No but it is when major repairs typically start being required. And the battery life on tesla's does appear to be
extending well beyond the 8 year mark.
Basically you can anticipate major repair costs starting after 100k miles on any car these days. That is year 8. When you throw in regular maintenance costs for the ICE car, v. little no maintenance costs on the electric, I think you basically call the 8 year expense to be a wash in factoring whether you should get an electric or ICE

I'm saving about $160 a month on gas costs by charging at home. I'll recover the costs on the charger in

Depreciation isn't normal on cars right now though. You could take possession of a new Tesla and turn around and sell

8 years or 100k whatever comes first. And yes real life expectancy is looking closer to 300k or 400k.
