In the past we've always kept our cars for a long time (that is, run them into the ground). Now, we can afford to replace them much sooner.
Nick (see sig) is at 70K miles now, and still feels like new (though not as new as Tessie), but I'm starting to think about at what mileage we might replace him. Is there a mileage at which problems become more frequent?
Other factors:

Other factors:
- Nick has FSD (which we got for $6,000)
- The closest Tesla service center is 5 hours away
- We treat the car well, rarely drive over 68 MPH
- Climate is very temperate here (usually 60 degrees, even in the summer, never cold)
- We would definitely get another Model 3 (S not sporty enough and wider than 3)
- Nick has had very few problems (control arms, charge port, rear camera cable, broken roof glass)
