Agreed. Their hourly rate is outragious. If they had enough cash reserves, they could give the cars away for free and still make money just from the eventual servicing. Unlike the other OEMs, Tesla owns all the service centers. This is where the bulk of their profits will come from, more so than selling cars. If the Model S car has a lifetime of 16 years & 200K miles then look how much money Tesla stands to make on the servicing. Probably TWO replacement battery packs, $600 annual maintenance fee X16, and 13 years worth of broken stuff. It's obvious why they wanted to own all the dealerships -- no competition for the servicing. Rip people off with super high labor & parts and it turns into a goldmine. All that being said, I can't wait to buy a Model S.
