This poll is already getting used for the wrong reasons. I'm purposely not responding to it since its flawed.
1 motor replacement for me at ~33k miles. I was ok with not getting it replaced but the SC went ahead and replaced it since I mentioned hearing a very faint hum during low (30-40 mph) pressing of the accelerator. It just sounded like a quieter version of hard acceleration above 60+ mph.
As with many things Tesla, I think many people are over reacting on this topic. There are over 3-4 symptoms reported in this thread alone about drivetrain replacements. The conclusion can not then be that the ultimate end result would have been a car failure. There's not enough data to support a conclusion from a non-Tesla engineer.
I'm a bit surprised by some of the responses about getting an extended warranty in the event an out of warranty a motor replacement does cost a lot. Is there an option to continually extend the warranty? I never get extended warranties. If the product is designed well, you shouldn't need it. Getting a Tesla was also a stretch for me in the first place. I'll most likely blow through my original warranty in 2 years of ownership. If I absolutely need a motor replacement before 250,000 miles of ownership and Tesla quotes me above $2k, I'll laugh in their face and tell them they lost a customer for life. I love my Tesla but if it turns out the maintenance claims promised are false, my loyalty to them goes right out the window and I'll sell my car for the loss and move on to another EV.
