I'm curious to see how Tesla will compare to these after they have been out for a while. I heard they are cheap to maintain, I hope that turns out to be true.

In theory, because they have less parts that need maintenance they could be. Right now, from what I've read, the biggest problem with Tesla's vehicles is that so few places can maintain them.

That may change when Tesla's 30K-ish vehicle launches.

Supposedly all those places are owned by Tesla.
It costs $1500 just to change the tires on a Tesla.
My last Jeep Wrangler tires cost $1300. Granted, they are a bit larger than stock, and I had to buy 5, but $1500 isn't grossly out of line for quality tires.
