    I guess it depends on how long you keep a car, personally I usually go for a decade.

    I don’t have a Tesla though, just a ‘little’ Skoda Yeti :)

      I’ve had my car for 15 years. Also a Yeti, I’m Ship of Theseusing it to the end times. It had new tires, new suspension, new fan belt, new battery, new rear wiper motor, new windscreen, and a new wiring harness.

      It’s also been driven into a tree and brick wall on two separate occasions (not by me). And the radio has never worked.

      It’s rather like an unreliable tank, It can plow through anything as long as you throw money at it afterwards.
