The average vehicle in America is sold after 6.5 years. Tesla may consider their duty lies only to that first buyer, not to any thereafter.

The irony is that hybrid/electric vehicles are being owned longer than fossil-fuelled vehicles before being sold.

This is definitely a Tesla mistake, probably simply owing to lack of corporate experience and long-term planning. Could even be poorer access to (specialized auto-grade) parts owing to their small scale in the past.

So telsas "million mile" drivetrain has a a requirement to do those miles in under 7 years - seems legit.
