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.

In terms of cost of repairs, there has been almost none, except for a skidplate / cover thing that broken when my wife went into a low drive way too fast. The part was like almost $300 and free installation. This model older needs air conditioning system cleaned and filter changed and did that twice and that's cheap. A 12v battery needed replacement and that was low cost and free install. Tesla's service dept. has been excellent. This Model 3 has been way cheaper than even my past Honda Civic natural gas car that started having problems like A/C, transmission and other problems at 125k miles.
The reliability has been excellent. No break downs, no being towed off the freeways or anything like that. If you drive fast, the tires will wear down prematurely and I've replaced 2 sets of tires in 5 years. I charge the Tesla's at home and I'd say they're about $80 a month. If you have solar, it's going to be super cheap to recharge at home.
Overall, the cars are very fast reliable and probably the safest cars on the road with getting the highest crash test ratings. I think the reliability and safety is why I bought a 2nd Tesla. I hope this helps and I recommend setting up a test drive. Good luck!

PHV recognizes that most people only drive short distances and that paying for a huge battery for the rare 100+ mile journeys isn't logical right now. I'm sure there are some people who regularly take advantage of the range, but for most people, it's like a family of 3 owning a 6 bedroom house so they can host people at Christmastime.

That is a terrible advice to give. Imagine getting the letter from the IRS 5 years from now, telling you you owe $15K for tax, penalty, and interest.
What's withheld from your check has zero to due with tax liability - that's the amount of tax you are liable for at the end of the year, based on your income, deductions, etc, regardless of if you are getting a refund or have to write the IRS a check. Nonrefundable tax credits (all of them) do not pay you back in excess of your tax liability.
