For those who own a Tesla what is the cost of the annual maintenance, I know there are no oil changes and other maintenance required ICE but I'm just curious.

I suspect when it comes to market I predict there will be no rocket anything, no system to suck the car down to a road and drive inverted, etc. Thus the price point may drop.... or bait-and-switch at the same price.

No kidding… you just don’t get it do you!

If it were not for the FSD supervised I probably would not by a Tesla or any EV. I would just get a nice hybrid. The FSD is a game changer. It’s not about saving money.

I’m waiting for mine to arrive, but as I understand the only thing you need is a tire rotation at 7k and keep the washer fluid up. A brake fluid flush at four years. You also need to use the brakes occasionally to keep the rotors clean. Most braking is done by regeneration.

But what are you spending on annual maintenance for the Teslas with FSD that you do own?

FSD is not maintenance. It’s a feature you can buy monthly, on demand, or not at all. It’s like buying a car and subscribing to satellite radio.

Maintenance on a Tesla involves tire rotation, cabin filter changes, tire pressure checks, new tires when they ware out. Maybe a wheel alignment at some point.
