My Model S ran amazingly and needed minimal service for the first 8 years. It's low mileage but had been in 2 major accidents and still drove really well after these incidents.
Ironically, after my warranty completely expired last year, it's been nothing but trouble. I had the suspension repaired twice at $7000 and $2000 CAD, the CPU unit card changed which now causes the screen to freeze and put out weird displays most of the time (they wanted $2000 to fix this but I am still able to drive the car so I deferred). Now the 12V battery died without much warning and they said the logs show more to it than that. I towed it into service and they are quoting over $10,000 to fix the drive mechanism, which had shown no issues until the car just died yesterday.
At this point, I feel like I should not throw more money into it, but it only has 90,000km so how can the drivetrain be damaged?
Asking advice on what you would do in this case. I have kept the car this long as I have free supercharging for life and I'm not ready to buy another car, especially an electric one in this market!
