It is an issue with resale value. But I drive about 12k miles per year, and the battery should last 500k miles. My last ICE car survived maybe 120k miles before being a write off. There's a good possibility that I'll only need to buy one Tesla for the rest of my driving days.

Or you could buy a Lexus. They seem to be good for a million plus miles.

Yes true, but a half million miles will do and I'd rather spend the time in a Tesla.
