A coworker has had nearly every part in his Tesla replaced. Motors, batteries, controllers and a bunch of parts in the body/frame. He has a heavy foot, but normal drivers will need their Tesla services eventually.

Could be the exception that proves the rule. Tesla car reliability is above average in its class (and that is improving over time as Tesla gains experience): https://www.consumerreports.org/car-reliability-owner-satisf...

We'll see what happens with EVs made by legacy automakers, but they have far less experience in this space.

I'm interested in seeing if that trend holds while Tesla appears to be taking greater and greater risks in their pursuit of production milestones.
