    Most people that I know that get rid of a car that's still going well after owning it for a number of years do so because it's becoming expensive to maintain it. High km major services coupled with a failure that triggers fear for the future cost and reliability.
    I believe Tesla's are virtually service free or optional and the computer lets you know when anything needs attention. Since the components are designed for extreme life cycles with brakes almost optional too thanks to regen, what would be the motivation to change a Tesla model 3 after 150,000km? All it needs is tyres and a polish so it's a valuable asset instead of a depreciating liability.

    I enjoy a new car but I also appreciate a car that has given good service and is a pleasure to drive after many years and that's what i'm hoping EV's will offer and reverse the throw away mentality.
