I have gone through tires pretty fast, My 19 Michelin OEM's wore out at about 10,000 miles as did my Continental DWS and Pirelli winter tires. I'm on my second set winter tires right now, with 400 miles on some new Michelin Ice3's. Speed limits here in Montana are 75-80 mph so I have driven her pretty hard.
Every repair was at zero cost to me and have been taken care of by rangers coming to my home from Denver, 716 mile away, Bellevue or Seattle 677 miles away, Salt Lake City 417 miles away and Spokane 399 miles. My car had to be taken to Seattle once to repair the contactor fuse failure and had my 1 year service done at the same time. They even had my car transported in an enclosed trailer when they had it shipped back to me.
Since yearly service is "optional", I think I would skip the first year and take it in for service the second year. Both interior and exterior wear have nothing to report. I take my car to a detailer 3 times per year for hand wash, wax and interior shampoo and use a touch less or hand spray car wash every week or two. I have had some water collect in the rear tail lights and had those replaced once also.
I love driving this car everyday to work, summer, and winter here in Montana and it has been a Dream. I have met many Tesla Buddies over the past 2 years which has been great also. I think I may Trade my car in next year, my 3rd year of ownership, since now there are next generation seats available, AWD and Auto Pilot features that would be a major upgrade. I have not reserved a Model X yet, but will as soon as our Ford van starts showing signs of needing replaced and will reserve a Model Y someday to replace my Ford Hybrid Escape. I am very happy with my Tesla Motors Inc purchase and how I have been taken care of so far!
