Original Roadster?
Why did you dispose of 2 ICE cars, and how old were they when you bought vs when you sold?
You'd have to answer why you'd buy another ICE.
I would buy a hybrid or PHEV for trips beyond 200 miles. Most modern vehicles are extremely reliable and have low maintenance, requiring just an oil change once a year and perhaps other fluid changes every decade.
So far on my 2006 Acura (bought in 2010) with 120,000 miles on it, I've changed the gear oil once, engine oil every year, radiator fluid once, brake fluid once, replaced one 12v battery, bought 1 set of tires, and the power steering fluid was changed during a recall that replaced the hose. It's probably got another 100k trouble-free miles left.
I'd steer clear of the Roadster
