Is that sustainable? For Tesla I mean. They can't keep changing drive trains for everybody at no cost.

They only do it for 8 years, part of their Infinite Mile Warranty. [0]

It's likely brand building.

I doubt they are as generous with the Model 3. I would also sort of expect them to adjust the terms for new buyers of the more expensive cars once they figure out their actual lifetime costs for the warranty.

I'm curious to see what they offer on the Model 3. I'm guess they go back to a more industry standard warranty.
