I've owned a Model 3 for over five years (~100K miles) and a Model Y for over 3 years (~45K miles). $0 maintenance excluding replacing the tires. This has been a game changer for me, since I perform my own maintenance on all of the vehicles I own - it's made me lazy about cars and I love it. :) Of course I cannot replace the batteries and I will have to have that done sooner or later, and who knows how much that will cost.

My friend has worked as a mechanic for some years and completed his diesel mechanic certification a year ago because the need for gasoline engine mechanics is likely going to decrease substantially before he can retire.
