Small city near Amsterdam.
We can meet up at Tesla European HQ and SuperCharger. They have great coffee there.
Ferrari includes 7 years of maintenance so the cost there is 0. (although it doesn't include tires)One of the benefits of EV ownership is a general lack of periodic maintenance, which for most super cars can be extreme.
I was thinking about the McLaren when I wrote that, but it's interesting about Ferrari. My guess is that it's probably funded from the marketing budget. References to outrageous supercar maintenance is all over the place, and well known as an issue.Ferrari includes 7 years of maintenance so the cost there is 0. (although it doesn't include tires)
And Tesla's ridiculous annual service fees have killed the whole thought that EV's don't require periodic maintenance.
I don't want to devolve this into a discussion of how to spend one's money, but I expect that one can get quite acceptable performance and significantly longer life from tires that aren't nearly as expensive as what the car comes with. As a daily driver, ultimate performance isn't necessary, and by your logic, you can always get (afford) a second set of wheels for those days when you take the car to the track.It's more along the lines of "if you can afford a $200,000 car then you can afford to buy good f#%€ing tires, too."
Plus you're not going to get that extreme performance with crap tires.
I wouldn't worry too much about ride height. US spec cars (e.g. Porsche) are notably set to relatively high road clearance. Either way easy to fix with small modifications, especially if New Roadster will be equipped with air suspension.What do you personally think about the daily driver-ability of the new Roadster?
As a fellow Dutchie literally the only reason I have not pre-ordered the 2020 is concern about getting over our country's many speed-bumps... if it's going to be Lambo-level annoying, I'm unfortunately going to have to pass on it.

Fear for high maintenance, wear and repair costs is my main reason for holding off my reservation.
NB Welkom hier met je eerste post. Heb je al wel een Model S of X?

I have had only one Ferrari, but I drove mine about 30,000 miles a year. It clearly varies, and perhaps most of them are not driven very much, but many fo them are. Mostly they are quite reliable, as for that matter are post-Audi Lamborghini. Repair costs are, I agree, expensive.Ha! As if Ferrari owners drive their cars enough to require any real maintenance...

When I got my last BMW they included maintenance for 4 years (I think its only 3 now) and my costs beyond that were still well below what Tesla charges for the Annual service. Around here with low gas prices and high electric prices, the fuel savings is not enough to overcome the ridiculous annual maintence costs that Tesla charges. Of course if you drive more, or if you have cheaper electric that could work out differently for you.OTOH, I challenge anybody to find a cheaper car to operate than the S or the X as long as the comparison is to something comparable. My own experience with BMW 5 and 7 plus MB S-class shows my P85D is less than half the cost to operate. Scheduled maintenance is even cheaper.
oof, was the founders version always full price within 10 days?Still taking orders. Reserve your Roadster | Tesla
$5k now and then remaining $245,000 within 10 days.

Wheels and tires - Track set and daily set. Makes perfect (financial and functional) sense to me. I have no need to impress idiots on the street. I just want to have fun in the appropriate environment.Why would you possibly spend $200k on a car and then cheap out on tires?
