I manage large portfolio properties in NYC/Michigan/Memphis/Indiana all handsoff.FYI: I am a Software developer at Ford Motor.

With the exception of the property we recently sold, nothing in the comparable range has the amount of work or detail we have put into this particular property including an engineering report with $6,000 in warrantied foundation work, a new roof, completely replumbed under home replacing all cast iron piping, new electrical system installed, new flooring, new garage motors and doors and interior touches such as counter tops, backsplash, paint and finishes.  

Most gm motors are bulletproof and require very little maintenance aside from regular oil and filter changes in my experience.i doubt I will ever lease .

The only benefit is with simple repairs like motors and other parts. they will cover 100% of that.  

If for no other reason than we don't know their whole story, and most wealthy people don't advertise how much they have...or give, or they would be presented with requests to fund "icebergs with attached motors racing from the North Pole to Africa to cure a water shortage", everyday. 

there is NO range anxiety since after 52 miles of EV driving, almost 290 miles of gas driving is available and you can fill up your car at any gas station.The car is ZIPPY due to 100% electric motor driven car.  

Motor Carrier Safety Admin (70 hours in 8 day period). 

That said: lots of people - myself included - live in areas that being without a form of motorized transportation would be virtually impossible.

I too quit a job at Ford motor company and it took big Kahuna's to make that decision.

Some of the early Tesla have had their electric motors replaced, but the newer ones are more reliable and should go over 500K.
