The Tesla cars have 8 year unlimited mileage warranty, they obviously have a little bit of confidence on the longevity if they are willing to offer that kind of warranty.
We just bought a new vehicle and wanted to consider electric, but the problem is for range the Tesla's seem to be the best and you are either stuck waiting forever to order a model 3 or pay out the nose for a different Tesla model. So we bought a small diesel. There are of course other options out there but they are all the size of a shoebox with wheels and an electric motor.
What it seems like to me is Tesla is the only company willing to go all out on electric cars, other traditional manufacturers are hanging on too tightly to the Internal Combustion Engine to actually make a valid effort in producing a decent electric car.
Very easy to have a huge warranty when you get massive government funding to pay for everything.
Tesla does have a good name going right now but a very cocky CEO that will make brash claims like unlimited warranty and lifetime free charging just seems unrealistic as a sustainable business. Warranty isn’t worth anything if they go under.
Just not an Elon fan.
I think the new Porsche EV and some of the other big boys will be good cars when they come out. The difference is that the big manufacturers beat things to death before they will do a release whereas Elon will just release it quick and hope for the best.
