Can’t imagine there’s too many maintenance costs besides brakes and suspension and suspension is more like a 8-10 year cost. And brakes are relatively cheap.
No oil changes, no transmission fluid changes, no fluids in the car except for hydraulic fluid for the brakes, and windshield wiper fluid.
Edit: I am curious to see how durable that cover for the tailgate is though.
Not a lot of brake maintenance on a car that barely uses the brake because of regenerative braking. I’ve changed the tires more than the brake pads on my Tesla.

I imagine the majority of people that buy these are the kind to buy a new car every five years anyway.
I am really interested to see how much maintenance costs are at the five year period and beyond though.

How often do you change your tires?
