I'm curious about the study they cite - it smells bullshit, as most Tesla provided numbers.

In this study they calculate the 10-year maintenance cost as % of the car initial price. I'm very very curious, how the hell do they calculate that, for Tesla Model 3, that was released 6 years ago, and started shipping in real numbers only 3 years ago...

Those numbers are guestimatess basically.

Good catch. Just like how they always give us miles per accident in situations users feel comfortable using autopilot vs all other vehicles' all-situation miles, I'm sure it's a very principled approach like (10/years so far) * maintenance cost so far
