Hi,
My car has just passed 2 years old, and I've done hardly any miles (less than 3000). Ordinarily with a regular ICE car from another manufacturer I'm not sure I'd be too worried, since it would generally be piling on the miles that led to bigger bills, but with Tesla I'm not sure what to think.
"They don't really need any maintenance" is something I keep hearing, and whilst that's true, I feel like my Tesla is a bit unique in so much that I've had to have a few minor things fixed under warranty. Specifically, I'm on my second set of rear taillights (well, one side is on first replacement, other side is on second) due to condensation. How much will they cost when I'm out of warranty, since the design is clearly faulty?
Also, while it doesn't affect me, I keep reading about people's powered boot struts failing. How much will that be out of warranty every time it goes wrong?
Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but I started to wonder this morning, with only 2 years left on my warranty and a small amount of miles done, am I going to be looking at regular annoying bills once it expires?
Thoughts?
