i'm no fan of the Elon Musk scam but, GM screwups makes Tesla look like child's play. They just did it at a lower price to the buyer and without draining the govt teat.

Sweet! Sounds like I can get a great deal on a flat-floor XKE

100k miles per year?

From the link: "One of the common fears of people considering an electric vehicle is long-term reliability."

4 years is not "long term."

"High Mileage" sure.
