We're the 3rd owners of a 2014 Model S 85. We got the car in late 2020. The previous owner replaced the battery and fixed the suspensions in 2018. We bought it with 180,000 kms and now it has 200,000 kms.
A few months after we bought the car, we had a control arm break. When Tesla fixed the control arm, they had to fix all the suspensions. 6 months after the control arm failure, we had to replace all the brakes, including the parking brake, because the parking brake would not release. And now, a year after the brakes were fixed, the drive unit broke.
From reading forums, it seems like replacing a control arm, brakes, and drive unit on an almost 10 year old Tesla is normal. Some would say "to be expected". My question to all drivers with old Tesla's: what else can I expect to break in the future? Or is the worst over with?
