@Kydd No problems in 4.5 years other than a minor interior trim issue that was fixed in my driveway by replacing a clip with a stronger one. I'll discount the cracked windshield caused by a truck that threw a stone at the car. 🙂
As for costs, I've paid for scheduled maintenance (every two years, for air filter change, brake caliber cleaning, and brake fluid check) for a total of (IIRC) less than $800. I'm not driving all that much so my fuel savings costs are relatively modest, but the Tesla app says that in 2023 I paid $107 for charging (mostly at home at $0.085 per kWH, using Ontario's evening electricity rates, meaning that it costs me about $1 to go 100 km) and saved roughly $630 in gas costs. I'm at less than 40,000 km in 4.5 years so you can tell those numbers would be higher if I drove more.
As for some of the other points: range is definitely lower in winter, but so is it for a gas car - if you're mostly driving near home, that's generally obviated by the fact that you can leave your garage with an 80% "full tank" every morning. And there's never a problem with waiting for heat to come on - my car starts heating up in about 30 seconds.
Caveat: mine is a 2019 and so I can't speak for whether the quality level has gone done since I bought mine, but mine has been impeccable in terms of reliability.
If you would like a Tesla referral code, DM me here with your email address. My understanding is that will give you a cash discount on your purchase while I get referral credits that can be used towards buying accessories (which, I will never use since I won't have referred enough people). I'm offering this as a courtesy in case you don't have another source of a referral code.
