I'm sure the costs will go down with time, but Tesla wants to have a monopoly on Tesla repairs. You can't just take one of their cars to an auto repair shop, and they want to keep it that way.
I am not looking for a new vehicle but maybe a 100% battery one in 10 years?
My wife was forced to turn in a 1-year-old VW TDI diesel getting 49-mpg.
I have a friend who was getting 51-mpg on the same car. Current battery cars getting only 50-mpg seems un-eventfull as I was already getting that and with a better engine. Now I drive my 18-mpg diesel tuck more as that's the way the gov., wants it. 
I will look forward to a 100-mpg battery car in the future I hope as maybe a replacement? That is unless China stops letting us polluting and destroying their country (making batteries)?
