Two pack failures over 3 million miles does not worry me in the least. Especially if Tesla replaced the packs for free. That's a per mile cost of 0c ?
Tesloop’s Model S had the front drive unit replaced at 17,441 miles, the 1st battery at 194,237 miles, and the 2nd battery at 324,044 miles. Would you find that acceptable if you were a normal customer and you had to pay out-of-pocket for both packs? Would you even pay to replace a battery pack on a vehicle with 200K miles?

What if this was a BMW E-Class. Would it be acceptable to replace a transmission at 17,441, the engine at 194,237 miles, and another engine at 324,004 miles?


Yes, the cost to Tesloop was $0. That is because their business model was to take advantage of Tesla’s 8-year warranty and free supercharging to run an unlicensed shuttle service. Tesloop is not the typical EV customer.
