There's a pattern with Tesla threads here. I don't care if you all wanna discuss the deal or the cars but it always turns into paaaages and paaaages of bickering back and forth and nobody ,except for the few involved, enjoy that or wanna wade through that. So cut that stuff out, please and thank you.

1. Reliability
2. Cost of Repair
3. Depreciation
What are y'all's thoughts on this?
1) Reliability - Toyota is known for this. With most ICE cars as long as you keep up with maintenance you're typically good. If I had no place to charge I would drive a Toyota.
Tesla (Model 3/Y) I haven't had any major issues in the past 5 years, my 4 years of standard warranty resolved whatever issues I had (nothing power train related). Except the 12v battery which mobile service came out to fix under warranty during the pandemic.
Tesla's are reliable, enough where it was our primary and only car for a few years.
2) Cost of Repair - I did pay for a heater core for $900. I haven't heard of this surfacing for other model years except 2018-2019. Outside of that windshield washer fluid and cabin air filters which I do myself. I'm on year 6 of ownership.
One of the good things about repairs on a Tesla is the transparency of what is being replaced and cost. Since if people had their car serviced they typically post how much it costs in labor and parts. For typical ICE vehicles good luck finding a good mechanic.
3) Depreciation - Toyota's are like the iPhones, still worth a decent amount in the used market. Even if it's an older model you know what you're getting, something that works. But all cars depreciate, also as Tesla continues to scale in efficiency when building these things comes down in price.
The market is finally coming back down for consumers and personally it's great for used car buyers.
Having driven on ICE for over 15 years and PHEV/EV for the past 7-8 years. I can never go back to ICE. People who generally argue EV's suck have never driven both. Most EV drivers have driven both types of cars.
I would do it again, especially with today's used prices I think it's a steal along with the improvements they've made with the car over the years.
I paid over $60k in 2018 with FSD. You can probably find the same features on a newer model for less than 30k on the used market.
Oh I can also say this car never feels old to drive. My 2018 can drive itself and this wasn't unavailable until end of 2022 beginning of 2023. It's like waking up to a new car with every update.
I also use to do my own car maintenance with oil changes, spark plugs, whatever you can do in a garage. I don't miss any of that. Including going to the gas station. My time is worth more and an EV saves me that.
We leased a 2018 Kia Soul EV in the past with rarely any issues but decided to stick with Tesla. Also Kia/Hyundai has no NACS support. Superchargers for those road trips because of family.

Figure 1: nationwide Supercharger network that literally forced everyone off a standard that already existed because it was simply too good, compared to the Inflation Reduction Act-funded NEVI charger program that's nearly three years old and has installed a grand total of around ~20 already obsolete CCS chargers, on orphaned charging networks, in places where they'll never be used.
Figure 2: single-handedly destroying United Launch Alliance's/Russia's stranglehold on orbital placement capability. Imagine how mad you must be as a Lockheed or Boeing executive, already penciling in 50 years of lucrative government contacts for delivering near-nothing, then this PayPal a**hole comes in.
Figure 3: Friend/enemy distinction. He makes people I don't like angry, thus, I like him.
You sound like a very sad person. I hope this Tesla brings you more joy.
