Just wait till the battery needs to be replaced in that Tesla.
I guess those Tesla owners are saving on oil changes?

Yes, they save on gas/fuel costs, oil changes and many other wear tear ICE parts over the 8-10 year of the life span of the battery
The real thing is, no one knows the cost or type of battery that someone who buys a Tesla new today will be replacing in 8-10 years (post warranty).
With how quickly the tech is advancing, 8 years is an eternity and the battery will probably be cheaper, lighter weight and go longer distance than the battery they have in today. You can’t use the price today unless you are talking to someone who bought a Tesla in 2014…and the differences between 2014-2024 Tesla is already pretty extreme

Most Tesla owners probably aren’t going to replace their batteries:

His battery has experienced around 13% degradation after 200,000 miles.
And even if they do, it’ll be a decade from now when they’re will almost definitely be cheaper batteries and battery replacements.

its not the $13k batteries that get you, its the $20k in man hours to disassemble and remove the body from the frame to replace it

So in 1-5 years they only require $580? That’s bullshite. Tires cost more than that. These “reports” are so false. Clickbait garbage
