transportation (cheaper to charge than to fuel up) and maintenance cost and for me the bonus would be decent handling/dynamics.
I think even for other makes (Euro/Korean/Japanese), BEVs will proved to be more reliable than their ICEV counterparts. Most of the complaints I read about the 2 Series are related to the engine so remove that and the complicated transmission from the equation and BMW BEVs will definitely cost less to maintain compared to their ICEV variants.
I think the only wants who can speak authoritatively to TCO are the ones still driving their roadsters or S'es who warranties have long expired.
Anyone else who talks about their Tesla vehicles and how reliable they are while within the warranty or ESA period is not doing anyone a lot of justice especially if their vehicles had gone in for countless repairs.
