Test drove one of these for the first time. It was great. I would really like to own one but I don't know what to expect. From what I gather, the car:
Requires essentially no maintenance besides tire replacement and very infrequent battery coolant changes (if these are even necessary?)
Will essentially be totaled with any structural damage due to aluminum framework.
Loses 5 percent of its advertised range in the first 30k miles, followed by 1% for every additional 30k.
So other than the high cost of repairs, and loss of range with use- is there anything else negative about the car I should know?
I have the chance to get a 2013 Performance 85. Are the earlier cars much different/worse than the newer ones in terms of quality and reliability?

You asked this already.

Look, it's still a car. You're still going to have lights to replace, door dings to fix, paint to re-spray. Things will break in the interior. Electrical problems can still pop up. Brakes to replace. Fluids to refill. It's not like you buy an electric car and just drive care free for the next 10 years.

Still less maintenance than a ice shit car

You only have to change the oil every 10k miles on a brand new car. Other than that they're basically maintenance free.
Look up what a replacement strut from Tesla costs and the examples of people getting fucked over when the "warranty" doesn't cover the $10k service.

better question. why don't ice car have 8 year warranty?
@nswer: they're shit

>>17416815
Or maybe it's because regular cars actually work and not have issues like the electric door handles breaking down.

I used to think that snobby European car enthusiasts were bad.
Then I discovered Tesla fans.
I honestly think that the car is okay, but it isn't without faults. It's hard to like something when its fan base wants to see your interests destroyed

It's going to suck if you live anywhere cold.
