> Tesla never refreshes their models

I'v seen quite a few Tesla Ys that needed repairs and... they seem to improve the car year to year or even months to months. Car interface suddenly changes to RJ45, some metal parts changed to aluminium (if I'm not mistaken), various things that become easyer to fix and so on. Low Voltage battery getting Li-Ion. Front under body changes: https://service.tesla.com/docs/BodyRepair/Body_Repair_Proced...

And then the airbag controller gets newer and newer.

Not something to market about, but you see steady incremental improvements.

What I want to say, the serviceability is very good for the cars. You get open documentation, you can access toolbox for a price, but it's there for the simple DIYer. Need to change pyro fuse? No problem, pop up docs, order part, change it. The parts are cheap.

Don't you need roadside assistance to change a tire still?

Umm... why?

They dont carry spares because of the regenerative breaking if I recall corrrectly? Was a friend tesla owner that told me a while back.

Haven't heard it. People changing tires for winter or just changing because after it was totaled and no one complained about it :)

Changing tires at a shop i not the same as having a blown tire on the side of the road!

They've just refreshed their Model 3 and Model Y within the last year or so. With the model Y looking considerably different so I'm not sure where you got that from

I can give you the Model Y but take a look at the rest of the lineup compared to when they were first released. Hell, you're in this very post calling the S/X old.

And yet absolutely no under the hood stats have changed in 8 years - battery capacity, charging rate, charging curve, performance

Sorry? The midrange model 3 now has 750km range as of last year.

It has 702 WLTP, not 750

And that's because they got the long range battery and put it in a RWD configuration - something they haven't done before.

It's not due to any improvement in battery technology, range, charging rate/curve, etc
