I had several motors replaced. Free in warranty but I will never own one out of warranty. Tesla's are built like old Yugos. Poor craftsmanship and the worst reliability I've ever had. If it wasn't unmatched speed and ok enough as a day to day driver I wouldn't own it. And without the factory needing to pay for towing when the computer glitches out, it would get too expensive.
I'm waiting to replace my truck for ford or chevy. They should be able to build it like an actual truck instead of a phone you replace every 2 or 3 years.
I prefer to stick with proven reliability with over 100+ years instead of a warranty and having to spend more money to replace a vehicle that has no resale value every few years. I'm building an engine for the DD Jeep and I'll maybe have $2000 into it when it's done. And then I go for another 300k.
Electric cars are proven longer than gas, Henry Fords wife drove electric and refused gas because crank starters killed and maimed people and took more strength than smaller people could handle, and the crazy thing is they got 100 mile range a century ago (more than a Nissan Leaf)
Ironically, technology improvements to electric motors made gasoline better than electric and the rest is history. Starter motors made all the difference.
It also helped gas get dedicated supply stores that eventually became filler stations. Early on you could charge at home but had to buy gasoline at a pharmacy, and inventory was unreliable.
Enough history. Stick with the Jeep. It'll always be awesome
