The 10 year old cars you are talking about are ICE, right? Cars whose designs and parts have an entire country's worth of infrastructure to repair?
That doesn't apply to EVs yet- especially not to Tesla's earliest models. And I don't think it will be a barrier to increased adoption either.
At least in my case, if i keep my hybrid for ten years, I would expecto have to rplace the battery and the cost would be ~1/4 of the car. This is one reason I typically sell my car when the maint costs start to increase.
