> That equates to $60 per month maintenance

You mean $600/month? $29,000/48 = $604.16. And that doesn't include Tesla's free (outside of warranty) battery replacement.

Your number assumes the car is driven 100,000 miles a year, which would get it to 400,000 miles in 48 months (4 years).

The original comment assumed 10,000 miles a year, which is on the light end.

The car is only 4 years old, it couldn't have been driven longer than it has existed.

I think OP adjusted to more regular annual mileage (10k miles/year), and adjusted the costs with it.

Additionally, with lighter milage, many of the repairs would likely have not been necessary.
