Data is indicating that after 100K miles, Tesla Model 3s driven in less than ideal conditions (charging up to 100% for for frequent road trips, fast charging, track days) results in about a 11%-14% loss in range. I haven’t heard of frequent battery replacements, but comprobable ICE cars that have the accelerative abilities of the Dual Motor Teslas in particular are very expensive to maintain, and have DCT/DSG/oil changes/brake pad/etc maintenance.Electric cars are neat until the battery pack goes bad and runs you 20k minimum to replace
Another observation is after track days when I talk to Porsche/Chevy/Ford guys who are doing fluid and tire replacements after track weekends-I only need a wash and tires after such activities. Maybe a compelling financial case vs the seemingly more rare battery failure you’ve described, especially in this inflationary oil climate IMHO.
