100% this. I don't like supporting big oil, but at the end of the day I value the ability to repair a vehicle at an affordable cost.
Things like a 20k battery replacement? Hell no thank you, I'll grab another aspirated one with 100000 on the clock, and many more to go.
13K ish for a model 3/Y. The X and S, that cost north of 80K after options, are in the 20K range for battery replacement.
That said, the batteries have an 8 year /150Kish mile warranty that kicks in at 70% capacity retention. So even if it's functional but losing enough capacity, they'll replace it
