I drive about 100 miles/day in a Jaguar XF and have been thinking about trading because the fuel/maintenance/oil changes/brakes/tires etc... are really stacking up.
Electric appeals to me, I just dont have a ton of time to fully research it. My question boils down to what gotcha's (other than the buying process which I have read about troubles with) are there with say getting a used ~$30K model S vs getting a model 3 or perhaps other vehicle like a Bolt? The model S seems very nice, it just seems odd that the 2014 or so offerings have depreciated that much?
Is there still mandatory maintenance of around $600/year? Are there other expenses, do they chew up tires, use way more energy or anything like that i need to take into account in my calculations?
Is there any huge problem buying a used Tesla from 3rd party dealerships or from an individual and not from Tesla itself?
Just learning and I do not want to get bitten by something I hope/think I will really like....
