I don't have a Tesla but I believe to that maintenance you have to add annual brake maintenance and more frequent and expensive tire replacement. Not unexpected with a heavy performance vehicle but definitely an added cost.
I would have been wary of the electronics and software package but as there has not been a lot of press of Tesla's "blue screening," the software must be in pretty good shape.
It would be really great if a Tesla fit my driving habits. Unfortunately, today it does not.

Blue screening is a Microsoft issue and does not apply to any other computer system.
The standard model 3 is not a performance car but the most efficient economy car on the planet. It has a lower 5 year cost of ownership than both Accord and Camry. Maintenance is essentially zero as well. Most people I know do not enjoy having to bring their vehicle into service but to the each their own.
