Idle musing (...I drove a Model S today and it was immensely fun and now I need one)

How are things shaping up now the earlier cars are out of non-drivetrain warranty? Assuming anything massively scary is covered by the 8-year battery warranty, but what about everything else? Is there any semblance of independent repairers yet? Is much DIYable that usually goes wrong? Do they still get OTA software updates once warranty ends?

Any experiences? Even with man maths they don’t make any financial sense, but I still want one

Thanks all. Food for thought.

It’s certainly a different approach to motoring, I loved all the little smart touches, like air con coming on as you unlock, the frunk, or the simplicity of the satnav, and the feeling of being smacked in the chest with a sledgehammer whenever I accelerated

A bit lacking in interior storage maybe my only criticism
